📖 Plugs & Voltage Guide

Two checks before shipping electronics abroad

Selling a 220V appliance into the 120V US market — or a Type-G plug into a Type-F Germany — invites returns and hazardous reviews. Confirm before shipping: the destination voltage and frequency (US 120V/60Hz, Korea 220V/60Hz, Brazil mixed 127/220V), and the plug standard (A/B, C/F, G, I …). Universal 100–240V power supplies avoid the problem entirely.

This reference covers 50 major markets. The EU is uniformly 230V/50Hz with C/F plugs, but the UK, Ireland and Malta use Type G; Japan uniquely runs 100V with 50Hz in the east and 60Hz in the west.

Plug safety certifications

Each market enforces its own plug certification: UL/ETL (US), CE with EN plug standards (EU), BS 1363 (UK), PSE (Japan), KC (Korea). "Physically fits" is not compliance — German 4.8 mm pins vs French 4.0 mm pins cause overheating if mixed. Sourcing certified cords per destination is far cheaper than a recall.
