I’ve always known these with pins, or are they replaced by those two tiny plates on the side?
Edit: example of one of the most sold models https://www.benl.ebay.be/itm/387671120546
This is a french type socket, one with tiny plates in the side is called schuko
If you don’t know what you’re doing I suggest you don’t buy a jukebox online but at a local store. That way you’re probably on the safe side. The link one looks like the German version and your post pic is France/Belgium. They’re not compatible. Plugs are a non-EU-standardized mess.
there multiple types of schuko systems
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.
Yes, if your plug looks like this, the new ones will do.

Ground goes from the pin on the one you already have into the plug, or through the tiny plates on the side.

![[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}
