 Sources of the above "Plug Adapter Country Chart" super table:

In order to provide the most comprehensive plug adapter selection guide, we've combined information from the following sources, with proper modifications, additions, corrections, etc. based on the best of our knowledge:

(1)  World Electric Guide and Electricity around the world

The database from these two sites are considered to be the most accurate and most up-to-date.  Fortunately, information from these two sites are extremely similar, if not identical.  After a long research, we've chosen to use

◘    Table of Electrical Systems used worldwide from World Electric Guide as the baseline of the above super table, and

◘    Plugs and sockets from Electricity around the world as the baseline of the next section on "Plugs and Socket Types".

(2)  International Electric Supplies and Travel Oasis

World Electric Guide from the former and International Wall Outlet Plug Adapter Guide from the latter also contain a very comprehensive plug adapter database linked to specific Wonpro plug adapters.  These two databases are identical.

However, it is our opinion that information from these two sites is a bit obsolete / incorrect. Nevertheless, we still include their information in the above super table - mostly in smaller green font (see more detailed explanation later).

(3)   Plug Adapter Country Chart-2007

This is the double-column table we used for the last 5 years.  The same information is now merged into Column 5 in the above super table, "Wonpro Universal Plug Adapters". 

In addition, "Wonpro Country-Specific Power Cords" has been added to Column 6 in this super table. 

·        Plug adapters in  Bigger Blue Font  are the first choices.  Those in  smaller burgundy font  are the secondary choices.

For example, there are many pairs of  "WA-9, WA-9C"  listed side by side for many countries in the above table; i.e.,

WA-9,  the Schuko plug adapter with 4.8mm pin size, is the recommended choice for this country (an exact match).

WA-9C,  the ungrounded and smaller EU plug adapter with 4.0mm pin size,  can also be used too (a little "loose connection").

·        Plug adapters in smaller green font are listed as still being used in many countries. 

This is based on information from several different sources on the internet. They seem to depict a very different world from what  World Electric Guide  presents here.  Based on our experience, however, we believe the info from World Electric Guide is more    up-to-date. For example,  WA-10  is widely reported (by the other camp) as still used in many countries. To be on the safe side, and to make our database the most comprehensive one, we decide to append  WA-10  and  a few similar plugs  to the end of the corresponding country's plug adapter list,  That is, we believe "More information is better than less information",  and we believe "Over-prepared" is a much lesser crime than "Under-prepared" when it comes to international traveling.

This approach effectively makes Wonpro's new Plug Adapter Country Chart  the most comprehensive and the most COMPLETE plug adapter database.

·        Both WA-16 and WA-17 can be used with Type I socket. For simplicity, only the grounded WA-16 is listed for Type I socket. The ungrounded WA-17 is implied, but not explicitly listed.

·        WA-6 is listed for Type A socket. WA-5 is listed for Type B socket.  They are two different plug adapters for two different socket types.

·        There is no WE-109C power cord. Although Type C plug (the EU plug) is very popular, Type C socket is being phased out.  Type C plug and its adapter WA-9C  is very popular because it can mate with socket Types E, F, J, K, and L across Europe and many other countries. Type C socket, on the other hand, is an older and ungrounded socket type,  Nowadays most countries demand grounded sockets to be installed in new buildings - Type C socket is being replaced by socket Type E / F / J / K / L (depending on the country).  Therefore, there is no ungrounded WE-109C power cord - For the same safety reason, all power strips should use grounded power cord!

·        Countries with both Type A and Type B outlets, WE-106 with "removable ground pin" is the ideal choice. 

·        US uses both Type A and Type B outlets. Since all US wall outlets are Type B, WE-105 is the choice of power cord for US.

·        Because of its small plug head,  WE-112 can be used with both recessed and non-recessed outlets in Italy.  That is, there are two types of plug adapter WA-12 and WA-12A,  but only one power cord WE-112.

·        The same is true for WE-111.  There are two types of plug adapters WA-11A and WA-11,  but only one power cord WE-111 for both recessed and non-recessed Switzerland sockets.

