Information on The Type D Electrical Outlet
The technical name for the Type D plug and receptacle is the BS 546 (5 A/250 V earthed). This type was the standard in the UK until the 1940s. It was also previously used in South Africa, but has been phased out by the Type M. In other former British colonies, the plug has been mostly replaced by the Type G. Today, the Type D 5 A, and its 2 A cousin, are sometimes used in the UK for centrally switched lighting circuits, in order to distinguish them from normal power circuits.
