The Ultimate Guide to Worldwide Plugs & Sockets!

Don’t get to your destination and not be able to charge your gadgets. Maybe one day the whole world will agree on one socket/plug type and go with it, but until then get your adapters ready!

To make things easier, I will give you the list of what adapters you will need to bring if you were to say, go on a round the world trip, since so many are compatible. Here they are:

Type A


Type C


Type G


Type I


Type M


*It’s not a bad idea to carry a type D with you. I’ve ran into type D in Sri Lanka and Zanzibar (I have yet to visit India) and have found that many Type D sockets wouldn’t allow for me to insert the Type C prong into the socket… that is unless I took a pen and pressed down the third prong socket when inserting. I wouldn’t recommend this because I’d have to say this is definitely unsafe and I have just gotten lucky so far.

The following is a list of all plugs and sockets out there.
