Type H
The Israeli
"Looks permanently surprised. Exclusive to one region and proud of it."
Type H is used almost exclusively in Israel and Palestine. The original version had three flat pins in a Y shape. Since 1989 the pins have been round, and modern Type H sockets also accept Europlugs.
Things to know
- Europlug-friendly. If you have a Type C adapter, you're very likely fine.
- Grounded. The third pin sits below the other two, giving the socket that permanently surprised expression.
- Older flat-pin sockets still exist in some buildings. They're becoming rare.
Plugbert's verdict
Unique, a little startled-looking, very easy if you bring a Europlug.
