Yes, a 5-15P can be connected to a 5-20R (but not the other way around). If it is an L5-20R, then no. Be sure to use the correct gauge wiring when adding a 5-20R as it is for up to 20 amps; you cannot use the same gauge that is normally used for 5-15R (15 amps).

Q: Can a 5-15p plug be used in a 5-20p socket. I have bought new equipment that uses 5-20p. If I rewire to support it will the socket be able to be used with 5-15 plugs or will it be only for 5-20?

What size socket do you use on a 2002 Saturn vue for the oil filter housing?

It takes a very short 22mm socket. I actually bought a cheap socket and cut about 5/16" off of it, this is much cheaper than the $25 for the specialty socket.


What is PAC 418?

Socket PAC418 is a 418 pin microprocessor socket designed to interface an Intel Itanium processor to the rest of the computer (usually via the motherboard). It provides both an electrical interface as well as physical support. This socket is designed to support a microprocessor module.

How do you rewire the console in the doctor who adventure games?

Using your mouse, you need to drag the wires from the current position onto the socket of the same colour (e.g. green to green, red to red). If you make a mistake, release the wire and it will retract to the original position. If you make a mistake with the wire positioning, click and drag it out of the socket and it will retract.


What are the functions of a CPU slot?

CPU slot(s) and/or socket(s)The type of CPU slot or socket determines which processors the motherboard can use. The most popular CPU connectors are Socket 370 (late-model Intel Pentium III and Celeron processors), Socket A (AMD Athlon and Duron), Socket 478 (current Celeron and Pentium 4), Socket 423 (old-style Pentium 4), Slot 1 (old-style Pentium II/III and Celeron), Slot A (older-style Athlon), and the obsolete Socket 7 (Intel Pentium and AMD K6-* processors). Some motherboards have two or more CPU connectors, allowing them to support multiple processors. A few motherboards have both Slot 1 and Socket 370 connectors, allowing them to support either type of CPU (but not both at once).There are three versions of Socket 370, which differ in pinouts and which processors they support. Early Socket 370/PPGA motherboards support only older Mendocino-core Celeron processors. Later Socket 370/FC-PGA motherboards support Coppermine-core Pentium III FC-PGA processors and Coppermine128-core Celeron FC-PGA processors. The final Socket 370 motherboards, which Intel refers to as "Universal" models, support any Socket 370 processor, including Tualatin-core Pentium III and Celeron processors. Although Socket 370 is now obsolescent, tens of millions of Socket 370 systems remain in use. When you upgrade such a system it is important to check the documentation to determine which Socket 370 variant that system uses.
