Type K Electrical Plugs: Primarily Used in Denmark and Greenland

Usage: Primarily found in Denmark and Greenland.

Features:

• Unique design: Three-pronged plug with a U-shaped grounding pin on the plug itself, unlike similar type E which has the pin in the socket.
• Technical specifications:
  • Round line and neutral pins: 4.8 mm diameter, 19 mm length, 19 mm center-to-center spacing.
  • U-shaped grounding pin: 14 mm length, 4 mm thickness, 6.5 mm diameter.
  • Rated for 16 amps.
• Compatibility:
  • Compatible with:
    • Type C plugs (perfectly fits)
  • Limited compatibility:
    • Type E and F plugs (fit physically but lack grounding due to missing male grounding pin on the plug).
  • Future outlook:Danish government allows installation of type E or F sockets, potentially leading to their gradual replacement of type K sockets in the long run.
