What is Europlug?
The Europlug is a flat, two-pole domestic AC power plug that is generally supplied moulded on the end of an appliance's flex or a power cord, designed for voltages up to 250 V and currents up to 2.5 A.[1] It was designed such that it can safely be used in the domestic power sockets of all European countries, except for the BS 1363 system found in Britain, Cyprus, Gibraltar, Ireland and Malta.
History
The Europlug design appeared first in 1963 as Standard Sheet XVI in the second edition of CEE Publication 7, a document that summarized all the national domestic AC plugs and sockets used across Europe. The Europlug is therefore sometimes also referred to as the "CEE 7/16" plug. It was also adopted in 1975 as plug C5 in IEC Technical Report 83 (now IEC/TR 60083), and as European standard EN 50075 in July 1990.
