male connector
Insert into socket
A male connector is a plug or fitting with protruding pins, prongs, or parts designed to insert into a corresponding female connector.
The terminology follows the anatomical metaphor: the male part enters the female receptacle.
Common examples include electrical plugs, USB cables, and audio jacks.
Make sure the male connector is fully seated in the port.
