The third grounding pin seems to be always round and with no taper in any sense. The socket I have here has a ground-pin recess that is a conflation of a semicircle and half a square in cross section . Equally solid, ie no springing action. Or is there a taper down the length of the ground pin recess that I cannot gauge . I expected a round pin with a tapered flat and a slot along the length of the pin to give some sprung gripping/ latitude for dimensional inconsistency.
While at it, are the holes in each flat pin , for anti-tugging latch pins ?
