Product Information
Full details
The Maplin AU Plug to Worldwide Socket Travel Adapter is an essential companion for international travelers visiting Australia, enabling you to power your home electronics using standard Australian AC wall sockets. This compact adapter supports a wide variety of global plug types, including types A, B, C, G, L, and I, ensuring broad compatibility for your international devices. While it is highly versatile, users should note that this device acts as a physical plug adapter only and does not function as a voltage converter, meaning you must ensure your electronics are compatible with Australian 250V power standards.

Does this adapter change the voltage?
No, this is a plug adapter only. It does not convert voltage, so your devices must be dual-voltage or compatible with 250V.
Can I use this with high-wattage appliances like a hair dryer?
Yes, provided the appliance is under the 2500W limit and is compatible with Australian voltage.
Is this adapter safe for children to use?
This is not a toy. Like all electrical accessories, it should be kept out of reach of children.
Which specific plug types are supported?
The adapter supports Type A, B, C, G, L, and I plugs.
Can I use this to plug an Australian device into a foreign socket?
No, this adapter is designed specifically for converting international plugs for use in Australian sockets.
Is this product waterproof?
No, the adapter is not waterproof and should be kept away from water, moisture, and high humidity environments.
Troubleshooting
Plug does not fit securely into the adapter
Ensure you are using a supported plug type (A, B, C, G, L, or I) and that there is no debris inside the adapter ports.
Device is not receiving power when connected
Check that the Australian wall socket switch is turned on and verify your device's power brick is compatible with 250V input.
Adapter feels loose in the wall socket
Verify the wall socket is not worn out and ensure the adapter is pushed in completely to establish a firm electrical connection.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setting up the adapter requires no special tools: simply insert your device's plug into the front-facing input of the Maplin adapter and plug the adapter pins directly into the wall socket. To maintain the life of your adapter, store it in a dry location and ensure it is free from dust or debris before insertion. Inspect the pins occasionally for signs of bending or oxidation. If the adapter becomes wet or shows signs of cracking in the plastic casing, discontinue use immediately.
