An electrical plug assembly (14) including a plug housing (16) having a first set of pins (24, 26, 28) projecting from a first surface (30) and a second set of pins (32, 34, 36) projecting from an opposed second surface (38). The electrical plug assembly (14) also includes an enclosure (44) slideably attached to the plug housing (16). The enclosure (44) slides to expose one set of pins (24, 26, 28) while enclosing the other set of pins (32, 34, 36). The electrical plug assembly (14) further includes a hood (68) pivotally attached to the plug housing (16) and slideably attached to the enclosure (44). The hood (68) is rotatable from a first position (76) to a second position (78). As the hood (68) rotates, it slides the enclosure (44) from a first location (60) wherein the first set of pins (24, 26, 28) is exposed to a second location (62) wherein the second set of pins (32, 34, 36) is exposed. The first set of pins (24, 26, 28) conform to one technical standard, while the second set of pins (32, 34, 36) conform to another technical standard.
