Buying guide
Travel adapters: choose the plug, power and protection you need
Choose a travel adapter by destination plug type, voltage compatibility, USB-C output, earthing and device load.
Start with the shape of the decision
A plug adapter changes the physical connection; it does not necessarily convert voltage. Check the destination and every appliance label before comparing port counts or charging claims.
Free checks first
- Confirm the plug type and mains voltage used at every destination.
- Read the input range printed on each charger or appliance.
- Leave high-power heating appliances at home unless both adapter and voltage support are explicit.
