![[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?

You need to buy the one that corresponds to the standard where you live. The same as the ones on your walls. If you buy the wrong one it will work most of the time but create massive frustration every once in a while.
