How to read this profile

No mating-face pin numbering is published in V40; count and absence of protective-earth contact are the bounded facts.

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.

Scoped support: Engineering boundary: IEC 60320 appliance couplers are treated as two-pole couplers with or without a protective conductor; V40 uses this only to avoid inventing extra contacts on non-grounded pairs.

Not established / limitations: Engineering-reference scope only. V40 does not turn this source into fabrication approval, electrical safety approval, protocol guarantee, safe substitution or end-to-end compatibility proof.
