Are Italian plugs the same as European plugs? Is the European standard conversion plug universal?

I’m going to travel to Italy, and I bought a European-standard adapter plug. Can it be used in Italy?

Before traveling abroad, everyone must have checked the types of plugs and sockets used in Italy on the Internet, right?

Yes, the above is the Italian standard socket type, which consists of three round holes, the middle is the ground wire, and the upper and lower are the zero live wire.

The European standard socket is two round holes, and the grounding is the upper and lower copper sheets for grounding.

How to use the European standard conversion plug

When traveling to Europe, most people buy European standard conversion plugs, so can they be used in Italy?

Ningbo SW Electric Co., Ltd. has been producing electrical products for more than ten years. We will tell you with a professional attitude: European standard conversion plugs can be used in Italy.

But there will also be people who take the two cylindrical prong adapters and say that the prongs are too thick to be used in Italy at all.

Here, I would like to remind everyone: the German standard plug is the same as the European standard plug with two round pins, but the difference is that the diameter of the German standard pin is 4.8mm, and the European standard pin is 4.0mm (the slight difference is basically the same to the naked eye) . Therefore, if you buy a German standard plug similar to the European standard, it cannot be used in Europe, and the above-mentioned problem of too thick pins will also occur.
