Overview socket types / country connections

14 socket types are used worldwide, from type A to type N. The socket types differ in their shape and size, the contact pins and aspects such as protective contact or mechanical plug-in fuse. Different sockets are used in specific regions and countries. Which country has which connection or socket? The plug types M and N are missing in the graphic above. Type M is only rarely used in old devices in Great Britain and South Africa (replaced by type G). Type-N should become the international standard, but this has not (yet) become established. Type F (CEE 7/4) and Type C (CEE 7/16) are used in Germany. Type-C is also known as the Euro plug, as almost all European sockets can accept the plug. Only the United Kingdom and Ireland are exceptions.

Bachmann sockets / multiple sockets with country-specific connections

The different socket types of the countries or country-specific connections can be integrated into almost all Bachmann sockets and table connection panels (such as Bachmann Step, Desk, Casia, Conference, Power Frame, Coni). One country connection is possible for each socket strip. When ordered, the country connections are installed individually by Bachmann in the connection panels. By default, the connections are turned slightly for better usability (see the following list for exact degrees), but they can also be installed straight if required. Bachmann installs connections in almost all countries, a precise list and representation of the connections is provided in the following overview. Only the power connections for the USA have to be considered separately, as they require special certification. On customer request with a firmly defined purchase quantity, this is also possible!