·        Please note that the information presented here is based on the best of our knowledge.  We, however, have no way to guarantee all information to be 100% accurate and up-to-date all the time - not only because this is a constantly changing world, but also because it is a real “jungle” out there!

Plug Adapter FAQ

Naming         “WA” stands for “Wonpro Adapter”. The suffix characters ‘A’, ‘B’, ‘C’ after the number are mostly based on our own production history. We tried, but there is no unified consistent meaning on how this suffix is used.

 

WA-9             This is the Schuko type grounded plug adapter - its grounding is the flat metal on the bottom and on the side. Half of the WA-9 plug adapter is to be buried inside the recessed outlet. It uses the larger pin size: 4.8mm, 4.8mm. Note that WA-9 is specifically designed to meet the requirements of both Type E and Type F outlets:

·               Type E outlet (ground contact at the bottom, for France)

·               Type F outlet (ground contact on the side, for Germany)

In other words, WA-9 is used in Germany, France, and their countries they occupied during the colonial time - i.e., WA-9 is used for most of the continental Europe.

 

WA-9A          Ungrounded, smaller pin size: 4.0mm, 4.0mm,  for non-recessed outlets.

 

WA-9B          Ungrounded, bigger  pin size: 4.8mm, 4.0mm,  for non-recessed outlets.

 

WA-9C          This is the new EU plug (European Union plug). It has the extra inlay plastic to connect to a recessed outlet.
The idea behind the EU plug is to use only the common parts among all types of European plugs so that it can be used everywhere in Europe. It does so by:

·               Remove the grounding pin (the most uncommon part)

·               Use the smaller 4.0mm pin size

As a result, WA-9C can be used in Italy, but with no grounding. Similarly, WA-9C can be used in Germany, but with no grounding and with a slightly loose connection (pin size is 4.0mm, not the Schuko 4.8mm). Note that due to the unique design of the UK outlet, however, WA-9C can NOT be used in UK.

 

WA-10L        South Africa uses both WA-10 and WA-10L. Our customers have told us that WA-10L is now more popularly used in South African.

 

WA-11          The flat Switzerland plug adapter for its non-recessed outlet.  WA-11 can not be used with its recessed outlet (too short).

WA-11A       The inlay Switzerland plug adapter for its recessed outlet.  WA-11A can be used with its non-recessed outlet, but with  slightly loose connection (smaller surface contact).
 

WA-12          The flat Italy plug adapter for its non-recessed outlet.  WA-11 can not be used with its recessed outlet (too short).

WA-12A       The inlay Italy plug adapter for its recessed outlet.  WA-11A can be used with its non-recessed outlet, but with slightly    loose connection (smaller surface contact).
 

WA-14          The Israel plug adapter with round pins. This is the new standards.

WA-15          The Israel plug adapter with flat pins. This is the old standards - still in use in many old buildings.
The latest and newest socket is a little "recessed" (only a few mm) and thus requires a small inlay to make connection.   We do have plans to design and produce a new model WA-14N to solve this new problem.  Until then, WA-9C is your best choice to connect with this new socket.  On the other hand, only a small number of them are in used today.
 

WA-16           The old style of grounded Australia/New Zealand/China plug adapter.

WA-16N        The new plug adapter required by Australia - WA-16A is exactly identical with WA-16 except its two power blades are "insulated" (half way covered by plastic) - as an extra safety protection to prevent accidental electrical shock, a design following the European standards.  Note that WA-16N can be used wherever WA-16 is used.

News Update: The Australia government is now enforcing this new standards!

 

WA-17           Ungrounded version of WA-16.

WA-17N        Ungrounded version of WA-16N.  Note that WA-17N can be used wherever WA-17 is used.

News Update: The Australia government is now enforcing this new standards!

WA-20          The latest and newest socket is a little "recessed" (only a few mm) and thus requires a small inlay to make connection.   We do have plans to design and produce a new model WA-20N to solve this new problem.  Until then, WA-9C is your best choice to connect with this new socket.  On the other hand, only a small number of them are in used today.

