Type O
Type O is a three pin socket with round contacts and a dedicated grounding pin. It is a newer national standard used in mainland Southeast Asia and is designed for 230 volt systems at 50 hertz. Its layout is distinct from other round pin socket types, even if it may look similar at first glance.
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.
