Color Coding and Ground Positions

Pin and Sleeve devices are color coded to provide positive voltage and frequency matching and external key-ways ensure correct alignment of contact pins. The position of the ground pin relative to the socket's key-way are designated as a clock hour position.

The ground terminal also has a larger diameter than the contacts, making it impossible to install in an IEC 60309 device with a different voltage rating.
