What type of plugs and sockets are used in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (Congo-Kinshasa)?
When you are going on a trip to Congo-Kinshasa, be sure to pack the appropriate travel plug adapter that fits the local sockets. But what do those electrical outlets look like? In the Democratic Republic of the Congo (Congo-Kinshasa), types C and E are the official standards. Since type F plugs are identical to type E plugs, they can also be used with type E sockets. The Democratic Republic of the Congo has standardized on the same plugs and receptacles as Belgium, just like its neighbouring country Burundi. Both countries used to be Belgian colonies.
