Frequently asked questions
Do I need an adapter or a converter?
An adapter changes the plug shape. A converter changes voltage — only needed if your device doesn't support the local voltage. Most chargers say 100–240 V, so they only need an adapter.
Can I use a US hair dryer in Europe?
Only if it's dual-voltage (100–240 V). Otherwise it needs a voltage converter, or it may overheat.
What are Type C plugs?
The two-round-pin 'Europlug', which fits most sockets across continental Europe and many other countries.
