Plug Types by Country (A–N Guide)
There are 14 common plug types (A–O). North America and Japan use Type A/B; most of Europe uses Type C/E/F; the UK and much of the former British Empire use Type G.
The Europlug (Type C) is the most widely accepted — it physically fits Type E, F, J, K, L and N sockets.
Some shapes are isolated: the UK Type G, Australian Type I, and Swiss Type J fit only their own sockets.
