No countries or territories match your search.

Check before you connect. Plug types, voltage and frequency shown are for normal domestic supplies. Hotels, older buildings and some territories may have other socket types. Confidence shows how well each entry is supported: Verified entries were confirmed from an authoritative source such as the IEC, a national standard, regulator or utility; Corroborated entries are supported by two independent technical sources; entries marked Check local rules show the best-known values and should be confirmed locally.

Plug types A to O. Know the shape.

Simplified front views of each plug, looking at the pins. Earth contacts are shown in orange. Select a type to filter the country list.

Earth pin, clip or socket earth hole · drawings are schematic and not to scale

Travelling from the UK? Adapter or converter.

UK sockets are Type G at 230 V, 50 Hz. Choose where you are going to see what your UK plugs and appliances need.

Plugs, voltage and frequency. Explained.

A plug adapter changes the shape, not the supply. These three ideas cover almost every question about using equipment abroad. For the conductors behind the socket, see wiring colour codes by country and how each country earths its supply; to size a converter, work out the load with the single-phase power calculator.

Why there are so many plug types

Countries electrified at different times and each wrote its own standard, so plug shapes grew up separately. The letters A to N are a simple naming system used to tell the families apart; they are not part of the standards themselves.

Some types are related. Type B is an earthed Type A, Type M is a larger Type D, and the two-pin Europlug (Type C) fits most round-pin sockets. A socket can also be built to take more than one type, so a country listing several letters does not always mean several kinds of outlet in every building.

An adapter only changes the shape. It does nothing to the voltage, and a plug that has an earth pin may lose its earth connection if the adapter or socket has none.

Voltage and frequency are different things

Voltage is the electrical pressure the supply provides. Most of the world uses 220–240 V; North America, much of Central America, Japan and a few others use 100–127 V. Plugging a 230 V-only appliance into a 120 V supply usually leaves it weak or not working; plugging a 120 V-only appliance into 230 V can destroy it within seconds.

Frequency is how many times per second the alternating current changes direction: 50 Hz or 60 Hz. It mainly matters to things with motors, transformers or timers. A mains clock or a motor designed for 50 Hz runs faster and warmer on 60 Hz, and the other way round it may run slow or overheat.

Japan is unusual in having both: 50 Hz in the east and 60 Hz in the west. The three-phase figure (for example 400 V) is the voltage between phases on commercial and industrial supplies.

Why dual-voltage appliances matter

Check the rating plate or the charger brick. If it says something like INPUT 100–240 V ~ 50/60 Hz, the appliance adjusts itself and only needs a plug adapter anywhere in the world. Phone, tablet and laptop chargers, camera chargers and many shavers are made this way.

Heating appliances such as hair dryers, straighteners, kettles and travel irons are often single-voltage. On a lower-voltage supply they need a step-up converter (a transformer) rated well above the appliance’s wattage, or a dual-voltage travel model. A switch on the appliance marked 115/230 must be set correctly before it is plugged in.

For site and trade work, never rely on an adapter for power tools or a site transformer. Use equipment built and certified for the local supply.
