wander-plug
Does somebody have (printed) sources about the term wander-plug?

Google finds, who say it is a Part which is securely connected, or designed to be connected, to a power supply flexible cable.

This would be consistent with the word to wander, going around, meaning a plug for a flexible cable so that the device connected can be moved around.

This is compatible to the meaning given in dictionary.com, reading an electrical plug on the end of a flexible wire, for insertion into any of a number of sockets, while I think the second part of the sentence is very unspecific, to say it mildly.

I would like to add the term wander-plug as follows: Plug for a flexible cable, in particular for movable devices.

Consolidate with "Gender of connectors and fasteners" ?
Please take a look at the article "Gender of connectors and fasteners". There are some bits of info here that perhaps ought to be moved over and combined with that article.Reify-tech (talk) 06:30, 17 March 2011 (UTC)

Suggest merge
INstead of merging jack and plug, let's merge them both to Electrical connector. These are just definintions anyway and might as well be described in that article. --Wtshymanski (talk) 19:04, 23 January 2012 (UTC)
