VINTAR WS-16-C3U Type I Travel Plug Adapter, 2-Pack with 2 AC Outlets and USB-C

Pros

With two AC outlets and four USB ports, including one USB-C port, the VINTAR WS-16-C3U helps keep several everyday devices together on one Type I travel adapter. It’s designed for trips from Canada to destinations such as Australia, New Zealand and China, where a Type I plug is used. The two-pack gives you a pair of adapters to take along or keep in separate travel bags.

For a phone, camera and other travel essentials, having multiple charging connections in one compact unit can make it easier to organize charging at your accommodation. Each adapter weighs 85 g and measures 7.9 x 5.8 x 6.1 centimetres, so it’s suited to packing alongside other small travel gear. An LED indicator shows whether the adapter is on.

Key points

The two AC outlets accept standard American plugs, while three USB ports provide charging up to 2.4A and the USB-C port supports up to 3A. The adapter is rated for a maximum capacity of 2,500 watts at 250 volts and 10A. Its six connection points are useful when you’re travelling with a mix of plug-in devices and USB-charged electronics, rather than packing a separate adapter for every connection.

This is a plug adapter, not a voltage converter. It can be used with devices rated for 100V to 250V, check the device label before connecting it. That matters especially for appliances such as hair dryers, straighteners, electric toothbrushes and razors: they need to support dual voltage, or require an appropriate voltage converter. The adapter’s Type I format is intended for compatible outlets in destinations including Australia, New Zealand and China.

Buyers commonly highlight the number of ports, ease of use and convenience of charging several devices from one plug. Feedback on compatibility is mixed, so matching the Type I adapter and the connected device’s voltage rating to your destination and equipment is an important part of trip preparation.

How to use it

Plug the adapter into a compatible Type I wall outlet, then connect your devices through the AC outlets or USB ports. For a typical travel setup, you might use the USB connections for a cell phone and camera while keeping an AC outlet available for another compatible device. Check each device’s voltage range before plugging it in, the adapter changes the plug connection, not the device’s operating voltage. The LED indicator provides a quick visual cue that the adapter is powered.

Choose this multi-port format when you want one travel adapter to serve several devices in a shared charging spot. If your main need is only a single plug connection, a simpler adapter may suit that setup, the VINTAR’s advantage is the combination of two AC outlets and four USB ports in each unit.

Should you buy it?

A solid pick if you’re preparing for travel to a Type I destination and want to charge a mix of plug-in and USB devices from one compact adapter. With two adapters in the pack, six connection points per unit and support for compatible 100V–250V devices, it offers a practical way to keep travel charging organized—provided your equipment’s voltage rating matches the supply.
