Socket types (IEC 60906-1)

A/B — US, Canada, Japan; C — Europe (2 round pins); D/M — India; E — France; F (Schuko) — Germany, Russia; G — UK; I — Australia, China-like; N — Brazil.

Voltage by region

230 V 50 Hz — Europe, CIS, Asia, Africa, Australia; 120 V 60 Hz — North/Central America; 100 V — Japan; 127/220 V — Brazil.

Adapters vs converters

Adapters do not convert voltage. Devices with 100–240 V PSUs need only adapters; 120 V appliances need transformers at 230 V.
