UK plug
Three-pronged power connector
A UK plug is the distinctive three-pronged electrical plug used in Britain and some former colonies.
The rectangular pins—two horizontal for live and neutral, one vertical for earth—connect to outlets with built-in switches.
UK plugs are bulkier than most international designs but include safety features like fused connections and insulated pins: I need an adapter for my UK plug.
