In America, the Type A socket is used, also known as the American socket or the Type A plug. The American socket has two flat pins and does not have a grounding pin. It is the standard socket type used in the United States and parts of Central and South America.

If you travel to America, you will need a plug adapter to safely connect your electronic devices with another type of plug, such as the European Type C, to American sockets. A plug adapter ensures that the pins of your plug fit into the American socket.

It is important to note that the electrical voltage in America is generally 110-120 volts, whereas in many other countries the voltage is 220-240 volts. Therefore, also check the voltage requirements of your electronic devices before connecting them to an American socket. You may need a voltage converter to ensure that your devices can operate safely on the American power supply.
