Schuko

Schuko is a standard type of electrical outlet and plug used mainly in Germany and several other European countries. The name "Schuko" comes from the German words "Schutzkontakt," meaning "protective contact." The system features two round pins for live and neutral connections and metal clips on the sides for grounding, providing safety against electric shocks. It supports voltage levels around 230V and current up to 16A. Schuko outlets are designed to prevent accidental contact with live parts and ensure a secure connection, making them suitable for household appliances and devices requiring reliable electrical safety.
