About this deal

Small print on the device or power adapter indicates what voltages the device can work with. If you see 100-240V 50/60Hz printed, the adapter is rated to work on all voltages used worldwide. Please note that power plug adapters only convert plug types and do not convert voltages.

I’m bought these for a trip to Brazil and they worked wonderfully. The only issue I might offer up is that they can be a little heavy. This wasn’t an issue for most of the plugs in Brazil, but I did find that the prongs were just a bit too long for some of the shallower receptacles in Brazil. This had the effect of leaving a little gap between the wall and the adaptor, and left some of the prongs exposed.

Before purchasing travel insurance, it’s important to carefully review the policy details, including the coverage limits, exclusions, and any applicable deductibles or copays. You should also make sure that the policy covers any activities or destinations that you plan to participate in or visit during your trip. There are many types of plugs used across the world. For example a European plug will typically be a Type C, whereas a US plug type will be a Type A. However in Asia you can find that there is a mix of plug types being used. North America This adapter has a safety protection so you don't plug only one terminal into the adapter while touching the other with your finger, because it is generic, when you buy it pay attention to this safety mechanism.

Type C - The standard European plug. Commonly used in Europe, South-America and Asia, but also in quite a few other countries. Plugs of type E and F will also fit in a type C outlet. a lot of power such as a hair dryer, hair straightener or curling iron, which can be dangerous to use with these devices.Multiple readers have reported that Brazil uses mostly type "C" and 220V (hotels and big cities). Officially the plug type "N" is the definite and standard nowadays, it can be used with plugs type "C".

One of the most popular tourist destinations in Brazil is Rio de Janeiro, a city famous for its Carnival celebration, beautiful beaches like Copacabana and Ipanema, and iconic landmarks such as the Christ the Redeemer statue and Sugarloaf Mountain. Visitors can also enjoy the city’s lively nightlife and delicious cuisine, which includes traditional dishes like feijoada (a bean stew) and churrasco (Brazilian barbecue).

Also, I hadn’t realized that Brazil has two different receptacle powers, one much stronger than the others. I had been told by night friend to be careful not to plug my devices into the stronger receptacles as it might damage them. I am not sure what Plugging this adapter into their stronger units might have done (I did not want to sacrifice my devices to find out), but might have been potentially dangerous. Last but not least on the South American countries list, Venezuela. Venezuela uses both the unearthed USA (type A) and earthed USA (type B) plug. Converters and transformers perform a similar function, but their applications differ. Converters are typically used with appliances that operate for a short duration (1-2hours), whilst most transformers can be used alongside appliances that operate continuously. The voltage of North America is 120 volts, with most electrical goods operating at around 110 volts. The plug type is two prongs with a third optional round pin.

It is likely you will only find plugs-type "G" in the UK. Plugs type "D" and "M" are considered "old" and not common. They are are still used nowadays to differentiate low-power lighting circuits. So please don't try to use an adapter on them for high-power equipments like hair-dryer or even battery chargers. It’s important to understand that some travel adaptors are not suitable for any appliances that require an earth connection. These types of travel adaptors should only be used with double insulated equipment, which will be clearly marked with the symbol shown below. Multi Regional Adapters - These adapters offer multiple plug type options with multiple output options for travelling to different regions. So for example an adapter could have up to three types of plugs as the source and then have up to three types of plugs for the outlet. Grounded vs. Non-Grounded Adapters In addition to its natural beauty and cultural attractions, Brazil is also home to a vibrant arts scene, with world-renowned artists and musicians like Gilberto Gil and Tom Jobim hailing from the country. Visitors can experience Brazil’s rich artistic heritage at museums and galleries throughout the country. Other popular destinations in Brazil include Salvador, a city known for its Afro-Brazilian culture and stunning colonial architecture; Florianopolis, an island paradise with over 40 beaches to explore; and Foz do Iguaçu, home to the breathtaking Iguaçu Falls, which are taller than Niagara Falls.This adapter allows you to use plugs type: A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I, J, K, L, M, N into outlets type: I. Adapter: generic This adapter is probably illegal in some countries, we put it here for educational purposes; it does not have earth connection but it allows earthed plugs to be connected to it. It has no finger-terminal protection. Try to go for a more expensive and safer alternative. Adapters you can buy It is generally recommended to get travel insurance when traveling to a different country. Travel insurance can provide financial protection and peace of mind in case of unexpected events, such as medical emergencies, trip cancellations, lost or stolen baggage, or other travel-related mishaps. High-power devices don't usually handle different voltages due to the high-currents involved i.e. anything that its main purpose involves generating heat (or cold) like hair driers, baby bottle warmers, kettles, etc. On the contrary, modern low-power devices are likely to auto-detect and auto-adapt to different voltages i.e. usb chargers, laptop chargers, etc. You might either need a step up voltage converter, a step down voltage converter, or maybe, nothing at all. When a country electronic grid is not homogenous, there is not much we can help but ask you to exercise caution. Plugs Type Different plug systems
