South African National Standard 164: Plugs and socket outlets for household and similar purposes for use in South Africa is the South African Bureau of Standards' standard for domestic AC power plugs and sockets. As a former British colony, South Africa's electricity standards are of British derivation, and it uses 220/230 V at 50 Hz AC. [1]
South Africa implemented the "SANS 164-5" that also relies on 60906-1, although types D and M are still supported. Both countries are almost a decade with full enforcement of the new standards. ( newest | oldest ) View ( newer 10 | older 10 ) ( 10 | 20 | 50 | 100 | 250 | 500 )
World Plugs includes some history, a description of plug types, and a list of countries giving the type(s) used and the mains voltage and frequency. Although useful for quick reference, especially for travellers, IEC World Plugs may not be regarded as totally accurate, as illustrated by the examples in the plugs section below, and errors may exist.
(A combined socket, which accepts both plugs according to SN 441011 and IEC 60906-1, would, however, be easy to implement, since a further hole for the earthing contact with the smaller distance would only have to be added opposite the previous central hole.) The hexagonal shape of the Euro plug (2.5 A) is also derived from the Swiss standard.
ASME Y14.44-2008 continues the convention of Plug P and Jack J when assigning references for electrical connectors in assemblies where a J (or jack) is the more fixed and P (or plug) is the less fixed of a connector pair, without regard to the gender of the connector contacts.
South Africa adopted IEC 60906-1 as its national standard, SANS 164-2, in 1992. The standard specifies both a 2-pin unearthed and 3-pin earthed plug system, equivalent to IEC Type N. SANS 164-2 was designated the "preferred standard" in 2013, and South Africa is in the process of transitioning to it as the dominant system, expected to be ...

To minimize confusion, it is best to describe a connector using: the manufacturer's name, exact connector series, and optionally the pitch, such as "JST-XH" or "JST-XH-2.50mm" or "2.50mm JST XH-series" or other variations. The official J.S.T. Co. website allows users to check certain models for their authenticity and specifications. [26]
