Technical Details
Design: The Type B (NEMA 5-15) features 2 flat parallel pins + round ground pin. The grounding system provides additional safety for high-power appliances.

Compatibility: Always verify both the plug shape AND voltage compatibility before using adapters. A physical adapter does not convert voltage.