 

Plug & Socket Types

The Plugs and Socket Types information in the following section comes from two source:

         ◘   The Plug/Socket pictures and explanations are cut and pasted from Plugs and sockets  in  Electricity around the world

         ◘    The Where found and the brief note before it are cut and pasted from the Socket Type link in World Electric Guide

They are added here for convenience of the user. All credits should be attributed to authors of the above two wonderful websites.

TYPE A

(used in, among others, North and Central America and Japan)

This class II ungrounded plug with two flat parallel prongs is pretty much standard in most of North and Central America. At first glance, the Japanese plug and socket seem to be identical to this standard. However, the Japanese plug has two identical flat prongs, whereas the US plug has one prong which is slightly larger. Therefore it is no problem to use Japanese plugs in the US, but the opposite does not work often. Furthermore, Japanese standard wire sizes and the resulting current ratings are different than those used on the American continent.

Type A and B plugs have two flat prongs with a hole near the tip. These holes aren't there without a reason. If you were to take apart a type A or B socket and look at the contact wipers that the prongs slide into, you would find that in some cases they have have bumps on them. These bumps fit into the holes so that the outlet can grip the plug’s prongs more firmly. This prevents the plug from slipping out of the socket due to the weight of the plug and cord. It also improves the contact between the plug and the outlet. Some sockets, however, don't have those bumps but just two spring-action blades that grip the sides of the plug pin, in which case the holes aren't necessary.

There are also some special outlets which allow you to lock the cord into the socket, by putting rods through the holes. This way, for example vending machines cannot be unplugged. Moreover, electrical devices can be "factory-sealed" by the manufacturer using a plastic tie or a small padlock through one or both of the plug prong holes. For example, a manufacturer might apply a plastic band through the hole and attach it to a tag that says: "You must do X or Y before plugging in this device". The user cannot plug in the device without removing the tag, so the user is sure to see the tag.

Where found:

American Samoa, Anguilla, Antigua, Aruba, Bahamas, Bangladesh, Barbados, Bermuda, Bolivia, Brazil, Cambodia, Canada, Cayman Islands, China (without holes in blades and slightly shorter blades), Colombia, Costa Rica, Cuba, Ecuador, El Salvador, Guam, Guatemala, Guyana, Haiti, Honduras, Jamaica, Japan, Laos, Lebanon, Liberia, Maldives, Mexico, Micronesia, Montserrat, Netherlands Antilles, Nicaragua, Niger, Okinawa, Panama, Peru, Philippines, Puerto Rico, St. Vincent, Saudi Arabia, Tahiti, Taiwan, Thailand, United States, Venezuela, Vietnam, Virgin Islands (U.S.& British), Yemen.

NOTES ON TYPE A PLUGS/OUTLETS

In the U.S. & Canada, two-blade plugs are often polarized, with one blade larger than the other.  Most outlets are designed to handle these. The larger blade is the neutral side of the current.  This is a safety feature intended so the plug can be inserted one way only to reduce the chance of accidental shock.  If you try to plug a modern plug into an old-style receptacle for equal size blades, it won't go in unless you file down the larger blade to the older plug size.  Outside the US, many countries with Type A use the old style plug, and a newer US plug with unequal pins might pose a problem.  This can be bypassed using an adaptor (found in many travel kits) which converts the newer Type A plug to the older model with equal-sized blades.  Be aware, though, that you might also be bypassing the protection that polarization provides.

 

TYPE B

(used in, among others, North and Central America and Japan)

This is a class I plug with two flat parallel prongs and a grounding pin (American standard NEMA 5-15/Canadian standard CS22.2, n°42). It is rated at 15 amps and although this plug is also standard in Japan, it is less frequently used than in North America. Consequently, most appliances sold in Japan use a class II ungrounded plug. As is the case with the type A standard, the Japanese type B plugs and sockets are slightly different from their American counterparts.

An ungrounded version of the North American NEMA 5-15 plug is commonly used in Central America and parts of South America. It is therefore common for equipment users to simply cut off the grounding pin that the plug can be mated with a two-pole ungrounded socket.

