The spacing and the diameters of the prongs are roughly identical to that of the European type C connectors, so they are technically compatible with each other, and because this connecter is more compact and has thinner cables, they are often used for small consumer electronics as an unearthed power connector. The wall sockets used in South Korea are type F, which has two round prongs and grounds on the top and the bottom inner sides of the socket. This is an old question but I will post an answer for the information. What is this SE plug, and what is the real difference with the C plug? I also couldn't find any mention of an SE adapter in English, but it is interesting to note that searching for "SE plug type" leads to C plug type related pages.Įventually I trusted the label and went with an SE adapter, and I suppose it will work fine. Check for instance this SE adapter and this C adapter from the same brand.īased on the pictures, it seems like the SE adapter has slightly thicker prongs than the C plug. It doesn't seem like "SE" is another name for "C" depending on the brand, since many brands seem to have both "C" and "SE" adapters. However, when I went to buy the adapter, there seems to be another type called SE, which is marked for use in "Korea, France, Netherlands, Germany, etc.", while the C type is marked for use in Italy and other countries I can't remember now, but notably omitted South Korea. I've been to France and South Korea before, and it indeed seems that they both use the same plug. Searching online, all points that South Korea uses the same plug as Europe, which is type C. I live in Japan, which uses plugs A and B for mains connectors, and I will be going to South Korea, so I decided to buy a plug adapter for my electronics.
