Recently, a friend went to Hong Kong and brought back an iPad 4. When he came back, he found that the original power charger was not compatible with the mainstream interface standards in China. It could only be used on some large plug banks, which made it inconvenient to go out. In fact, many people have encountered such problems and even become accustomed to them. However, it is estimated that there are not many people going deep into it. Today, we might as well take this opportunity to introduce various plug standards that are popular internationally.

Generally speaking, there are five plug standards that are widely used internationally, namely: national standard plug, American standard plug, British standard plug, European standard plug and South African standard plug.

The above basically lists the commonly used plug standards in the world, and the most commonly used plug in China is the national standard plug. In addition, British standard plugs are also common. For this type of plug, some plug manufacturers can directly support it, saving a lot of trouble. For users who often go out, they can purchase a small adapter to take with them, which is convenient and fast, as shown in the following figure:

In addition, for the iPad 4 charger mentioned at the beginning, because it is assembled by two parts, the charging unit and plug are independent, so you can buy a national standard plug separately and use it together with the charging unit, without worrying about the damage to the machine caused by using a third-party charger. At present, there are many such plugs on Taobao, and the price is not expensive, so you can consider purchasing them.

It is also a good way to purchase the charging plug of the Bank of China separately
