Italian Power Cord Standards

Italian Electrical Plug, Flexible Cable, Sockets The standard power plug used in Italy uses power plugs and sockets of Type C, Type F, and Type L, operating at a standard voltage of 230V and a frequency of 50Hz, Italian earthed plugs and sockets are defined by the standard CEI 23-50 which superseded CEI 23-16. This includes two models rated at 10 A and 16 A that differ in contact diameter and spacing. Both are symmetrical, allowing the line and neutral contacts to be inserted in either direction. This plug is also commonly used in Chile and Uruguay.

Plug Types in Italy

  • Type C: Features two round pins. It fits almost all two- and three-hole sockets in Italy for small electronics.
  • Type F: Features two round pins with grounding clips on the sides.
  • Type L: Features three round pins in a single straight line. This is the most common grounded outlet in Italian homes and hotels. A standard two-pin Type C plug will fit into Type L sockets.

10A Plug

The 10 A plug has pins which are 4 mm in diameter, the centres spaced 19 mm apart. The 10 A socket can accept Europlugs.

16A Plug

The 16 A plug has pins which are 5 mm in diameter, the centres spaced 26 mm apart. The 16 A socket used to be referred to as per la forza motrice[48] (for electromotive force, see above) or sometimes (inappropriately) industrial

IEC 60320 Connectors

IEC 60320 power cables come in normal and high-temperature variants, as well as various rated currents. The connectors have slightly different shapes to ensure that it is not possible to substitute a cable with a lower temperature or current rating, but that it is possible to use an overrated cable. Cords also have different types of exterior jackets available to accommodate environmental variables such as moisture, temperature, oils, sunlight, flexibility, and heavy wear. For example, a heating appliance may come with a cord designed to withstand accidental contact with heated surfaces.
