What is a receptacle?

A receptacle is the fixed half of a connector pair, mounted on a wall, a panel or a machine, that the plug on the cable mates into. On MS circular connectors it is ordered by shell size and insert arrangement, with the plug matched to it. The receptacle usually carries the socket contacts so nothing live is exposed when the plug is out.
