type E/F CEE socket Explanation: The exact way of wording it may be influenced by the surrounding text, which it would have been helfpul to give us. Assuming the intended reader might not be in Europe, I think it is only meaningful if you add 'CEE', in which case, specifying it as a type E or F makes sense, is explicit, and should not be omitted. As for 'prise', again, your wider context ought to make this clear, but normally a 'prise' is a socket, and usually fixed (to wall, or to equipment, etc.) — in some cases, it may be referred to as a 'chassis socket' (specifically, when mounte don a piece of equipment) A 'fiche' is the cable-mounted connector 'plug' that mates with a 'prise'. The confusion arises when you have a cable-mounted socket — e.g. on an extension lead — where people sometimes seem to have difficulty making up their minds! Also, although sockets are often female and plugs are often male, there are times when it is the other way round, and again, people can't always seem to decide! |
