![]() The centre-to-centre distance between the female contact and the middle of the imaginary line connecting the two power pins is 10 mm. ![]() The plug has two 4.8 mm round pins, measuring 19 mm in length on centres spaced 19 mm apart. The plug itself is similar to C except that it is round and has the addition of a female contact to accept the socket’s grounding pin. This grounding pin is 14 mm long and has a diameter of 4.8 mm. Old type F plugs did not have a grounding hole to accept the earth pin of the type E socket. The reason for the initial incompatibility was that grounding in the E socket is accomplished with a round male pin, which is permanently mounted in the socket. In the past, however, this wasn’t the case. ![]() Fortunately, type F plugs are fully compatible with type E sockets and the other way round. (Click here for the full list of all countries that use type E)įrance, Belgium and some other countries have standardized on a socket which is different from the CEE 7/4 socket ( type F) that is standard in Germany and other continental European countries. Type E is primarily used in France, Belgium, Poland, Slovakia, the Czech Republic, Tunisia and Morocco.
