This electrical socket is common in: Brazil
There are two versions of the Type N plug. One is rated at 10 A and has two round pins (diameter 4mm) and an earth pin. The other is intended for larger appliances and is rated at 20 A. It has two pins (diameter 4.8 mm) and an earth pin. The Type N socket is designed to work with Type C plugs as well.
Brazil is one of the few countries where two voltages are in use. Most states use 127 V but some use 220 V. It is therefore important to know the local voltage before plugging in your appliance – incorrect voltage can destroy it! Many appliances sold in Brazil can work with either one of the two voltages.
The Type N plug is used for currents up to 10/20 A.
