A C-socket, also known as a Europlug socket, is a common type of socket used in various countries in Europe. The C-socket has two round pins without grounding capabilities.
The C-socket is designed for devices with a Europlug, which also has two round pins. These sockets are suitable for light portable devices such as phone chargers, laptops, shavers, and other electronic devices with low power requirements.
It is important to note that the C-socket does not offer grounding capabilities, so devices with a grounding pin cannot be directly connected to this type of socket. However, in some countries, there are hybrid sockets available with both C- and E-type connections, allowing both Europlug and Schuko plugs to be used.
If you are traveling to a country where C-sockets are used, it is useful to use a suitable travel adapter if you wish to connect devices with other plug types. This way, you can safely and seamlessly use your electronic devices during your stay in countries with C-sockets.
