Type H Plug 3 pins
SI 32 (Israeli)
The Type H plug has three round prongs arranged in a triangle, is an earthed SI 32 design rated for 220-240 V at 50 Hz and typically 16 A. It is used mainly in Israel and Palestine.
What Does a Type H Plug Look Like?
The Type H plug has three round prongs arranged in a triangular pattern and is an earthed design (SI 32). It is rated for 220-240 V, 50 Hz and commonly 16 A. You can recognise it by the three round pins in a triangle rather than flat blades, making it visually distinct from Types A, G or I.
Where Is the Type H Plug Used?
Type H is used mainly in Israel and Palestine. It is the national standard there and not widely used elsewhere, so you will not commonly find it as a secondary socket in other countries. It is sometimes called the Israeli SI 32 plug and is used across both public and private buildings.
Which Plugs Fit a Type H Socket?
Type H sockets accept Type C plugs (Europlug). The visitor compatibility table shows that European plugs C, F and E and Indian plugs D and C can fit Type H sockets. Plugs from the US and Canada (A/B), the UK (G), Australia/New Zealand (I) and Japan (A/B) do not fit and need an adapter.
| Travelling from | Your plugs | Fits a Type H socket? |
|---|---|---|
| US & Canada | Type A/B | No, bring an adapter |
| UK & Ireland | Type G | No, bring an adapter |
| Europe | Type C/F/E | Yes, no adapter |
| Australia & NZ | Type I | No, bring an adapter |
| India | Type D/C | Yes, no adapter |
| Japan | Type A/B | No, bring an adapter |
Travel Adapters for Type H Sockets
Travellers from countries whose plugs do not fit will need a Type H adapter, particularly visitors from the US, Canada, the UK, Australia, New Zealand and Japan. European and some Indian plugs may work without an adapter. Use an earthed adapter for grounded appliances. Dual-voltage chargers handle 220-240 V with only an adapter; single-voltage appliances may require a voltage converter.