Where found:

All of the above noted for Type A except Bangladesh, Bolivia, Cambodia, China, Dominican Republic, Korea, Liberia, Maldives, Peru, St. Vincent, Tahiti, Thailand, Vietnam, Yemen.
Also found in Azores, Belize, Trinidad and Tobago

TYPE C

(used in all countries of Europe except the United Kingdom, Ireland, Cyprus and Malta)

This two-wire plug is ungrounded and has two round prongs. It is popularly known as the europlug which is described in CEE 7/16. This is probably the single most widely used international plug. It will mate with any socket that accepts 4.0-4.8 mm round contacts on 19 mm centres. The plug is generally limited for use in class II applications that require 2.5 amps or less. It is, of course, unpolarised. It is commonly used in all countries of Europe except the United Kingdom and Ireland. It is also used in various parts of the developing world. Whereas type C plugs are very commonly used, this is not the case for type C sockets. This kind of socket is the older and ungrounded variant of socket types E, F, J, K and L. Nowadays most countries demand grounded sockets to be installed in new buildings. Since type C sockets are ungrounded, they are currently being phased out in many countries and replaced by type E, F, J, K or L (depending on the country). A type C plug fits perfectly into a type E, F, J, K or L socket.

NOTE: Type C plugs can also be used with E and F  and some L receptacles.  
This type of plug is very common in most "universal" adaptor sets.
(Though the diagram shows a circular plug, quite often Type C plugs have a rectangular form factor, as in the photo above.)

TYPE D

(used almost exclusively in India, Sri Lanka, Nepal and Namibia)

India has standardised on a plug which was originally defined in British Standard 546 (the standard in Great Britain before 1962). This plug has three large round pins in a triangular pattern. It is rated at 5 amps. Type M, which has larger pins and is rated at 15 amps, is used alongside type D for larger appliances in India, Sri Lanka, Nepal and Namibia. Some sockets can take both type M and type D plugs.

Although type D is now almost exclusively used in India, Sri Lanka, Nepal and Namibia, it can still occasionally be found in hotels and theatres in the UK and Ireland. It should be noted that tourists should not attempt to connect anything to a BS546 round-pin outlet found in the UK or Ireland as it is likely to be on a circuit that has a special purpose: e.g. for providing direct current (DC) or for plugging in lamps that are controlled by a light switch or a dimmer.

TYPE E

(primarily used in France, Belgium, Poland, Slovakia, the Czech Republic, Tunisia and Morocco)

France, Belgium and some other countries have standardised on a socket which is different from the CEE 7/4 socket (type F) that is standard in Germany and other continental European countries. The reason for incompatibility is that grounding in the E socket is accomplished with a round male pin permanently mounted in the socket. The plug itself is similar to C except that it is round and has the addition of a female contact to accept the grounding pin in the socket. In order to bridge the differences between sockets E and F, the CEE 7/7 plug was developed: it has grounding clips on both sides to mate with the type F socket and a female contact to accept the grounding pin of the type E socket. The original type E plug, which does not have grounding clips, is no longer used, although very rarely it can still be found on some older appliances. Note that the CEE 7/7 plug is polarised when used with a type E outlet. The plug is rated at 16 amps. Above that, equipment must either be wired permanently to the mains or connected via another higher power connector such as the IEC 309 system. A type C plug fits perfectly into a type E socket.

NOTE: Type E receptacles will also accept Type C plugs.
Type E plugs will also work in Type F receptacles.

Where found:

Belgium, Burkina Faso, Burundi, Cameroon, Canary Islands, Central African Republic, Chad, Comoros, Congo, Cote d'Ivoire (Ivory Coast), Czech Republic, Djibouti, El Salvador, Equatorial Guinea, France, French Guiana, Greece, Guadeloupe, Ireland, Indonesia, Italy, Laos, Latvia, Lithuania, Madagascar, Mali, Martinique, Monaco, Morocco, Niger, Poland, St. Vincent, Senegal, Slovakia, Syria, Tahiti, Tunisia.

