VINTAR USC1-301-2CU European Travel Plug Adapter, 2 AC Outlets, 3 USB Ports
Product description
For Canadian travellers heading to Europe, the VINTAR USC1-301-2CU brings AC and USB charging together in one compact adapter. Need to charge a phone and plug in other devices at the same time? It has two AC outlets and three USB ports, including two USB-C ports. Its foldable Type C plug packs neatly for a trip.
Usage tips
Use this adapter with devices rated for 100–250V. It changes the plug connection, not the voltage, so check that each device supports the local voltage before connecting it. Hair dryers, straighteners, electric toothbrushes and razors must be dual-voltage models, a separate voltage converter may be needed for a device that does not support 100–250V.
The Type C plug is designed for use in most European countries, including France, Italy and Spain. It does not work in the UK, Ireland or Scotland. When packing, the foldable plug helps protect the prongs and the compact body is easy to stow in a bag or pocket. A built-in LED indicator shows whether power is on or off.
Why it’s worth it
Instead of carrying separate wall adapters for USB and AC devices, you can connect them through one travel adapter. The two AC outlets accommodate plug-in devices, while the three USB ports—two USB-C and one USB-A—provide additional charging connections. The USB output is rated at up to 17W, with 5V output, USB-C is not Quick Charge 3.0 and does not support devices requiring 9V or 22V charging.
Buyers highlight the adapter’s practical combination of AC, USB and USB-C connections for European travel, along with its compact, foldable design. This makes it a useful way to keep charging connections together while moving between accommodations or packing for a trip.

When it makes sense
Choose the VINTAR when your travel kit needs a European Type C plug plus several charging connections in one compact unit. For example, it can provide outlets for two AC devices while USB ports serve phones or tablets, helping keep everyday charging organized during a European stay. It is intended for most of Europe, so plan on a different plug adapter for travel to the UK, Ireland or Scotland. For devices that need a change in voltage rather than just a change in plug shape, use a suitable voltage converter. With its foldable plug and mix of AC and USB ports, this adapter suits travellers looking to simplify charging for compatible devices on European trips.
