Types of sockets in the world<\/span><\/span><\/h2>\n

used in:<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/h3>\n

North and Central America, Japan<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

A Type A electrical plug (or flat blade plug) is an ungrounded plug with flat parallel pins.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Although the American and Japanese plugs look identical,<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

However, the neutral pin in the American plug is wider than the live pin.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

While both pins in the Japanese plug have the same size. as a result ,<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Japanese plugs can be used in the US but not the other way around.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The pins on Type A and Type B plugs have a hole near the end that fits into the “prongs” located on contact scanners in some sockets,<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

So that the pins are gripped more tightly allowing for better contact and also to prevent the plug from slipping out of the socket.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Some sockets have spring blades that grip the sides of the screws<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

, making the holes obsolete.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Type B<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n

\"\"used in:<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

North and Central America, Japan<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

A Type B electrical plug has two flat parallel pins and a round ground (or ground) pin.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The ground pin is longer than the other two so that the device is grounded before power is applied.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Same as with Type A plugs<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

, the US and Japanese versions differ slightly.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Type B plugs are rated at 15 amps.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Type C<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n

\"\"used in:<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Europe, excluding the United Kingdom, Ireland, Cyprus and Malta<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

A Type C electrical plug (or Europlug) is a two-wire plug that has two circular pins.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Fits any socket that accepts 4.0 – 4.8mm round contacts on 19mm centers.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

They are replaced with E, F, J, K or N sockets which work perfectly with Type C plugs.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Type C plugs are generally limited for use in devices that require 2.5 amps or less.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Type D<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n

\"\"used in:<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

India, Sri Lanka, Nepal, Namibia<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The Type D electrical plug has three large circular pins in a triangular pattern.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Type M plugs are often used in conjunction with Type D plugs for larger appliances and as a result,<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Some plugs work with both Type D and Type M plugs.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Type D plugs are rated 5 amps.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Type E.<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n

\"\"used in:<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

France, Belgium, Slovakia and Tunisia among others<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The Type E electrical plug has 4.8mm round pins spaced 19mm apart and a hole for the plug’s male grounding screw.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The E-type plug has a round shape and the E-type plug has a round recess.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Type E plugs are rated for 16 amps.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

note:<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The CEE 7\/7 plug was developed to work with Type E and Type F female sockets.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

(to accept the grounding pin of the E-type socket) and has grounding clips on both sides (to work with F-type sockets).<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Type F.<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n

\"\"used in:<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Germany, Austria and the Netherlands<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Spain, among other countries<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The F type electrical plug has<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

(also known as Schuko plug) on \u200b\u200b4.8mm round pins spaced 19mm apart.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

It is similar to the E-type socket but has two clips<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Two ground on the side instead of the female ground contact.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The CEE 7\/7 plug was developed to work with E sockets<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

F and has grounding clamps on both sides<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

(to work with F-type plugs) and a female connector (to accept the grounding pin of the E-type plug).<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Type F plugs are rated 16 amps.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Type G<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n

\"\"used in:<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

United Kingdom, Ireland, Cyprus,<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Malta, Malaysia, Singapore, Hong Kong<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The Type G electrical plug has three rectangular blades in a triangular pattern and has a built-in fuse<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

(Typically a 3 amp fuse for small appliances like computers and 13 amp fuse for heavy appliances like heaters).<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

British plugs have shutters on the live contacts and<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Neutral so that foreign objects cannot be introduced into it.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Type H.<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n

\"\"used in:<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Israel<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0Worse in performance<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The Type H plug is unique to Israel and has flat pins<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

V-shaped plus ground pin.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

However ,<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

It is currently being phased out in favor of a circular stabilizer version.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The holes in the sockets are of the type<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The H is wide in the middle to fit the bolted version of the H type plug as well as the C type plugs.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Type I<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n

\"\"used in:<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Australia, New Zealand,<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Papua New Guinea, Argentina<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The plug has a type<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

I on V-shaped flat pins plus a ground pin.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

There is also a plug-in version,<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Which contains only flat pins.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The Australian plug also works with plugs in China.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The delivery system is classified \/<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Australia standard 10 amp socket,<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

But there is also a plug\/configuration<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

15 amp rated socket,<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Although the ground pin is wider.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

A standard 10 amp plug will fit into a 15 amp socket but not the other way around.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

J type<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/span><\/p>\n

used in:<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Switzerland and Liechtenstein<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The J type plug has two circuit pins as well as a grounding pin.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Although the J type plug is very similar to the N type Brazilian plug<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

However, it is not compatible with the type socket<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

N as the ground pin is further from the center line than in the N type.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

However ,<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Type C plugs are fully compatible with Type J sockets.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Type J plugs are rated for 10 amps.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Type K.<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n

\"\"used in:<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Denmark and Greenland<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The plug has a type<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

K on the circular pins plus a ground pin.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

It is similar to type F, the difference is that type<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

F has grounding clips instead of grounding pin.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Type C plugs are fully compatible with Type F sockets<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

. Type E plugs and sockets are also used in Denmark.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

L type.<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n

\"\"Used in: Italy<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

There are two different types of L type plug<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

