Israel Travel Adapters
Type H and Type C • 230 volts • 50 Hz
Israel uses mains electricity supplied at 230 volts at 50 Hz. The standard Israel plug type and outlet is Type H. Modern Type H plugs use three round pins, and Type H sockets also accept two-pin Type C Europlugs, so travelers may encounter both Type H and Type C compatibility.
Travelers from the U.S. using Type A or Type B plugs need a US-to-Israel travel adapter for Type H outlets. A travel adapter changes the plug shape only and does not convert voltage. Devices marked for 100–240V input can be used on Israel's 230V supply with the correct adapter; equipment that is not dual voltage requires an appropriate voltage converter.

Older Israeli Type H plugs used three flat pins in a Y-shaped pattern.
The SI 32 standard was revised in 1989 to use the present round-pin design.
Modern Type H sockets accept both the older flat-pin Type H plugs and the current round-pin Type H plugs,
as well as two-pin Type C Europlugs. Flat-pin-only Type H sockets are now very rare.
