"Type D" Electrical receptacle

Information for Type "D" Electrical Receptacle

This unique Type D plug carries the nick-name of Old British plug. It has a triangular pattern created by the placement of the 3-pins, which are round. This plug will be found in those areas that were originally powered by the British. This gem was the standard plug in the United Kingdom until the 1940s. You may still find a few around in South Africa, but for the most part they have been updated by the Type M outlet. The Type D plug is technically known as the BS 546; 5A/250Vearthed plug and receptacle.

ELECTRICAL OUTLET TYPE A

Information for Type "A" Electrical Receptacle

The "Type A" electrical receptacle is known as the American/Japanese 2-blade electrical adapter plug and electrical outlet. The Type A plug is designed using two flat blades (pins). You will find this outlet on the South American east coast in small numbers, being used on small electrical equipment that doesn't require any grounding. It is most readily found all over North America. This device is known as the NEMA 1-15; North American 15A/125V ungrounded Type A outlet.

ELECTRICAL OUTLET TYPE C

Information for Type "C" Electrical Receptacle

The "Type C" is a European 2-pin electrical outlet, generally referred to as theEuroplug. It is a 2-pinned unearthed plug that is found all over continental Europe, and some spots in the middle east, as well as much of South America, Africa, central Asia, and even in the old Soviet Republics. This Type C outlet is similar to another plug (CEE 7/17) which has pins that are a bit larger. However the Type C plug is known as CEE 7/16; Europlug 2.5A/250V unearthed outlet (CEE 7/16 or Type C plug is only to be used on those devices that call for 2.5A or less).

ELECTRICAL OUTLET TYPE E

Information for Type "E" Electrical Receptacle

This Type E plug plays very well with others. It is compatible with Type C and Type F devices because of the 2-pin round design where the pins are placed 19mm apart, making for their compatibility. The Type E is called the French 2-pin and is the standard device in France, Poland, Denmark, Belgium, and several other countries. It is not compatible with Type F plug that is standard in Netherlands, Germany and other continental European countries because of the placement of the grounding round male pin within the socket that grounds appliances. This Type E is technically known as the French CEE 7/5; 16A/250V earthed plug and receptacle.

ELECTRICAL OUTLET TYPE G

Information for Type "G" Electrical Receptacle

This 3-pin electrical outlet and plug from our British friends is the Type G receptacle. The blades are rectangular in shape and the plug has a fuse built in, this protects electrical cords from high-current circuits. This device will usually have a safety switch. It may be known more commonly as the 13-amp plug, which has gates built in that protect the live and neutral connections and also prevent the insertion of incorrect or unsafe plugs. The gates are opened only by the longer pins of the Type G device; it is not advisable to tamper with these gates by opening them with a screwdriver to insert a Type C or other plugs, as these do not have a built in fuse. Technically known as the BS 1363; 13A/230-240V; 50HzBritish earthed and fused plug and receptacle.

ELECTRICAL OUTLET TYPE H

Information for Type "H" Electrical Receptacle

The Type H Israeli electrical plug and outlet is completely unique to Israel. The 3-pin triangular formation is very easy to spot when compared to other types. The original Type H assembly is rare and was redesigned in 1989 by replacing the three flat pins with three 4mm round pins. This revision was needed because the original thin flat blades became overheated when attached to larger electrical items. The revised sockets accept both the old and new plugs, and also accommodate Type C plugs. The technical reference is 16A/250V Israeli unearthed plug.

ELECTRICAL OUTLET TYPE J

Information for Type "J" Electrical Receptacle

The Swiss make this 3-pin electrical outlet and plug device, thus its name "Swiss 3-pin" is an obvious choice. Quite similar to the Europlug Type C, with the difference being partly that the Type J has a grounding pin off to one side. The Swiss Type J is the standard in Switzerland, and has a three square prong configuration that is rated up to a 16A application. Anything above 16A would require a hard-wire configuration, or a special high-powered industrial grade connection. The Type J device is technically called SEV 1011; 10A/250V Swiss electrical receptacle.

ELECTRICAL OUTLET TYPE K

Information for Type "K" Electrical Receptacle

The Type K electrical receptacle is the Danish standard device. The Type K has a spaded grounding pin and two round pins making it a 3-pin plug and outlet. It's similar to the Type E, with the differences being in the way the grounding pin and holes are configured (somewhat opposite in that one is an "innie" where the other is an "outie,"). The technical name for this device is SRAF 1962 DB 10A/250V; Danish standard plug.

Information for Type "L" Electrical Receptacle

The Type L Italian 3-pin plug has two round pins with a third round grounding pin in a line, making it okay for the live or neutral pins to be inserted in either direction. This is the standard in Italy. There are two other types of L sockets, with the first being smaller with a center hole, and two 8-shaped holes above and below. The second type appears similar to the Type F, but has a center grounding hole, and is twice as big as the Type L socket. The technical name of the Type L device isCEI 23-16/VII; Italian earthed plug/socket standard.

Graphene from gases for new, bendable electronics

Graphene from gases for new, bendable electronics. Flexible, translucent and ultrathin, layers of carbon atoms called graphene are also excellent electrical conductors that could find use in flexible computer displays, molecular electronics and new wireless communications. Making high-quality graphene sheets is usually a slow, painstaking process, but now several research groups have discovered ways to make patterned graphene circuits using techniques borrowed from microchip manufacturing, which can be scaled up for mass production. Layers of graphene — carbon atoms arranged in a chicken-wire pattern one atom thick — can be manually peeled away from the graphite in pencils using adhesive tape. In contrast, the new technique causes carbon atoms in a vapor of hydrocarbons to settle onto a nickel surface and arrange into graphene’s characteristic pattern of hexagons. Using standard chip-making techniques, circuit designs are etched into the nickel surface. As the graphene layer

Atomtronics trying to replace Electronics....Using Ultracold Atoms Instead of Electrons, Atomtronics Could Revolutionize Computing

Atomtronics trying to replace Electronics... We all have heard of electronics, mechatronics and maybe even spintronics, but the latest buzzword doing the rounds of physics labs is atomtronics—the science of creating circuits, devices and materials using ultra-cold atoms instead of electrons Electronics is the field of electron movement in the circuits governed by the use of wires, silicon and electricity. All modern electronic devices contain transistors as the fundamental building blocks. Until recently, electronics had been based on a single property of electrons—their charge. But now physicists have begun to exploit another property—electron spin. So-called spintronics promises to revolutionise electronics because it allows information to be encoded in an entirely new way. Though electronics is bestowed with a large number of inherited advantages, but in the era of quantum electronics it is facing new challenges. Because electrons lose any possible initial quantum sta
