Hi,
Either that, or make protection schemes to save the day.
If you can't come up with a protection scheme that works, then you need
to move on to another connector. A crow-bar circuit and a diode for
reverse-bias and a fuse could probably form sufficient protection.
There is plenty of connectors around, and you can choose unconventional
use of them.
Cheers,
Magnus

I've been caught by that one.
Someone used 240V IEC inlets as convenient 10A DC inputs to an oven in an
ion trap. Fiddling around in the back of the racks, I made the inevitable
mistake and Poof! there went $1000 worth of isotopically separated Yb 171.
A few years later, someone else did the same thing.
So yes, follow conventions!

A really dumb idea was this guy, I heard this story secondhand. He used
A/C extension cords for speaker cables because they work well for that
purpose, but then someone plugged a speaker into a 120vac well outlet.
I
assume it made a load 60 Hz tone for a few cycles. Best to follow
industry conventions because that is what people expect.
CQ magazine had an article where they did something similar and used a
120V extension cord for low voltage - 12V solar panels or some such
project. Accidently plug the cord into 120V and you'd blow your panels and
radios up! I didn't renew my subscription after that one.
