Finding the Right Electrical Adaptor

Wall sockets and voltage differ from country to country, but using your North American appliances in foreign countries is easy with our extensive selection of adaptor plugs and voltage converters.

Below is a chart of the four most needed adaptor plugs for your NON-GROUNDING 2-prong appliances.

There are two basic standard wall currents in the world, 100-125 volts, and 220-250 volts. Some countries use the same 100-125 volt system as we do in North America. Others use a 220-250 volt system common in Europe and elsewhere. When taking US appliances to a country that uses 220-250 volts, a voltage transformer or converter may be required. In addition, you may need one or more plug adaptors which will allow you to insert the plug into that country's wall socket.

Use this interactive guide: "Electrical Connection Wizard" for each appliance you'll be taking along to determine the plug adaptor(s) needed and whether a transformer or converter is required when taking appliances designed for North America to another country.

To get started, we first need to know where you are going to determine the voltage used at your destination.
