The plug defined in [[SI 32|SI&nbsp;32]] ([[IS16A-R]]) is used only in [[Israel]], the [[Gaza Strip]] and the [[West Bank]]. There are two versions: an older one with flat pins, and a newer one with round pins.<ref name=PlugSocketIsrael>{{cite web |url=https://www.plugsocketmuseum.nl/Israeli1.html |title=SI 32 standard Israeli plugs and sockets |website=PlugSocketMuseum.nl |access-date=8 June 2018}}</ref>

The pre-1989 system has three flat pins in a Y-shape, with live and neutral {{convert|19|mm|in|2|abbr=on}} apart. The plug is rated at 16&nbsp;A. In 1989 the standard was revised, with three round {{convert|4.5|mm|in|3|abbr=on}} pins in the same locations designed to allow the socket to accept both older and newer Israeli plugs, and also non-grounded Europlugs (often used in Israel for equipment which does not need to be grounded and does not use more current than the Europlug is rated for).<ref name=PlugSocketIsrael/> Pre-1989 sockets which accept only old-style plugs have become very rare in Israel.

Sockets have a defined polarity; looking at the front, neutral is to the left, ground at the bottom, and live to the right.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www2.moital.gov.il/cmstamat/rsrc/tkina/SI32Part1-1.pdf |title=SI 32 part 1.1, draft, 3/2013.
