Adattatore
Un dispositivo a cavo o a blocco con estremità diverse che consente la connessione di dispositivi diversi.
AC
Corrente alternata; Corrente elettrica che sale da zero a un massimo in una direzione, scende a zero per poi risalire al massimo nella direzione opposta, e poi ripete un altro ciclo.
Amperaggio
Ampere/Ampere/Portata/Amperaggio nominale -misurazione della portata di energia elettrica. Se pensi in termini di acqua attraverso un tubo, l'amperaggio sarebbe una misura del volume d'acqua che scorre attraverso il tubo.
AWG
Calibro di filo americano; standard measuring gauge for non-ferrous conductors (i.e., non-iron and nonsteal). Lower gauge numbers indicate larger conductor size.
Cavo
A cable is a set of wires, usually encased in an outer protective jacket. A “cord” would be a cable by this definition so far, but a cable is part of a permanent installation; a cord is more flexible and often has a plug end for a portable appliance or lamp
Cable Harness
A string of cables and /or wires which transmit informational signals or operating currents (energy). The cables are bound together by clamps, cable ties, cable lacing, sleeves, electrical tape, conduit, a weave of extruded string, or a combination thereof.
CE
Conformite Europeene; A European standard of safety. The CE marking on end products indicates compliance with all applicable directives.
Conductor
The internal material of a cord that conducts electricity. Copper is the most common material used for electrical wiring. Silver is the best conductor, but is expensive. Because it does not corrode, gold is used for high-quality surface-to-surface contacts.
