The concept of a "Type SE" seems to be a Japanese thing: the [canonical list of plug types][1] is maintained by the International Electrotechnical Commission, and they don't recognize it. The best source I could find, then, is [this random Japanese site][2], which claims that Type SE is identical to the Type C, except that: - Type SE plugs have may have a hole for a ground (earth) pin in the middle - Type SE plugs may have slightly wider pins than Type C On closer observation, it looks like **"Type SE" is identical to what is usually called "Type E"**! [Type E][3], which originates from France, has the grounding pin hole and straight 4.8x19 mm pins, while Type C lacks the hole and has slightly smaller, tapered 4x19mm pins.
