What kind of adapter does European tourism need?

1, French: This socket is characterized by two round holes and a metal cylinder. The two round holes are power sockets, and the cylinder is a grounding connecting column, which is equivalent to the pin of the vertex of our isosceles triangle on the three hole socket. The corresponding plug is a round hole at the vertex of an equilateral triangle. There is no special two-hole socket in this country. The double-hole plug can be inserted into the circular hole of the circular socket. Countries that use this socket include France, Belgium, Luxembourg, Czech Republic and Denmark.

2. Swiss style: There are two kinds of sockets in Switzerland, which are equivalent to three hole socket and two-hole sockets in China. Swiss three hole socket is of the same type as Spanish. The Swiss double-hole socket is very special. It is a flat hexagon with triangular ends. The Swiss socket has a slightly thinner round jack. Generally, there is no problem in plugging in the plug. If it is a little thicker, it will not be plugged in.

3. Spanish style: This socket is grounded through two groups of metal plates on the edge of the socket ring, and the metal plates are in contact with the metal contacts on the edge of the round plastic head of the plug. The two metal poles of this model are the same as those of the French model. There are many countries that use this socket, including Spain, Portugal, Italy, Greece, Albania, Macedonia, Austria and so on.

At present, most European countries support German standard adapter plugs, and only a few countries use British standard plugs, such as Ireland and Scotland. Switzerland is a Swiss-type adapter plug. If you travel to Switzerland, you need to buy a Swiss type adapter plug separately.

Extended data:

Converting plug-literally, it means converting one plug into another plug (such as telephone power plug, USB charging plug, computer power plug, universal power plug, etc.). More generally speaking, it refers to converting the power plug of different countries or countries into the power plug of another country or countries, and plugging the power plug of many countries or countries into the socket of another country. So that plugs from different countries can communicate with each other in different countries around the world, and the problem that electrical appliances from different countries around the world can be used in other countries is solved.
