Double Schuko socket with one plug inserted. The dot in the middle of the socket is a screw head, not a third hole.Illustration of the originally two Schuko plug and socket designs from the patent specification of patent DE567906 granted on 22 December 1932. The right-hand column shows the design that prevailed and is in use today.
Schuko (/ˈʃuːkoʊ/) is a plug/socket system used in much (but not all) of Europe and in many countries east of there. It is a registered trademark[1] referring to a system of AC power plugs and sockets that is defined as "CEE 7/3" (sockets) and "CEE 7/4" (plugs). A Schuko plug features two round pins of 4.8 mm diameter (19 mm long, centers 19 mm apart) for the line and neutral contacts, plus two flat contact areas on the top and bottom side of the plug for protective earth (ground). The socket (which is often, in error, also referred to as CEE 7/4) has a predominantly circular recess which is 17.5 mm deep with two symmetrical round apertures and two earthing clips on the sides of the socket positioned to ensure that the earth is always engaged before live pin contact is made. Schuko plugs and sockets are symmetric AC connectors. They can be mated in two ways, therefore line can be connected to either pin of the appliance plug. As with most types of European sockets, Schuko sockets can accept Europlugs. Schuko plugs are considered a very safe design when used with Schuko sockets, but they can also mate with other sockets to give an unsafe result.
Schuko is a shortening of the German term Schutzkontakt (literally: protective contact),[1] which indicates that plug and socket are equipped with protective-earth contacts (in the form of clips rather than pins). Schuko connectors are normally used on circuits with 230 V, 50 Hz, for currents up to 16 A, although e.g. South Korea uses them at 60 Hz for historical reasons.
