Electrical wall outlets in North America are a different shape/arrangement from wall outlets found in most countries. Therefore, you will need an adapter plug(s) in order to allow your converter/transformer or dual voltage appliance to fit into a foreign wall outlet. Adapter plugs only allow you to plug your converter/transformer or dual voltage appliance into a foreign wall outlet and DO NOT CONVERT VOLTAGE (ELECTRICITY).

Ungrounded Adapter Plugs accept appliances with a polarized (i.e., a Polarized Plug features one-plug prong wider than the other) or nonpolarized 2-pin parallel plugs ( ) and the two round thin pins (Continental Europe ) found on our converters. These plugs allow converters and dual voltage appliances to fit into various wall outlets. Our special oval shape plugs will fit most "recessed" and "flat" wall outlets – internationally.

Some 110V countries may use a nonpolarized outlet, which will require you to use an adapter plug for your appliance’s polarized plug. Travelsky's 652523 adapter plug accepts polarized plugs yet its prongs fit nonpolarized outlets.

Grounded Adapter Plugs accept appliances with grounded or ungrounded, polarized or nonpolarized plugs from almost every country in the world and allows the grounded appliance to be used in various grounded wall outlets. These plugs accept 2 pin grounded and 3 pin grounded plugs found on polarized or nonpolarized appliances, transformers, converters and dual wattage appliances. These grounded plugs are recommended for travelers with computers, stereos, power tools and other high wattage appliances with a grounded pin plug. We also recommend using a Grounded Adapter Plug with our Heavy Duty Transformers.

NOTE: Adapter plugs do not convert voltage (electricity) and should only be used with converters, transformers or dual voltage appliances.

Remember: Always unplug your adapter plug from the outlet when not in use.
