Universal Grounded Travel Plug Adapter For Europe (Schuko Type E/F)

Type E is primarily used in France, Belgium, Poland, Slovakia, the Czech Republic, Tunisia and Morocco. France, Belgium and some other countries have standardized on a socket which is different from the CEE 7/4 socket (type F) that is standard in Germany and other continental European countries. The reason for incompatibility is that grounding in the E socket is accomplished with a round male pin, which is permanently mounted in the socket. This earth pin is 14 mm long and has a diameter of 4.8 mm.  The plug itself is similar to C except that it is round and has the addition of a female contact to accept the socket’s grounding pin. The plug has two 4.8 mm round pins, measuring 19 mm in length on centres spaced 19 mm apart. The centre-to-centre distance between the female contact and the middle of the imaginary line connecting the two power pins is 10 mm. In order to bridge the differences between sockets E and F, the CEE 7/7 plug was developed (see photo on the left): it has grounding
