How they differ
NEMA 1-15P plug Read the NEMA marking or exact product documentation; do not identify mains compatibility from a visual blade resemblance alone.
NEMA 5-15P plug Identify the plug designation and then verify the equipment nameplate, supply and local requirements.
Then askIs the documented plug the non-grounding 1-15P configuration or grounded 5-15P?

Key distinction
A familiar shell, blade or coding family does not establish voltage, current, wiring, grounding, mating or safe operation.
A familiar household plug shape does not establish that a device is safe for a given circuit or region.
Illustrations are computer-generated with prior AI visual review; independent technical and rights review pending. A comparison is not a compatibility verdict.
This comparison stays within one evidence layer.
All selected records are Connector records. Similar layer does not mean compatible, interchangeable or safe to mate.

Scoped support: Identifies NEMA 5-15P/R and 5-20P/R forms and notes the T-slot characteristic of a 5-20R receptacle.
Not established / limitations: Identification/reference scope only. V36 does not convert this source into a universal pinout, fabrication drawing, electrical approval or end-to-end compatibility verdict.

Scoped support: Primary manufacturer identification reference for NEMA 1-15P plug: V47 normalizes the named connector designation and 2-position/contact/conductor context only.
Not established / limitations: Identification/reference scope only. V47 does not turn this source into a universal wiring map, installation approval, safe-use recommendation, fabrication drawing or end-to-end compatibility verdict.

Scoped support: Named 515PV cord plug only. Not a complete cord, installation, wall device or dimensioned mating drawing.
Not established / limitations: Title says Rubber while Body Material says PVC; material identification is held, not resolved. No issue/revision date established. Photo is oblique and does not establish exact blade spacing or wiring.
Scoped support: Current primary-document research for P185 / 515PV. Each normalized fact retains its exact part/family, role and document scope.

Hubbell/Bryant describes the NEMA 5-15P plug form in its wiring-device identification guidance.
Claim scope: V36 catalogue-expansion identification fact only; not independent technical approval, fabrication data, wiring instruction or end-to-end compatibility proof.
Leviton identifies 515PV as a grounded NEMA 5-15P cord plug, with two poles, three wires and a 15 A / 125 VAC component rating.
Claim scope: Exact 515PV component. Its rating is not a rating for an assembled extension cord, connected equipment or an installation; no wiring or substitution approval.
The 515PV product page says its ratings and NEMA identification are permanently marked on the device.
Claim scope: Manufacturer marking statement, not an inspection of an actual unit. Use the markings and exact model documentation rather than yellow color or body resemblance.
Exact source example 515PV: construction: Grounding cord plug,2pole3wire; keyed housing and body align during assembly; separate clamp over jacket. rating: 15 A125 V. Exact manufacturer part; construction, role and regional rating remain scoped. No physical compatibility, pin map or hardware validation is established.
Claim scope: Exact named component/family technical construction reference from the full current primary document; geometry, ratings and implementation limits do not transfer to other variants.
Leviton identifies 101-P as a NEMA 1-15P, 15 A, 125 V, 2-pole 2-wire polarized non-grounding plug.
Claim scope: V47 identification fact only; the cited product establishes the named connector/configuration and narrow position/conductor context, not universal wiring, mating, installation safety or interchangeability.
Exact source example 101-P: construction: Straight-blade polarized2pole2wire non-grounding plug; thermoplastic body; brass contacts. rating: 15 A125 V. Exact manufacturer part; construction, role and regional rating remain scoped. No physical compatibility, pin map or hardware validation is established.
Claim scope: Exact named component/family technical construction reference from the full current primary document; geometry, ratings and implementation limits do not transfer to other variants.
Recorded evidence only. An inspection date, publisher label, source link or generated packet is not independent technical review, hardware testing, fabrication approval or a compatibility verdict.
