The standard voltage is 2V and the standard frequency is Hz. This outlet type has two round holes and is ungrounded. But Type J outlets are more common, both in cities like Geneva and Zurich and throughout the countryside. These allow you to plug your electrical device into the Swiss wall socket, but they do not convert the electricity to the American 1volts. DC = Direct Current electricity ). Plug type C is the plug which has two round pins and plug type J is the plug which has three round pins.
Swiss plugs and wall sockets are shaped rather unusually. The non-grounded European plug with two pins will often fit in a Swiss wall socket. Other plugs will mostly not fit, so an adapter is needed. In stock and available from £6. Do I need a specific Swiss adapter.
I search image online and it has several type of plug in adapter, not sure which is the right one. All of the single phase connectors are rated at 2V. Type C 2-pin plugs also fit J sockets. Most power sockets are designed for three pin round plugs. The most difficult time I had was actually figuring out where the electric outlets were in our Swiss hotel.
C plug will fit in outlets in the. I found the one in the bathroom and realized it was a really strange looking outlet. There were no plug ins around the beds. Many Latin-American, African and Asian countries, however, use a motley collection of – often incompatible – plugs and sometimes also the voltage differs from region to region.

Depending on how much you plan to travel in the future, it may be worthwhile to get a combination voltage converter and plug adapter.
Straight,Right angle,left angle version plugs are available. Both had good ratings and on Amazon. Thanks again for everyones expertise and help.
Switzerland is located in Central Europe and borders Italy and France. This is what the Swiss power plug and power outlet look like (not in true scale !): The distance between the pin at the top and the pin at the bottom is mm. This dimension is the same in most European countries.
On the picture above, the pin at the top is connected to phase and the pin at the bottom is connected to the neutral line. Most electrical devices that travellers take with them (camera and MPchargers, electric razors, and laptop computers) will accommodate a wide range of voltages and frequencies. Rated up to 10A 250V.
The Swiss power outlets are similar to outlets in other countries, but designed for 4mm prongs. Most circuit breakers (fuses for Brits) in Swiss domestic electrical circuits are rated at 13A, with the heavy draw units wired up for 16A (ovens and washing machines). This means that your circuit breaker will pop rather than having the device failing. This is a site about international standards in the field of electricity.
