The female receptacle (30) may have a screw-style plunger (42), a sleeve-style plunger (44) or other means for applying pressure against the sleeves holding the prongs that are plugged into the receptacle. The male plug (24, 26) can use a sleeve-style plunger (100) or other means to apply pressure against at least one of the prongs, causing the plug to be clamped into a receptacle.
