Default Is there a 'proper' name for Euro/French two-pin 2.5A sockets?

I just tried a europlug into 13A socket, and it's about 2mm too narrow.
On the other end of the europlug lead was a C13, so I was reminded how
perfectly those fit into an XLR mic :-)

And be OK for its rated load?


Apart from a 2.5A device being protected by a 32A MCB on a ring?


If you're talking to me (OP) it's not on a ring/power circuit, it has
its own protection rated suitably for the trivial load.
