Atherel ,

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

olutukko ,

I like f and it also is compatible to c. not the least spacious though, just what I'm used to

Type A 😶

Type B 😦

Type K 😁

Type D and M been smoking some shit

Type M user here. Meh, it works

angrystego ,

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

erp ,

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

general_kitten ,

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

800 amps is almost enough to run Roblox at 23 fps

Can't plug it in with one hand. The cover needs an opening mechanism.

lightnegative ,

Imagine that on the end of your phone charger

general_kitten ,

Extra quick charging with 25kw of power

noobnarski ,

It is definetly the superior plug for everything outdoor and or higher power.

Its way too bulky for smaller devices.

Here in Germany we have type F and C, where C is used for low power devices and also fits into the F socket, but not the other way around.

So even the type F plug would be too big for smaller devices.

sarmale ,

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

Yamayo ,

You don't need a fuse with modern installations. Still, if needed, there are options that have it in the wall plug.

FiniteBanjo ,

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

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

What do you mean? A twist-lock

Something like this.

LowtierComputer ,

Nema 5-20? It's pretty much the exact same as 5-15.

Trev625 ,

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

epat ,

oh that? that is so you can learn a lesson

BambiDiego ,

Because when it's plugged in (as it usually is) it lays closer to the wall and needs less clearance.

Trev625 ,

Oh! That actually makes a ton of sense lol

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

Pulptastic ,

But why male models?

cynar ,

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.

barsoap ,

German here. I'm absolutely positive I could open a beer with any of those plugs. And half of the sockets.

cynar ,

A fair point, but ours is practically a bottle opener. A lot easier after a few previous bottles.
