There are many configurations of plugs and receptacles. The reason for these different configurations is to prevent higher rated amperage devices being inserted into smaller size supplies. In North America there is a NEMA configuration standard that designate the different amperage's and voltages that are allowed to be used for specific purposes. A web search will bring up two specific charts for straight blade devices and twist lock devices.

A slotted socket is used for turning fasteners with a slotted head, such as flathead screws or bolts. The slotted opening in the socket matches the shape of the fastener head, allowing it to be securely gripped and turned.

A 36mm socket is equivalent to approximately a 1-7/16 inch socket in the Imperial measurement system.
The shoulder socket is deeper than the hip socket because the shoulder joint sacrifices stability for mobility. This design allows for a greater range of motion at the expense of stability. In contrast, the hip joint is designed for weight-bearing and stability, so it has a shallower socket to provide better support for the body.
