What are the dimensions of a US electrical plug socket?

A standard US electrical plug socket, known as Type A or Type B, typically has dimensions of about 1.5 inches (3.8 cm) in height and 1 inch (2.5 cm) in width. The receptacle openings are designed to accommodate flat blades of 0.5 inches (1.3 cm) for Type A and an additional round hole for the ground pin in Type B. The mounting depth of the box that houses the socket can vary, but it is generally around 2 to 3 inches (5 to 7.6 cm). These dimensions can slightly vary based on specific designs or brands.