, one is rated at 10 amps and the other is rated at 16 amps.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The 10 amp version has round pins that are 4mm thick and spaced 5.5mm apart,<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

With grounding pin in the middle.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The 16 amp version has 5mm thick round pins,<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Spaced 8mm apart, plus a grounding pin.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

In Italy there is a type of “universal” socket. Which includes a socket<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

“schuko” For plugs C, E, F, L and \u201cbipasso\u201d socket For L and C sockets.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Type M.<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n

\"\"used in:<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

South Africa, Swaziland, Lesotho<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The M type plug has three round pins in a triangular pattern and looks similar to the D type Indian plug.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

, but his pins are much larger.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Type M plugs are sometimes used for larger devices in countries that use Type D plugs,<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

As well as in Israel (Type H)<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

. Therefore, plugs in these countries sometimes work with M type plugs.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

N type.<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n

\"\"Used in: Brazil<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

There are two different types of N-type components<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

, one is rated at 10 amps and the other is rated at 20 amps.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The 10 amp version has two 4mm round pins and a ground pin.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The 20 amp version, used for heavy appliances, has<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

On two 4.8mm diameter circular pins, and a ground pin.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The N-type socket is designed to work with C-type plugs as well.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Brazil is one of the few countries that uses two types of voltage.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

While most states use 127 volts,<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Some use 220 volts, so it’s important to know the local voltage before plugging in your device<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

(Note: Wrong voltage can destroy your device).<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Many devices sold in Brazil are dual voltage.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Type O<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n

\"\"Type O is used exclusively in Thailand.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The O-type socket and plug, rated at 16 amps, is the official standard in Thailand.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The plug system was designed in 2006, but its use has not become widespread yet.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

It is currently being implemented in phases. The standard is described in TIS 166-2549.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Type O consists of power pins and ground pins, which are circular and have a diameter of 4.8mm.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The power pins are 19mm long, have 10mm long insulated sleeves and are centered 19mm apart.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\"TypesDiscover the types of plugs in the world before you travel<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Your mobile phone, laptop and hair dryer fit in your bag without any problem,<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

But will it work when you reach your destination?<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Not all countries share the same type of ingredients.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

In Spain we use Type C, but there are 16 different models worldwide.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"Why don’t all countries use the same plug?<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The main reason why not all countries use the same type of ingredients is because<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Technological development is not globalized and it has not been reached<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Consensus for standardization between manufacturers and countries.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Looking back, the race to spread the use of electricity began in the late 19th\/early 20th century.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

But at that time, it was impossible to predict that the world would change so much<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

And we will travel around the world carrying electrical appliances.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Almost all electrical appliances, whether lamps; Radios.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Televisions or industrial machines were repaired.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Therefore, it was only necessary that the plug match the type of wall plug.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

No one imagined that in a few years we would be traveling with mobile phones<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Cameras, hair dryers, headphones, whatever comes next.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Therefore, each manufacturer initially chose a type of ingredient based on the most<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Types of components popular in the country where he was going to sell his electrical appliances.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The result is that nowadays there are 16 different types of plugs in the world.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

They each receive a letter naming them.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

We can find everything from Type A to Type N plugs.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

We will review all plug-in models in the world.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"Types of components in Spain and Europe<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

The type of plug you know best is the type<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

C or sometimes called \u201cEuro-plug\u201d.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

This is the type mainly used in<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Spain and most countries in Europe.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Type C consists of parallel circular pins while the wall plug has two<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Two holes where it is connected.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

What is colloquially known as male and female<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

, which is an expression we use for most cable connections.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"It is represented<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

One of the main advantages of the Type C socket is that due to its two-pin simplicity,<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

It is compatible with E, F and K two-slot types<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

J, K or N with three holes in the female.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"Before taking a trip or if you plan to import an electrical appliance from another country<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

, it is very important to know the types of plugs in the world.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

It’s the best way to be prepared when you see those weird pins<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Or those plugs that often remind us of an emoji.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

If you leave Europe<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The advice is to carry a universal adapter just in case.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"Type A\/B plug, American and Japanese plugs<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Both plug types A and B feature two parallel flat screws with a small hole.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

One pin in the plug is usually thicker than the other.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

These are the plugs you will find in the USA or Japan<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

You will need an adapter to be able to convert the cable from a plug type<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

C to this model using flat pins and wall holes.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The differences between models A and B are that the plug is of the type<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

B comes with a third rounded pin which is somewhat longer than the flat plug.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

This third pin is used to connect to ground once connected.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

If you travel to Japan or USA and find Type B wall plugs,<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

It is certain that in the first few days you will be reminded of the scared emoji face.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Other countries use it<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

If you travel a lot<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

, keep in mind that this type of A and B plug is also used in countries such as:<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Saudi Arabia, Belize, Bolivia<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

, Canada, Cambodia, Colombia, North Korea,<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

South Korea, Costa Rica, Cuba,<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Dominican Republic, Ecuador, El Salvador, Philippines, Guatemala and Guyana<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Honduras, Jamaica, Jordan, Laos, Malaysia, Maldives, Mexico, Nicaragua, Panama, Peru, Puerto Rico, Thailand, Taiwan, Venezuela, Vietnam and Yemen.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"Type G plug, UK plug<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

