Type H (SI 32) is found only in Israel and the Palestinian territories. The original version had three flat pins arranged like the letter Y; since 1989 the pins are round, which is why modern sockets also accept Europlugs. Many sockets in Israel are combined with type C, so small chargers from continental Europe work without an adapter. Grounded Schuko plugs (type F) do not fit.
What it looks like
Three round pins 4.5 mm thick: two 19 mm apart and an earth pin above them in the middle; older plugs have flat pins in a Y shape.
The drawings are schematic – they show the pin layout, not the exact dimensions of the standard.
A type H plug also fits
Only sockets of its own type – elsewhere you need an adapter.
