How to distinguish between male and female connectors?

Male plugs have pins and female plugs have holes. For example, the TTU Intelligent Distribution Terminal - Heavy Duty Connector plug is called "male" and the TTU Intelligent Distribution Terminal - Heavy Duty Connector socket is called "female"!

-In the electronic and mechanical industries, connectors and other fasteners are often designed with male and female ends for ease of trade and manufacturing. Generally speaking, the female end is designed to receive and accept the male end. There are one or more protrusions, or can be inserted into other parts of a section known as the male end; in turn to receive, or have a notch is called the female end. So the name, it is directly along the male and female the 2 words (both Chinese and English). In the current flow from the female chassis to the male, the connector of the male and female can play a role in strengthening the security or to ensure the normal operation of the equipment. In addition, male and female connectors generally refer to the ends of a set of connectors or extension cords, also called positive and negative connectors. In electronic power connectors, the connector's male and female are determined according to some hard and fast regulations, and this is done mainly to emphasize the unidirectional flow. For example, when the current flows from one device to another, the male and female of the connector play a role in strengthening the safety or ensuring the normal operation of the equipment, preventing the occurrence of some unsafe factors or improper connection. In the mathematical theory, the power supply network consists of plugs (male) and sockets (female), and is fixed from the socket to the plug, corresponding to the connector, it is from the female end to the male end. Therefore, the female power socket is established for safety reasons!
