Plug type by country

The plug on a power cord is decided by the market, not by the appliance. Find the socket standard for a country, then the part number that matches it — and where we do not mould that plug, we say so instead of quoting something that will not fit.

IEC 60320 cordset

The appliance end — pairs with any wall plug above

SP-3PC131450A

CH J

Switzerland

230 V · 50 Hz

Type J is not a moulded plug in our range — we quote to your drawing.

No moulded plug in the range

DK K

Denmark

230 V · 50 Hz

Type K socket. Schuko will not seat — not in our range, quote to drawing.

No moulded plug in the range

VN A / C / F

Vietnam

220 V · 50 Hz

Mixed stock: A and C dominate, F appears on newer installations.

SP-3PEUPC50A · SP-3PEULP50A

JP A / B

Japan

100 V · 50/60 Hz

Ungrounded two-pin dominates; 100 V, so the cord is rated but the appliance is not.

SP-3PUSPC50A

TH A / B / C

Thailand

230 V · 50 Hz

A/B plus C in newer buildings.

SP-3PUSPC50A

CL L / C

Chile

220 V · 50 Hz

Italian L geometry with reversed polarity — confirm on the drawing.

SP-3PITLP50A

BR N

127/220 V · 60 Hz

Type N (IEC 60906-1) — not in our moulded range.

No moulded plug in the range

AR I

Argentina

220 V · 50 Hz

IRAM 2073 uses the I geometry with line and neutral reversed.

230 V · 50 Hz

Type H — not in our range.

No moulded plug in the range

IN D / C

India

230 V · 50 Hz

Type D 5 A / 15 A. The 16 A Indian plug is the M geometry — ask, we quote it.

No moulded plug in the range

PK C / D

Pakistan

230 V · 50 Hz

Nepal

230 V · 50 Hz

M sockets accept the South Africa 16 A plug.

SP-3PSAPC50A

ZA M / N / C

South Africa

230 V · 50 Hz

M is the classic 16 A plug; N is the newer three-pin.

SP-3PSAPC50A

CN I / A / C

China

220 V · 50 Hz

I is standard; A/C still found in older buildings.

Quoting a cord for several markets? One appliance, six plugs — send the destination list and the appliance inlet, and we return one line per market with the mould, the length and the certification marks it needs.

Why the plug follows the market, not the appliance

The same kettle, monitor or power supply ships to six continents, and each market has its own socket geometry and its own approval marks: BS 1363 with a fused plug in the UK, CEE 7/7 across most of Europe, NEMA 5-15 in North America, AS/NZS 3112 in Australia, the 16 A round plug in South Africa, CEI 23-50 in Italy. A cord that fits one will not fit the next.

So a power cord is quoted like a part number: plug mould, cord length, conductor size and the certification the destination requires. Everything else on this site — the cable families, the reel lengths — is the same on every order; this is the one place where the destination changes the construction.

  • Fused plugs. BS 1363 plugs carry a fuse in the plug, so the fuse rating is part of the order for the UK market.
  • Voltage does not change the plug. Korea and Indonesia run on EU-shaped sockets; Japan uses the US shape at 100 V.
  • One hybrid covers two countries. CEE 7/7 seats in both German F and French E sockets — that is why one EU part number covers most of the continent.
  • Never file a Schuko to fit. Denmark, Switzerland and Italy need their own mould; the same applies to Brazil's N and Israel's H.
