![[EU] I want to replace an old multi-socket but the majority of the ones sold today don't have this pin? Why is that and does that mean they are not connected to the ground?](https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/646a06d0-f730-4cd3-9ee6-2b7c66fe3a9f.jpeg){kind=link}
I’ve always known these with pins, or are they replaced by those two tiny plates on the side?

I know you’re not wrong but I’ve always heard that pin called “ground” instead of “earth” in English
In US English Ground is used to signify Earth. But if you said Ground in England people would understand what you meant.
I guess to be fair, most of my time working with electronics was alongside the USN so that makes sense
