International Plug & Socket Compatibility Guide

At IMFCMK, we want customers around the world to have a smooth and safe product experience.

Because electrical standards vary between countries, it is important to confirm the correct plug type and power requirements before purchasing or installing a product.

This guide explains common plug types and compatibility considerations for international customers.


Why Plug Compatibility Matters

Different regions use different:

  • Plug shapes

  • Socket standards

  • Voltage levels

  • Frequency requirements

Using an incorrect plug or incompatible power specification may affect product performance or safety.


Common International Plug Types

Type A

Common Regions:

United States, Canada, Japan, and parts of Asia

Description:

Two flat parallel pins.

Typical Voltage:

100–127V


Type B

Common Regions:

United States, Canada

Description:

Two flat pins with a grounding pin.

Typical Voltage:

100–127V


Type C

Common Regions:

Europe and many Asian countries

Description:

Two round pins, commonly known as the Europlug.

Typical Voltage:

220–240V


Type G

Common Regions:

United Kingdom, Ireland, Malaysia, Singapore

Description:

Three rectangular pins with grounding.

Typical Voltage:

220–250V


Type I

Common Regions:

Australia, New Zealand, China

Description:

Two or three angled flat pins depending on grounding requirements.

Typical Voltage:

220–240V


How to Check Your Product Compatibility

Before placing an order, please check:

  • Product voltage specification

  • Plug type

  • Frequency requirements

  • Installation instructions

Product specifications can usually be found on the product page or included product documentation.


Plug Adapter vs Voltage Converter

A plug adapter:

  • Changes the physical plug shape

  • Does not change electrical voltage

A voltage converter:

  • Changes voltage levels

  • May be required for some single-voltage products

Please confirm your product requirements before use.
