Power plugs can generally be divided into 2-core power plugs, 3-core power plugs and multi-core power plugs.


2-core power plug: 2-core power plug, as its name implies, has two inserts or two pins. The specific insert or pin is different from each national standard. For example, China has two inserts and Europe has two round pins.


Three-core power plug: as the name implies, the three-core power plug has three inserts or three pins or two inserts or two pins plus a grounding hole. This structure is more complex than the 2-core power plug. There are great requirements for the size and diameter of the pin, and the length and the distance between the pins are considered.


Multi-core power plug: This multi-core power plug is more complex. According to the customer's requirements, what kind of 4-core power plug and 5-core power plug are used on each specific device should be considered according to the actual situation.
