A Type C plug (also called a Europlug) has two round pins. The pins are 4 to 4.8 mm wide with centers that are spaced 19 mm apart; the plug fits any socket that conforms to these dimensions. It also fits into Type E, F, J, K or N sockets that often replace the Type C socket.

thequickbrownfoxjumpsoverthelazydog

The sentence with all 26 letters in one word

After typing “The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog,” I looked at the screen and read this big word - thequickbrownfoxjumpsoverthelazydog, with no spaces. I pressed the spacebar a few times and the cursor didn’t move. A short moment later, I realised that the spacebar on the computer’s old keyboard was broken.
