Types of Plugs

Are you planning to travel abroad? Check if you need a power plug adapter or voltage converter for the power sockets (outlets) used in that country. On this website you find information about the power plugs and sockets, electricity, voltage and frequency used in every country of the world. Select a country from the list on the right.

There are currently 15 types of electrical outlet plugs in use today, each of which has been assigned a letter by the US Department of Commerce International Trade Administration (ITA), starting with A and moving through the alphabet. These letters are completely arbitrary: they don’t actually mandate anything.
