Rarely used for AC connections as well.<br>To use this~~, ~~simply embed via <nowiki>{{DC Jack}}</nowiki>. Name~~ and ~~icon are subject to change in the future. This does not link anywhere as it may be used for both DC and AC connections.~~
	* {{Hard-Wired}} is used to denote units that are permanently attached to a power cord. Please note that this is a generic depiction and is not intended to denote any particular region.

	~~(RCA, 1/4" jacks, optical, digital coaxial, xlr)~~		* {{DC Jack}} - Discontinued because of unclear iconography and being superseded by the Center Negative/Positive icons. To be replaced with a glossary short-link.
	~~(MIDI, Serial, other USBs)~~		* {{USB Type-B}} - Discontinued because of unclear iconography, to be replaced with a glossary short-link depending on type.
	* {{~~USB Type-B~~}} ~~denotes~~ a ~~USB Type~~-~~B port. This does not~~ link ~~anywhere as it may be used as either for power delivery or only for data transmission~~.~~<br>To use this, simply embed via <nowiki>~~{{USB Type-B}}~~</nowiki>~~.		Other icons are also available but have no template associated with them. Unless necessary, it is discouraged to create templates for these icons.
