suicide pin

A film/video lighting term.

From Set Lighting Technician's Handbook, by Harry C. Box:
A suicide pin is a male-to-male Mole pin adapter. It gets it name from the fact that, when the adapter is plugged in, it exposes a hot pin. Obviously, you should never leave a bare suicide pin plugged into a live wire. Suicide pins are used to reverse the direction of the connectors on the grounding wire or to make a feeder loop.