TYPE F

(used in, among others, Germany, Austria, the Netherlands, Sweden, Norway, Finland, Portugal, Spain and Eastern Europe)

Plug F, known as CEE 7/4 and commonly called "Schuko plug", is similar to C except that it is round and has the addition of two grounding clips on the side of the plug. It has two 4.8 mm round contacts on 19 mm centres. Because the CEE 7/4 plug can be inserted in either direction into the receptacle, the Schuko connection system is unpolarised (i.e. line and neutral are connected at random). It is used in applications up to 16 amps. Above that, equipment must either be wired permanently to the mains or connected via another higher power connector such as the IEC 309 system. In order to bridge the differences between sockets E and F, the CEE 7/7 plug was developed. This plug, which is shown above, has grounding clips on both sides to mate with the type F socket and a female contact to accept the grounding pin of the type E socket. The original type F plug, which does not have this female contact, is still available at the DIY shops but only in a rewireable version. A type C plug fits perfectly into a type F socket.

The Soviet Republics use a standard plug and socket defined in Russian Standard Gost 7396 which is similar to the Schuko standard. Contacts are also on 19 mm centres, but the diameter of this contact is 4.0 mm compared to 4.8 mm which is standard in Continental Europe. It is possible to mate Russian plugs with Schuko outlets, but Russian sockets will not allow to connect type E and F plugs as the outlets have smaller hole diameters than the pins of those two plugs mentioned. Many official standards in Eastern Europe are virtually identical to the Schuko standard. Furthermore, one of the protocols governing the reunification of Germany provided that the DIN and VDE standards would prevail without exception. The former East Germany was required to confirm to the Schuko standard. It appears that most if not all of the Eastern European countries generally use the Schuko standard internally but, until recently, they exported appliances to the Soviet Union with the Soviet standard plug installed. Because the volumes of appliance exports to the Soviet Union were large, the Soviet plug has found its way into use in Eastern Europe as well.

NOTE: Type F receptacles will also accept Type C and E plugs.
This is formally known as a "Schukostecker" plug, commonly abbreviated as "Schuko."

Algeria, American Samoa, Aruba, Austria, Azores, Balearic Islands, Bosnia, Bulgaria, Cape Verde, Chad, Croatia, El Salvador, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Guinea, Hungary, Iceland, Indonesia, Italy, Jordan, Korea, Laos, Luxembourg, Madeira, Monaco, Montenegro, Mozambique, Myanmar, Netherlands, Netherlands Antilles, Niger, Norway, Portugal, Romania, Serbia, Suriname, Sweden, Turkey, Uruguay.

TYPE G

(mainly used in the United Kingdom, Ireland, Cyprus, Malta, Malaysia, Singapore and Hong Kong)

This plug has three rectangular prongs that form a triangle. British Standard BS 1363 requires use of a three-wire grounded and fused plug for all connections to the power mains (including class II, two-wire appliances). British power outlets incorporate shutters on line and neutral contacts to prevent someone from pushing a foreign object into the socket.

The British domestic electrical system uses a ring circuit in the building which is rated for 32 amps (6 amps for lighting circuits which are usually spurs). Moreover, there is also a fusing in the plug; a cartridge fuse, usually of 3 amps for small appliances like radios etc. and 13 amps for heavy duty appliances such as heaters. Almost everywhere else in the world a spur main system is used. In this system each wall socket, or group of sockets, has a fuse at the main switchboard whereas the plug has none. So if you take some foreign appliance to the UK, you can use an adaptor, but technically it must incorporate the correct value fuse. Most would have a 13 amps one, too big for the computer for example. BS 1363 was published in 1962 and since that time it has gradually replaced the earlier standard plugs and sockets (type D) (BS 546).

Where found:

Bahrain, Bangladesh, Belize, Botswana, Brunei, Cameroon, Channel Islands, China, Cyprus, Dominica, El Salvador, Gambia, Ghana, Gibraltar, Grenada, Guatemala, Guyana, Hong Kong, Iraq, Ireland, Isle of Man, Jordan, Kenya, Kuwait, Lebanon, Macau, Malawi, Malaysia, Maldives, Malta, Mauritius, Myanmar, Nigeria, Oman, Qatar, St. Kitts-Nevis, St. Lucia, St. Vincent, Saudi Arabia, Seychelles, Sierra Leone, Singapore, Tanzania, Uganda, United Arab Emirates, United Kingdom, Vietnam, Yemen, Zambia, Zimbabwe.

