The Europlug, also known as Type C by the IEC, is a flat, non-rewirable two-pole, round-pin domestic AC power plug, rated for voltages up to 250 V and currents up to 2.5 A. It is a compromise design for low-power Class II appliances. It is defined by the CEE 7 standard under the official designation CEE 7/16 Alternative II. The standard requires Europlugs to be non-rewirable and attached to a power cord or appliance; anything else is non-compliant.
