Traditionally connectors are referred to by a gender to aid identification, the male and the female.</p><h2>Plug or male</h2><p>The plug or the male part of the connector housing usually contain the contacts. The contacts or pins are solid protruding pieces of metal that electrical conductors are attached to.</p><h2>Socket or female</h2><p>The socket or the female part of the connector housing contain hollow metal contacts.
