English term or phrase: earth pin
har sett två olika svenska texter för samma produkt,
i den ena står jordspik, i den andra jordspett
måste väl vara jordspett..?
ex.:
attach the black cable crocodile clip to the earth pin.
el. circuit is completed by connecting to the ground via the earth pin.

jordstift
Explanation:
Det kan bero lite på sammanhanget, men "earth pin" används vanligtvis om stickkontakter och då kan "jordstift" passa bra. Förklaring av vad jordspett innebär finns annars här: http://sv.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jordspett
