As someone who travels a lot and has used all these sockets regularly, my vote is for Type G. The European ones seem like they would be the winner, but I've had trouble unplugging some devices. The recessed hole means some shitty cable designs don't have enough to grab on to to yank out. I can imagine some people with dexterity issues having a lot of problems.
The weird fucky version of type B they use in Thailand is missing. It's like the fucky version of the type L that's displayed except the fuckyness was added to a different base type.
Yeah, well, the North American plug is obviously the best. After all, we invent everything electric.
Ranked by happiness: Type K 🥇
Italy WTF man? Also fuck Type H!
the weird looking holes are just to make it compatible with two sizes of plugs, so really it's just the best wall socket
K is the happiest. I like that one. B is shocked (pun!) at what's going on. H is encouraging me to see things in a racist light.
B or N. They’re simple and effective, grounded but optionally, but most importantly you can fit two in a small space.
I can’t tell if N is polarized though, so B is the boss
B is upside-down in this picture.
Technology Connections has a whole youtube about how ground should be up so if you drop something and it hits the wire its not dangerous.
Because yes the connections do become live before you push them in the whole way.
Does Japan / type-A not have grounded circuits?
Schuko (Type F) of course. The British plug (Type G) is a truly worthy adversary.
How is type F different from type C?
C is mostly for low power devices
F is basically a heavy duty upgrade of C, it's got grounding on the side and can handle 16A (ovens, heaters etc.)
EU one as it is the most compatible. Its also smaller for travelling and is compatible with Brazil.
