   Like in most European plugs, the power pins of Danish plugs are 19 mm (0.75 in) long and spaced 19 mm (0.75 in) apart, with a diameter of 4.8 mm (0.19 in). The earthing pin is part of the plug (in contrast to French and Schuko plugs); it is D-shaped, 14 mm (0.55 in) long, and offset from the power pins by 13 mm (0.51 in).
