receptacle for/on the equipment
This is a place to plug in a plug for electrical power. It is either on the device in question, so that auxiliary devices may be plugged in, or (more likely) the receptacle that the device itself is plugged into, according to context. It takes a special 5-prong plug. That is no doubt why it is called a device receptacle, or a receptacle for the equipment, instead of just an ordinary receptacle.

5-pin courtesy outlet
Definitely "pin" in US-English. "courtesy outlet" is a term I keep coming across with all kinds of equipment (I usually translate from English into German).

5-pin unit connector
'pin' is UK English, (not 'pole').
'unit' would cover most situations, and again is common in UK English.
Ref. (e.g.) Routledge.

outlet for 5-pronged plug, or 5-pronged outlet
Plugs with 5 prongs are used for 3-phase power with distributed neutral and ground. This would be something used with rather high power consumption (starting from a couple of kW). There are also plugs on audio equipment which have 5 holes or 5 pins, in which I would put receptable for 5-pin connector.
