A C-type socket, also known as a Europlug socket, is a common type of socket used in various countries in Europe. The C-type socket has two round prongs without a grounding option.

The C-type socket is designed for devices with a Europlug plug, 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-type socket does not provide a grounding option, 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 the use of both Europlug and Schuko plugs.

If you travel to a country where C-type sockets are used, it is handy to use a suitable travel adapter if you want to connect devices with other plug types. This way, you can safely and effortlessly use your electronic devices during your stay in countries with C-type sockets.
