The Weird Swiss Plug (Type J)

Switzerland is unique in Europe because it uses the Type J outlet.

Can I use my European Plug?

Type C (Skinny 2-pin): YES. If you have a phone charger with the thin Europlug, it fits into the Swiss Type J socket.
Type F (Round Schuko): NO. The big round plugs used in Germany/France/Spain do NOT fit in the recessed Swiss hexagon socket.

Recommendation

If you are coming from UK/US/Aus: Get a Universal Adapter that supports Type J (or fits Type C).
If you are coming from Europe: Bring a simple 2-pin adapter if you have heavy 3-pin equipment.

Voltage

Standard 230V / 50Hz. Compatible with all EU/UK appliances.
