because brass is generally tarnish resisant so it does not discolours easily and also because brass is not such expensive as copper
<<>>
The pins are make of brass because it is a harder metal than copper and will wear better through use over its lifetime.
The typical household plug is made from pins: brass reason: cheap, wear and corrosion resistant and a good conductor (not compared to gold/silver/plat/copper) process: forging/casting (not sure) housing: ABS or PVC reason: cheap, easy to colour, corrosion resistant, easy to clean, hard wearing made process: injection molding.
Depends if it is a cap or a plug or no hub or a brass /lead plug
Its done with a fame or torch, you heat the copper to a almost cherry red glow, (caution, you don't want it red, if it just starts to glow, "stop" that where you just annealed copper. but the more you shape it after your annealing process it will harden up again, not due to cooling but due to your shaping it
This plug is a pin and sleeve 250 volt three phase four wire device. It is rated at 100 amps. A #3 copper conductor with an insulation factor of 90 degrees C is rated at 130 amps.
Different pin configurations define different configurations of voltage and amperage. Your receptacle could be a three phase four wire grounding receptacle. To see more go to related linksbelow.
The plug in pins on most processors are made of gold plated aluminum.

Brass is used for the manufacture of plug pins for the following reasons. It is a good electrical conductor and is cheaper than other materials such as copper. It is a hard alloy material, therefore it is very wear resistant and will not wear or mark easily. Furthermore, Brass is corosion resistant and will not tarnish easily. Brass is also stiff and therefore will not bend easily when inserted in to the socket.
Well, if it has 2 male pins, then it is a EU (European) plug. If it has 3 male pins, it is a UK plug.
Copper is a very conductive metal and also ductile.
Metal is used for the pins of an electric plug because it is a good conductor of electricity, allowing for efficient flow of electrical current between the plug and the socket. Metal is also durable and provides good mechanical strength to withstand frequent use.
Not normally, the pins are in a different configuration.
The plug type used in Japan is Type A, which has two flat parallel pins. This is different from the plug type used in the US, which is Type A or Type B, with two flat parallel pins or two flat parallel pins and a round grounding pin, respectively.
Steel or brass freeze plugs are the best ones,rubber freeze plugs are just for temporary
A plug with 3 pins which can be inserted into the original UK plug.
Plastic does not conduct electricity.
There are three wires-the live wire, which is red or brown, the neutral wire, which is blue, and the earthing wire, which is yellow or green. The live wire has high voltage, and supplies electricity. The earthing wire brings the electricity safely to the ground in case of an electrical fault. There is also a fuse, which in case of a huge surge of power would melt, breaking the circuit and preventing an accident.
