You would think the directions on the packaging would be clear.
No problem with the ground.
I now have two wires: white (neutral) and black (hot).
And those wires map to
I'm going to assume that I am staring at a female socket. I'm going to call the two horizontal slots "A" and "B". So .... which one is hot and which one is neutral?

Well, I've screwed that all up.
I wired something that looked like 220v connector. It turned out to actually be a 30 amp 125v connector. Green to green, black to black, white to white - no problem. After it is all together, I notice that it says right on it "30a 125v". That isn't gonna do me a lick of good.
I bought two more connectors. They are definitely 220. As I am getting ready to wire them up, there is no green wire. In reading through the bits of paper ... it sounds like these plugs expect there to be no ground. Is that right? One neutral and two hots?
If that's the case, is my 6-15R just not gonna connect to that? I'm guessing that the green is ground on this, right?
