A cool guide Types of plugs in the world

Upvote for Type-F

The last one is a typo.

Type K looks the happiest.

The plug design from my country looks elegant and rational, all the rest are koo-koo-krazy-town.

Why would they invented a plugs that's not grounded? (Type A and C)

I fucking hate it because my country's default plugs is type C. Caused me so much trouble in damaged electronics, shocked, and the effort to make a grounded line for each individual electronics myself.

Thankfully Tom Scott can tell us which one is best:

Can I point out the UK BS1363 (type G) plug is the only one you can use to open a bottle of beer.

I'm not sure what that says about the UK.

The Chad Type-G.

Not the kind of plug I was hoping for

But why male models?

What we really need is a USB-C-style reversible plug with data and variable voltage where neutral and phase never reverse and earth is always there.

Lacking that, I vote for Type N because it's small, polarised, and the pins are halfway-insulated. I don't like that the frame is symmetrical, so in the dark, the only way to tell which way to plug in is to feel the pins and the holes, same as USB-A. I reject all that hurt to step on.

Type B seen some shit, and it is probably Type-I's fault. Regardless, I want whatever life strategy Type-K's figured out.

I wish the entire world would use type G. It's the objectively superior socket for so many reasons. I hate type B so much

G is the best, we have a working ground pin and make a good flail

Schuko Type C/F (compatible with E) is the best, hands down.

Why are there so many that lay flat with prongs up????

Type B: °⌓°

If you view them as a sequence of faces, it’s a decent representation of robotripping

Where's the weirs tri-pin 240V one for US?

Cant we all just agree that IEC 60309 is the superior plug for obvious reasons.

One day it will all be USB-X

Type A 😶

Type B 😦

Type K 😁

Why couldn’t they look like their corresponding letter

Voltage and a pin out would be cooler

Type D and M been smoking some shit

Type G is UK and we have the best plugs in the world. Go watch any videos on YouTube discussing all the safety features. Work of art they are.

They misspelled typo

This has got to be only the most common plugs around the world.

I’m only familiar with US standards but this doesn’t seem to cover our other plugs for higher voltages.

Remember, all sockets are Type C if you push hard enough.

Edit: this advice applies equally to USB.

Type B has definitely seen some shit. And type K stands for kute I'd guess?

Did some travel recently and was exposed to some new plugs after using type A/B all my life. Big fan of type G, hated E/F.

I've never known any of these to be identified by letters. Where I am in North America, I tend to refer to receptacles by their NEMA code.

Type I best. I don't have anything to back that up but also it does stay in pretty good and it's my one so yeah

Type B should be Type O. Looks so Negative.

I sometimes wonder if other parts of the world label their local specification as Type A.

I was really hoping this was about electricity and I'm not disappointed.

You can definitely see who named these.

Would it be possible to put a fuse inside type F (schuko) and C (europlug) plugs like they do with the G (british) plug?

I think you've got a typo in your graphic

Type J needs least space, is secure and fully compatible to type C. Don't see why you'd need something else.

type N supremacy

You're missing Type 0 Negative

Type 🅱️ gang

Type G masterrace represent! The UK may have shit food, shit weather, shit people, shit politicians, shit culture and a shit economy but at least we've got good plugs...