Although the most widespread model in Europe is Type C,<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

However the plug type from UK and Ireland is G.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The pin or male has three rectangular pins placed in a triangular or t-shaped position.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The third part of the pins of this type of plug acts as a ground<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The plug also has a fuse inside it.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Other countries use it<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Although it is the plug par excellence in the United Kingdom and Ireland, other countries have also adopted this model.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Almost all countries with close historical links to the British Empire, such as:<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Cyprus, Malta, Singapore, Gibraltar, Jordan, Malaysia, Maldives, Nigeria, Pakistan<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, Tanzania and the United Arab Emirates.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"Plug type D is the travel plug to India<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Type D plug is an adaptation of the UK plug,<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

But it changes the rectangular shape of the nails into a circular shape.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

It is reminiscent of the plug type in Spain with the addition of a third pin.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The third pin, which is higher than the other two and slightly longer and thicker, is used as the ground pin.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"Other countries use it<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

As with UK plugs<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

, Type D plugs are also used in other countries with strong relations with India,<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Such as Nepal and Sri Lanka.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Namibia also uses this plug model, with it being the only African country to use it as the main model.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"Type I plug, Australian and New Zealand plug<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

This model features three flat\/rectangular pins arranged in a V shape.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The purpose of the upper pin,<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Which is connected vertically, is the connection to the ground.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

This is the type of plug used in Australia, New Zealand and Papua New Guinea.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Other countries use it<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The first model is not the most applicable,<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

But it has an interesting dispersion on the map of world component types.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

It is also used in China, Uzbekistan, Argentina and Uruguay.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"Other sockets in the world<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

As you can see, the different types of plugs in the world have created a very diverse map of plugs and sockets all over the planet.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

However, even if you think this can’t be more complicated<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

We still have some models to go through.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Type E plugs<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/h4>\n

Round pins in parallel position and one hole above them.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Into this slot, a third pin found on the wall plug enters.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Used in: Morocco, Tunisia and Senegal.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

It is also found in some places in Europe such as France, Belgium, Poland and Slovakia.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

This is compatible with Type C plugs which if you remember, is the plug used in Spain and most of Europe.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Type F plugs<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/h4>\n

Very similar to the E type but with two grounding clips = two clips that insert into the wall plug pins.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

This is used in:<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

There is still a residual presence in several European countries, including Spain,<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

And in Jordan, South Korea, Indonesia, Thailand, Turkey, Uruguay and Vietnam.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

It is compatible with Type C mainly used in Spain.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"Type H sockets.<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n

Three pins form a triangle, this is very similar to the E type plug.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

This is only used in Israel. This is compatible with Type C used mainly in Spain.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

“In Spain, Type C is used almost without exception,<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

It is most common in Europe and is compatible with types E, F, H and K.”<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

J type plugs.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Like Type C but with the addition of a third rounded pin at the top.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

In Spain there are plug models, especially in table lamps and<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Small devices that are very similar to this model, but without the third pin.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

This is used in:<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Switzerland, Jordan, Liechtenstein, Madagascar and the Maldives.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"K type plugs.<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n

Two are circular and the third is semi-circular at the bottom to connect to the grounding of the wall plug.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

This is used in:<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Denmark, Guinea, Madagascar, Maldives and Senegal.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

This is also compatible with the Type C Spanish plug.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Type L. Plugs<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/h4>\n

This has three round pins placed in a line.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The middle pin corresponds to the grounding pin.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

This is used in:<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Parts of Italy, Chile, the Maldives and Uruguay. You will need an adapter.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Type M plugs<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/h4>\n

Its three pins also form a triangle and are round.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Two of them are parallel, while the one at the top is thicker and longer in length (grounding).<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

This is used in:<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

South Africa, India, Israel, Malaysia, Mozambique, Nepal, Pakistan and Singapore.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"Type N. Plugs<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n

This is one of the most curious plug-in models in the world.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

It was created in order to become a kind of global component to be implemented in all countries.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

A type of universal USB for electricity.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The result, so you get an idea of \u200b\u200bhow complex standardization is, is that only two countries use it.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The N plug type is similar to the C type, but has a third pin, ground, located in the middle of the two types and slightly higher.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

used in:<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Only in South Africa and parts of Brazil.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIf you’re traveling outside of Europe, you can have peace of mind by bringing a universal adapter that works in any of these plugs.\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Plug types and voltage<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/h4>\n

\"\"Despite all the types of plugs in the world we’ve just looked at, there’s another factor we need to consider when traveling.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Electrical voltage, measured in volts (V), is not the same everywhere in the world.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

In this case, fortunately we do not have that much variety.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The vast majority of countries supply electricity with a voltage between 220 and 240 volts.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

However, it is common for installations to have a voltage between 110 and 120 volts in the Americas.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Most transformers and plug adapters are now ready to handle both voltages.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

However ,<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

You should be extremely careful when connecting devices designed for 110V<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

If you connect them to 220V networks and the physical device is not adapted.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
