Israel Type H Travel Adapter (SI 32)
Israel and Palestine use the grounded Type H plug. It has three round pins arranged in a triangular pattern.

Countries and Territories Using Type H
Adapter may also be spelled adaptor. Converter may be spelled convertor. Grounded may also be described as earthed.
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.
