Abstract (en)

[origin: EP3968471A1] The present invention proposes the new universal plug that can be plugged into conventional AC socket (Type F) and an asymmetrical power socket that can be used as DC socket. This asymmetrical DC socket has anti-mis-insertion power interface connector and protection from the AC plugs insertion. The shape of body of the universal electric plug is realised by the geometric intersection of the shape of the body of the AC plug and the shape of the recess of the any possible asymmetric DC outlet and the groove or trimmed edge forming any asymmetrical shape is located in side of plug body on an axis parallel to the axis of the two grounding grooves.
