Schuko plug

A Schuko plug is a type of electrical plug commonly used in Europe, known for its two round prongs and grounding clips on the sides. It connects appliances to power outlets, providing a secure connection with built-in safety features to prevent accidental shocks. Designed to handle higher currents, it’s widely used for household appliances like refrigerators and washing machines. The name “Schuko” comes from the German words “Schutzkontakt,” meaning “protective contact,” reflecting its emphasis on safety through grounding. This standardized design ensures compatibility with Schuko outlets across many European countries.
