Plugs and voltage
Will a plug from A go into a socket in B, and is the voltage the same?
- How to read a cell
- Whether a plug from country A goes into a wall socket in country B without an adapter. 'Some plugs fit' means only the named plug types do — usually the flat two-pin Europlug (type C). '110 V → 230 V' means the voltage differs too: phone and laptop chargers work on both, but a hair-dryer or kettle may not. “No data” means the source has no figure for that pair — the note in the cell says why; “not applicable” means the question does not arise for that pair.
- Reliability
- medium — there is no official list any more (the IEC retired its World Plugs guide in 2026); a country's plug types are those both Wikidata and Wikipedia list, which keeps the sockets a visitor actually meets and drops legacy and special-purpose ones; a plug 'fits' only where it goes in by design (the Europlug into most round-pin sockets, E and F into each other); 50/60 Hz not covered
- Answered
- 98 % of 39,402 directed cells have an answer; the rest say why not
- Second source
- 1 % of the cells (marked ≈) rest on a secondary source or an estimate because the main source has no figure — the note in each such cell names it; verify before relying on it

The table
Rows are country A, columns country B; the two-letter codes are the usual country codes (AM = Armenia, DE = Germany…). Hover a cell to see the full value and its note. A dash means “no” or “nothing recorded”; a striped cell means either “no data” (the source has no figure for this pair — the note says why) or “not applicable” (the question makes no sense for this pair, for example a sea route for two landlocked countries). “All regions” on both sides shows the whole table.
