Plug Types

Plug types refer to the different designs of electrical plugs used globally to connect devices to power sources. Each country often has its own specific plug type, characterized by the shape, size, and configuration of the prongs. Common types include Type A (flat parallel blades) in North America, Type C (two round pins) in Europe, and Type G (three rectangular prongs) in the UK. Using the correct plug type is essential for safety and compatibility, and travelers often need adapters to connect their devices when visiting other countries.