TYPE H

(used exclusively in Israel)

This plug, defined in SI 32, is unique to Israel. It has two flat prongs like the type B plug, but they form a V-shape rather than being parallel like B plugs. Type H plugs have got a grounding pin as well and are rated at 16 amps. Type H sockets are so shaped as to accommodate type C plugs as well. The slots for the non-grounded prongs have widenings in the middle specifically to allow type C prongs to fit in.

Where found:

Gaza, Israel

TYPE I

(mainly used in Australia, New Zealand, Papua New Guinea and Argentina)

This plug has also a grounding pin and two flat prongs forming a V-shape. There is an ungrounded version of this plug as well, with only two flat V-shaped prongs. Although the above plug looks very similar to the one used in Israel (type H), both plugs are not compatible. Australia’s standard plug/socket system is described in SAA document AS 3112 and is used in applications up to 10 amps. A plug/socket configuration with rating at 15 amps (ground pin is wider: 8 mm instead of 6.35 mm) is also available. A standard 10 amp plug will fit into a 15 amp outlet, but a 15 amp plug only fits this special 15 amp socket. There is also a 20 amp plug whose prongs are wider still. A lower-amperage plug will always fit into a higher-amperage outlet but not vice versa. Although there are slight differences, the Australian plug mates with the socket used in the People's Republic of China (mainland China).

Where found:

American Samoa, Argentina*, Australia, China, El Salvador, Fiji, Guatemala, Kiribati, Nauru, New Zealand, Okinawa, Panama, Papua New Guinea, St. Vincent, Tajikistan, Tonga, Uruguay* .

* In Argentina and Uruguay, the neutral and active wires are reversed from what is used in other countries.  Click here for more.

TYPE J

(used almost exclusively in Switzerland and Liechtenstein)

Switzerland has its own standard which is described in SEC 1011. This plug is similar to C, except that it has the addition of a grounding pin. This connector system is rated for use in applications up to 10 amps. Above 10 amps, equipment must be either wired permanently to the electrical supply system with appropriate branch circuit protection or connected to the mains with an appropriate high power industrial connector.

Where found:

El Salvador, Ethiopia, Liechtenstein, Madagascar, Maldives, Rwanda, Switzerland

TYPE K

(used almost exclusively in Denmark and Greenland)

The Danish standard is described in Afsnit 107-2-D1. The plug is similar to F except that it has a grounding pin instead of grounding clips. The Danish socket will also accept either the CEE 7/4 or CEE 7/7 plugs: however, there is no grounding connection with these plugs because a male ground pin is required on the plug. The correct plug must be used in Denmark for safety reasons. A variation of this plug intended for use only on surge protected computer circuits has been introduced. The current rating on both plugs is 10 amps. A type C plug fits perfectly into a type K socket.

Where found:

Bangladesh, Denmark, Faeroe Islands, Greenland, Guinea, Madagascar, Maldives, St. Vincent, Senegal, Tunisia.

TYPE L

(used almost exclusively in Italy and randomly found throughout North Africa)

The Italian grounded plug/socket standard, CEI 23-16/VII, includes two styles rated at 10 and 16 amps. They differ in terms of contact diameter and spacing, and are therefore incompatible with each other. The plugs are similar to C except that they are earthed by means of a centre grounding pin. Because they can be inserted in either direction at random, they are unpolarised. A type C plug fits perfectly into a type L socket.

Where found:

Chile, Cuba, El Salvador, Ethiopia, Italy, Maldives, Syria, Tunisia, Uruguay.

TYPE M

(used almost exclusively in South Africa, Swaziland and Lesotho)

This plug resembles the Indian type D plug, but its pins are much larger. Type M is rated at 15 amps. Although type D is standard in India, Sri Lanka, Nepal and Namibia, type M is also used for larger appliances. Some sockets over there can take both type M and type D plugs.

This plug resembles the Type D plug, but its pins are much larger.

Where found:

Hong Kong, Mozambique, South Africa, Swaziland.
