Mains Plug Adaptors

Mains plug adaptors and mains leads for the UK and around the world

Europe is 220-230V ac 50Hz.

USA is 110V ac 60Hz.

Now that CE safety approvals apply across Europe it is quite easy to use electrical equipment from one country in another - but only if you have the appropriate plug! Please note that the majority of the adaptors below do not convert the voltage of a product, simply the plug type.

UK plugs- have three static pins. Can be used in the UK, Ireland, Malta, Cyprus, Singapore and Hong Kong.

EU plugs- have two static round pins. Can be used in most European, African, Middle Eastern and South American countries

US plugs- have two flat pins - for use in North America.

Follow these links to websites with full details of the different plug types used in all countries!
