The useful distinction
Recognize it. Then verify it.
NEMA 1-15P is a two-pole, two-wire non-grounding straight-blade plug designation; it must be distinguished from grounded 5-15P forms. [C271A]
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. [C271B]
Source-scoped identification facts
Each value retains its exact example, role and measurement axis. Facts from different parts must not be combined into an invented component.

| Verified device list | Not included. Check exact device and accessory documentation. |
Use the source-backed connector name and position/contact count only for identification. Resolve circuit or system requirements, wiring, grounding, protocol, ratings, device support and installation requirements from the exact equipment and component documentation.
Before you connect
What to check
- Identify the exact connector family and variant from equipment, component or cable documentation.
- Keep physical form, contact count, electrical rating, wiring and device support as separate facts.
- Do not force, rewire, adapt or energize a connector from this recognition record; resolve the remaining requirements with qualified documentation first.
What is not established
This field note does not approve a connection, adapter, cable assembly, rewiring scheme, energized test, installation or fabricated part. It intentionally omits unsupported wiring assignments and mechanical tolerances.
