German "shuko" socket (220-230VAC/50HZ) cee 7
GERMAN "SHUKO" SOCKET (220-230VAC/50Hz)
The standard, Class 1 grounded mains plug used in
Germany, Australia, the Netherlands, Sweden, Norway
and Finland is known as CEE 7/4 (also known as
"Shuko") It has two 4.8mm round contacts on 19mm
centres and two grounding clips on the sides of the
connector body. Because the CEE 7/4 plug can be
inserted in either direction into the receptacle, the
Shuko connection system is unpolarized (i.e. line and
neutral are connected at random).
