Type M
Type M has three large round contacts arranged in a triangular pattern. It is built for higher current loads than many other household socket types. You will find it in parts of southern Africa and in some regions of South Asia, usually in 220 to 240 volt systems.
Recommended one-country adapters
- A compact, country‑specific adapter that converts your home plug to the local socket is often the simplest solution. It is small, lightweight and ideal if you are only visiting one destination. It also tends to sit more securely in the socket than many bulky universal adapters, reducing the chance of loose or interrupted charging.
