Hello,

In the USA they seem to use the NEMA connections.
In Europe they seem to use the IEC connections.

Wha tis it you want to know?

He wants to watch you stumble over yourself answering a nonsense question. Look at the other 20 threads he started.

All of the IEC connectors pictured are used in the US on devices. C5/6 is found on computer power supplies, C7/8 are also on power supplies as well as small appliances, C13/14 are on computer power supplies and monitors C15/16/19/20 are variously higher current connectors on things like rack power distribution.

No, USA uses NEMA for wall plugs and an odd-numbered IEC connector on the other end of the cord to the appliance.

 

The question is rather vague about what the TS actually is seeking to know.
For normal residential installations there are two basic types of 120 volt mains outlets, 15 amp rated and 20 amp rated. There are quite a few style variations within each type. Also there are GFCI equipped outlets, also in both 15 and 20 amp ratings. These are primarily 3-conductor types, with the extra ground pin provision.

So now really, what does the TS actually desire to know? These are the types that will probably pass an inspection for mains power connections. Other types are not generally accepted for residential applications.

 

There are so many Types of Outlets.
Standard Outlets Outlets that after You Plug something in the Outlet will Rotate to Lock the Plug in.

They have Outlets with 4. Prongs some has 3. Prongs but one of the Prongs is an "L" Shape.

But I did Find the Video on YouTube.

There are higher powered outlets and there are locking outlets and there are tamper-proof outlets, but those are not nearly as common.
The outlets with USB CHARGING ports are a special style that has a USB charger built into the outlet body.
They do not provide any USB connectivity, they are ONLY chargers.
Installing them is ike installing any outlet, EXCEPT that they will not fit many of the smaller electrical boxes found in a lot of slightly older construction.
The installation process is the same: Black wire to the "line" terminal and white wire to the neutral terminal, and the bare wire to the green screw terminal. That is best done with the mains power to that circuit switched off.

I do not recommend installing such because when the charger fails it will be much more expensive to replace, as well as much more labor.

Not applicable. The TS is asking about those wall outlets that provide USB charging points. I wonder if they reaize that they are ony chargers,not access points.
