FAQ
A plug is a component attached to your device. For example, a plug can have a male connector with pins that match the openings of a socket, also known as the female contacts. Once the merge of these 2 connectors occurs, an electrical current is generated.
A switch is a device that is used to connect or disconnect the electrical current between your electrical path and your main electrical circuit. There are many different types of switches which makes it imperative to hire an electrician that knows which application to use in different situations. Some of them have different configurations and multiple sets of contacts which increases the chance of improper connections.
