You started a new thread when you mentioned English Females. The part that
was confusing was the reference to electricity, but I guess romantic people
have many ways to describe these things

No, 3 phase is 415V here and I have not had a phase-to-phase shock from it.
And from your continued presence, I guess that you have never had a shock
from those 14kV power lines that you mention. If you can remember back, I
was just pointing out that one likely reason that you guys don't see the
point in sleeved pin power plugs is that 120V doesn't really hurt that much
on your finger, but you might appreciate the importance more when your
finger slips across the pins of a 240V plug.

120 VAC can kill just as well as 240 if the resulting current flows
through your heart, and we do have a lot of 240 VAC circuits.
The 480 VAC is per phase. Three phase is available at a lot of
different voltages. 480 VAC three phase is very common on large motors.
I have been shocked by 480 VAC powered equipment with bad insulation and
an open safety ground. I was lucky. A lot of others have died in
similar situations.
I have been close enough to the 14 KV lines to have the hair on my
arms stand up. Any closer and I would have been dead.

If you were really Free you would be allowed to install sockets that
didn't hide live parts behind an insulating plate. i.e. the contacts
and terminations and wiring (uninsulated of course) would be easily
touched. That would give breeders a good opportunity to display their
skills.

You guys. I'm glad I didn't get into hermaphrodite types.
What do you call a connector that has an external (insulated) pin but
with a socket inside the pin? It would mate with a recessed pin
surrounded by plastic with an oversized hole. I'd call the first part
female, because the electrical part is made that way, but I'm not sure
all would agree. Not hermaphrodite (I'd reserve that term for
constructions such as tuning fork style contacts that engage at right
angles).

Don't forget GR connectors.

I was perplexed about the reference to women though.

Not sure what Mike was on about. 'Connectors' is the subject, n'est-ce

Yeah, 874's, which would (unnaturally) mate with a male banana in an
emergency. The 9000's never caught on, probably because of their cost
and their size, which led to moding issues.
APCs are still used, and are sexless. They're useful because the
mating plane is exactly defined and they can mate many, many times
without damage (randy buggers that they are.)
Pity the poor SMB; the plug is female, and the jack is male.

The part closest to the center defines the sex of a connector.

I have a few cables with GR 874 connectors.
I've never used any APC, but the concept is nice in that you don't
need piles of adapters on the bench for testing equipment.
I've used plenty of SMA, SMB, SMC and several other families of
subminiature coaxial connectors that I can't remeber at the moment. I'm
still recovering from oral surgery and a long term low level infection
and can remeber some things at the moment.
Have you ever used any "HN" connectors? There were some in a 1952
model RCA TV transmitter I moved and rebuilt.

I think the biggest hazard in household electrics is not electrocution but
fire, and that risk actually increases in lower-voltage circuits (given that
appliances have similar power consumption everywhere). And plugs that don't
fit well or are only partially inserted may have periliously high contact
resistance.
But we need statistics to tell.
