Schuko
Schuko () or type F, is a connector (plug/socket) system used in much (but not all) of Europe. It is a registered trademark referring to a system of AC power plugs and sockets that is defined as " CEE7/3" (sockets) and "CEE7/4" (plugs). A Schuko plug features two round pins of diameter ( long, centres apart) for the line and neutral contacts, plus two flat contact areas on the top and bottom side of the plug for protective earth (ground). The socket (which is often, in error, also referred to as CEE7/4) has a predominantly circular recess which is deep with two symmetrical round apertures and two earthing clips on the sides of the socket positioned to ensure that the earth is always engaged before live pin contact is made. Schuko plugs and sockets are symmetric AC connectors. They can be mated in two ways, therefore line can be connected to either pin of the appliance plug. As with most types of European sockets, Schuko sockets can accept Europlugs. Schuko plugs are considere ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
GOST 7396
GOST 7396 (' in Cyrillic) is a series of Soviet and later Russian standards that adopt International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) standards IEC 60083:1975 and IEC 60884-2-1:1987 and specify basic dimensions and safety requirements for power plugs and sockets used in Russia and other Post-Soviet states, former Soviet Republics, as well as for export to markets that use American or British plugs. Many official standards in Eastern Europe are virtually identical to the Schuko standard. One of the protocols governing the German reunification process required that the DIN and VDE e.V. standards would prevail without exception, so the former East Germany had to conform to the Schuko standard. Most other Eastern European countries use the Schuko standard internally. However, before its collapse, they exported large volumes of appliances to the Soviet Union with the Soviet standard plug installed. Because of that, many of the Russian plugs found their way into different Eastern Europea ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
IEC 60906-1
IEC 60906-1 (IEC designation "Type N") is an international standard designed "to provide a standard for a safe, compact and practical 16 A 250 V AC system of plugs and socket-outlets that could be accepted by many countries as their national standard, even if not in the near future." The standard was originally published by the International Electrotechnical Commission in 1986; the current edition is ed2.0 published in 2009. Although it is almost identical to the Swiss SN 441011 T12 plug for 10 A 250 V a.c. standardized in 1937, its dimensions are slightly different and its polarization is flipped. (If the IEC 60906-1 socket has the protective/earth conductor at the top, the live conductor is on the right and the neutral one is on the left.) , only South Africa and Paraguay have introduced standards based closely on IEC 60906-1, and only in South Africa the installation of sockets of this type has become mandatory. Brazil used it as the basis for its NBR 1413 ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
CEE 7/7
AC power plugs and sockets connect devices to mains electricity to supply them with electrical power. A plug is the connector attached to an electrically operated device, often via a cable. A socket (also known as a receptacle or outlet) is fixed in place, often on the internal walls of buildings, and is connected to an Alternating current, AC electrical circuit. Inserting ("plugging in") the plug into the socket allows the device to draw power from this circuit. Plugs and wall-mounted sockets for portable appliances became available in the 1880s, to replace connections to light sockets. A proliferation of types were subsequently developed for both convenience and protection from electrical injury. Electrical plugs and sockets differ from one another in voltage and electric current, current rating, shape, size, and connector type. Different standard systems of plugs and sockets are used around the world, and many obsolete socket types are still found in older buildings. Coordi ...

CEE 7/4
Schuko () or type F, is a connector (plug/socket) system used in much (but not all) of Europe. It is a registered trademark referring to a system of AC power plugs and sockets that is defined as "IECEE/CEE, CEE7/3" (sockets) and "CEE7/4" (plugs). A Schuko plug features two round pins of diameter ( long, centres apart) for the line and neutral contacts, plus two flat contact areas on the top and bottom side of the plug for protective earth (ground (electricity), ground). The socket (which is often, in error, also referred to as CEE7/4) has a predominantly circular recess which is deep with two symmetrical round apertures and two earthing clips on the sides of the socket positioned to ensure that the earth is always engaged before live pin contact is made. Schuko plugs and sockets are symmetric AC connectors. They can be mated in two ways, therefore line can be connected to either pin of the appliance plug.

Bauhaus (company)
Bauhaus AG is a German pan-European retail chain offering products for home improvement, gardening, and workshop. The name contains the German words ''bauen'' (to build) and ''Haus'' (house), but also alludes to the modernist Bauhaus school and the company's founder and owner, the German billionaire Heinz-Georg Baus. Its first store opened in Mannheim, West Germany in 1960. Bauhaus has a total of 280 franchised stores, with more than 150 of them located in Germany. It also operates in other 19 European countries, including Austria, Bulgaria, Czech Republic, Croatia, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Hungary, Iceland, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Norway, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and Turkey. History The company was founded by Heinz-Georg Baus in 1960 based on the American model and was the first DIY store in Germany.500 Millionen Euro für neue Straßen.' ORF.at 12.

BS 1363
Plugs and sockets for electrical appliances not hardwired to mains electricity originated in the United Kingdom in the 1870s and were initially two-pin designs. These were usually sold as a mating pair, but gradually de facto and then official standards arose to enable the interchange of compatible devices. British standards have proliferated throughout large parts of the former British Empire. BS 1363, ''13 A plugs socket-outlets adaptors and connection units'' is a British Standards, British Standard which specifies the most common type of single-phase AC power plugs and sockets that are used in the United Kingdom. Distinctive characteristics of the system are shutters on the neutral and (see below) socket holes, and a fuse in the plug. It has been adopted in many former British Empire, British colonies and British protectorate, protectorates. BS 1363 was introduced in 1947 as one of the new standards for electrical wiring in the United Kingdom used for Worl ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
