Talk:NEMA connector

The article says, "When a power feed cord is detachable from an RV, an L5-30P is usually used on the RV end of the cord. " That is hard to believe. Almost certainly, at the RV end of the cord the connector would be a female ("receptacle" - "R").

I think today typical RVs (except the largest) have a TT-30P on the RV body, so the cord would have a TT-30R at the RV end. Doug Kerr

First, instead of writing your name, put in four tilde's. WP will then put in your name, date, and time.

Otherwise I suspect you are right, though it depends on how exactly you read the statement.

Even though it doesn't seem like it, it could mean the trailer side of the connection. This is a general problem when describing connectors, where it is sometimes easier to describe in terms of the mating connector. Gah4 (talk) 00:37, 31 October 2022 (UTC)

It seems that the NEMA 24 only comes in the locking form as L24-20. [ANSI_NEMA WD 6-2021 watermarked_2024-04-30.pdf It is described here, which you can get a free account to download for non-commercial use. Gah4 (talk) 13:51, 30 April 2024 (UTC)

I'm not knowledgeable enough to edit the remainder of the table, but I believe it should include a Hot-Hot-Ground-Neutral. I know it's 250v 20a. Shiseiji (talk) 17:46, 18 September 2024 (UTC)

The images of some receptacles, the 10-30R for example, show the flat blades at a 90° angle to each other whereas the image file NEMA_simplified_pins.svg at the top of the NEMA_connector#Nomenclature section shows them at a narrower angle, approximately 60°. Looking up this connector on the web also shows the blades at that narrower angle.

The list of nations that use the standard includes Canada, Mexico, and Japan. Taiwan also uses the standard, under BSMI standard CNS 690 for the NEMA 5-15 plugs, but I cannot find an English source directly from them readily on the internet. Mandarin here: https://www.bsmi.gov.tw/wSite/public/Attachment/f1458273092506.pdf

There's also this website listing CNS 690 & Type B as the standard for the plug, from a company operating within Taiwan: https://www.liandung.com.tw/Taiwan/LT-202-535-BSMI.html ~2025-36549-68 (talk) 09:52, 26 November 2025 (UTC)

It would make sense, but I'm not sure if the list is meant to be complete. I guess quite a number of other countries use these connectors too, without being listed? Gawaon (talk) 15:17, 26 November 2025 (UTC)
