Electrical plugs and sockets differ from one another in voltage and current rating, shape, size, and connector type.
Different standard systems of plugs and sockets are used around the world.
Plugs and sockets for portable appliances became available in the 1880s, to replace connections to light sockets with wall-mounted outlets.
A proliferation of types developed for both convenience and protection from electrical injury.
Today there are about 20 types in common use around the world, and many obsolete socket types are found in older buildings.
Coordination of technical standards has allowed some types of plug to be used across large regions to facilitate trade in electrical appliances, and for the convenience of travelers and consumers of imported electrical goods.

(some multi-standard sockets allow use of several types of ‘plug’)
.
(‘improvised / unapproved adapters’ between incompatible sockets/plugs may not provide the full safety and performance of an approved ‘socket–plug combination’)
