NEMA straight blade plugs, connectors, and receptacles carry unique pin positions based upon amperage and voltage. Use the NEMA plug chart below to identify a configuration by pin array or designation. NEMA designations are based on a two-part code where the numbers before the dash represent voltage and wires and the numbers after the dash represent amperage. For example, the "5" in the common NEMA 5 15 represents 3-Wire 125V and the "15" represents 15 amp. While most designations have been adopted by various industries, some of these configurations have never been manufactured.
