Globally, there are 15 unique types of electrical plugs and sockets, identified from Type A to Type N. These plugs differ in the configuration and number of their pins, as well as their grounding features. Some nations utilize several plug types, and older standards may still be in use alongside newer ones.
Here’s a summary of some of the most prevalent plug types and the countries where they are used:
Type A & B: Mainly found in North America, Central America, parts of South America, and Japan. Type B is grounded, while Type A is not.

Type D: Primarily seen in India, Nepal, and several African nations.
Type E & F: Widely utilized in Europe, Russia, and parts of Asia and Africa. Type F, also called "Schuko," features two round pins and grounding clips.

Note: These adapters do not convert voltage. They are intended for use with dual voltage or worldwide voltage devices that accept input voltages between 100-240V. If your device is not compatible with the voltage in the destination country, a suitable voltage converter may be necessary. Cell phone chargers, such as those for iPads, iPhones, and laptops, are dual voltage and compatible with this adapter.
