The outlet in the wall where you plug in electrical devices — what most people call a 'plug' or 'socket.'
A contact device installed in an outlet box for the connection of an attachment plug. Standard residential receptacles are 15A/125V or 20A/125V; commercial and industrial applications may use 250V, 30A, or higher-rated receptacles. GFCI, AFCI, tamper-resistant, and weather-resistant receptacles address specific safety requirements.
All 125-volt receptacles in the childcare facility were required to be tamper-resistant per NEC 406.12.
