plug and socket configuration

Plug and socket configurations refer to the designs and standards used for electrical connections in various countries. A plug is a device with prongs that connects to a socket, which is wired into the wall or appliance. Different regions have distinct shapes, sizes, and arrangements for these connectors to ensure safety and compatibility. For example, the U.S. uses Type A and B plugs, while the UK utilizes Type G. Understanding these configurations is essential for traveling or using electrical devices internationally, as mismatched plugs and sockets can prevent devices from being powered.
