{{further|GOST 7396#Group C}}

This Soviet plug, now rarely used, has pin dimensions and spacing equal to the Europlug, but lacks the insulation sleeves. Unlike the Europlug, it is rated 6&nbsp;A. It has a round body like the European CEE&nbsp;7/2 or flat body with a round base like CEE&nbsp;7/17. The round base has no notches. The pins are parallel and do not converge. The body is made of fire-resistant [[Thermosetting polymer|thermoset plastic]]. The corresponding 6&nbsp;A socket accepts the Europlug, but not others as the 4.5&nbsp;mm holes are too small to accept the 4.8&nbsp;mm pins of CEE&nbsp;7/4, CEE&nbsp;7/6 or CEE&nbsp;7/7 plugs.

There were also moulded rubber plugs available for devices up to 16&nbsp;A similar to CEE&nbsp;7/17, but with a round base without any notches. They could be altered to fit a CEE&nbsp;7/5 or CEE&nbsp;7/3 socket by cutting notches with a sharp knife.
