![[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?

Hello, the pin showed in the image is the ground. Though the one with the benl link is also with a ground. You can see it in the picture its a piece of metal shown in the inner diameter of the female plug. You should be aware that if your male plug is not provided with this connector, your either can’t connect it to this socket or you will not have a ground.
