What is a Type O plug?
The type O plug, rated at 16 ampere, is one of the official standards in Thailand. The standard is described in TIS 166-2549 (incidentally, the last four digits refer to the Buddhist year 2549, which corresponds to the year 2006 in the Gregorian calendar).
Thailand Type O plug dimensions
Type O plug consists of two power pins and an earth pin, which are round and have a 4.8 mm diameter. The power pins measure 19 mm di lunghezza, they have 10 maniche isolanti lunghe mm, and their centers are spaced 19 mm di distanza. The earth pin has a length of 21.4 mm. La distanza da centro a centro tra il pin di messa a terra e il centro della linea immaginaria che collega i due pin di alimentazione è 11.9 mm, which is the same distance as in type B plugs.
Information on the Type O plug & presa
The type O socket hybrid version of this socket was designed to accommodate plug types A, B, C and O. In the long run, compatibility with American plugs is planned to be phased out, since the electrical network in Thailand operates at 230 V. For now, type O outlets only exist on paper. All sockets that are currently sold are hybrid ones, which are compatible with types plug types A, B, C, and O.
Although they look similar, type O plugs are not interchangeable with the Israeli type H or the Danish type K power plugs. Tuttavia, there is very unsafe compatibility between type O sockets and type E/F plugs, which is why in 2008, the Thai government banned the sale of appliances fitted with E/F plugs.
When used in Thailand, an E/F plug will not be grounded, and when such a plug is partially pulled out, you will be able to touch the prongs while they are still alive! Since many Thai people still have household appliances fitted with E/F plugs, a special plug adapter was introduced. It ensures that E/F plugs are earthed when plugged into a Thai hybrid outlet.
