plug in

Join electrical supply

To plug in is to connect an electrical device to a power source by inserting its plug into an outlet: Don't forget to plug in your phone.

Extended to any connection that provides power or function: plug in your headphones.

Figuratively, to plug in means to engage or become involved: I need to plug in to what's happening at work.
