Electrical Plug Types - CSV
Electrical plug types are standardized by the IEC (International Electrotechnical Commission) and national standards. There are 15 plug types from Type A to Type N, each with different shapes, voltage/current specifications, and applicable countries. The difference in plug types is an important consideration for international travel and electrical product import/export. Major types include Type A/B for North America and Japan, Type C/F for Europe, Type G for the UK, Type I for Australasia and China, Type L for Italy, and Type N for Brazil and South Africa.
