As long as you do not use "SCHUKO" type plugs, they WILL fit.
For instance the Newt power supply plug fits 100%.
As far as the SCHUKO is concerned: the newer power cords come with a
connector that has a female contact for the "Schutzkontakt", same size as
the two contact posts, but the safety contact post is mounted in the wall
outlet.

Cheers
