==== CEE 7/1 unearthed socket and CEE 7/2 unearthed plug ==== CEE 7/1 unearthed sockets accept CEE 7/2 round plugs with {{convert|4.8|by|19|mm|in|3|abbr=on}} pins. Because they have no earth connections they have been or are being phased out in most countries. Some countries still permit their use in dry areas, while others allow their sale for replacements only. Older sockets are so shallow that it is possible to accidentally touch the live pins of a plug. CEE 7/1 sockets also accept CEE 7/4, CEE 7/6 and CEE 7/7 plugs without providing an earth connection. The earthed CEE 7/3 and CEE 7/5 sockets do not allow insertion of CEE 7/2 unearthed round plugs. {{anchor|CEE 7/4 plug|Type F}}
