Frequently Asked Questions

• • Does this fit a "Type C" plug? Yes, the two flat ports are specifically designed for the Type C European multi plug commonly found on modern phone chargers.
• • What is the "round" 2-pin port for? The larger 2 pin plug adapter port is for "Contour" or CEE 7/17 plugs often found on small household appliances and some power tools.
• • Is this a surge protector? No, this is a standard conversion adaptor. For protection against voltage spikes or load shedding surges, use an SCE or Lesco surge-protected model.
• • Can I use this for my hair dryer? Only if the hair dryer is a 2-pin model and its wattage is within the 10A (approx. 2300W) limit, though direct wall plugging is always safer for high-heat tools.
