Termium : hot wire = fil chargé
Le fil est rouge parce qu'il est commuté ( norme ).

: Generally speaking, the 'common' is the ground wire, not the hot one; and of course, it's 'conducteur' rather than 'connecteur' ;-) / Oui, mais le texte source parle de 'wire'

conducteur de ligne commuté
conducteur de phase commuté (en CA)
conducteur sous tension en service normal et capable de participer au transport ou à la distribution de l'énergie électrique, mais qui n'est ni un conducteur de neutre ni un conducteur de point milieu

conducteur alimentation après-contact
'hot' means 'live', i.e. in an auto context, usually +12 V
'switched' means it is only powered when the ignition is turned on.
Here is a previous FR > EN KudoZ talking about the same idea:

Do note that the 'switched' here is not just any old switched, but quite specificaly 'swicthed by the ignition'.
