Travel Plug Adapters

Our pick

Ceptics Adapter Plug Set for Worldwide International Travel (Set of 12)

Choose the Ceptics set of twelve for trips across several plug standards: its separate adapters and carry case give you a kit to pack for the itinerary.1

Why this one

  • The twelve-piece set covers Types A, B, C, D, E/F, G, H, I, J, L, M and N; take the adapters that match your destination sockets.1
  • Its universal input excludes South African device plugs, so check your own plug as well as the wall socket.2

The alternatives

Other contenders

  • Ceptics CT-11A

    For a Type J trip with North American plugs, CT-11A gives you three adapters, each with a grounded main socket and a non-grounded secondary socket. It does not convert voltage: your device's stated input range must accept the destination mains voltage.57

  • Ceptics CT-16

    Choose CT-16 for Type I sockets: its three-pack also pairs a grounded main socket with a non-grounded secondary socket. It does not convert voltage: your device's stated input range must accept the destination mains voltage.68

For gear with a three-prong grounded plug

For a trip across several standards, the twelve-piece Ceptics set is the grounded choice here. Match the particular adapter and wall socket to the earth connection your device needs.1

For keeping a set of small adapters from getting lost

The twelve-piece set includes a carry case, keeping the adapters together between trips.1 For two-prong devices and an itinerary using Types A, C, E/F, G or I, the five-piece set gives you fewer adapters and an included pouch; it does not provide grounding.34
