TESSAN South African Plug Adapter with USB-C, 2 USB-A Ports and 1 Socket
Product description
Choosing a travel adapter often comes down to whether you need a single place to plug in or several charging options together. This TESSAN adapter combines a Type M socket with USB ports in one compact unit.
For a trip from the UK to South Africa, it provides a practical way to connect compatible devices to a Type M socket. Its listed country compatibility also covers destinations including Namibia, Botswana and India.
When several devices need charging at once, the adapter can power up to four simultaneously through its socket and USB connections. Its compact dimensions make it easy to pack for a holiday or business trip.
Tips for day-to-day use
Use the Type M socket for a compatible plug and the USB-A or USB-C ports for devices that charge through USB. This gives you options for a phone, tablet and other devices without relying on a separate USB charger for each one. The adapter supports one socket, one USB-C port and two USB-A ports, so it can serve different charging needs in the same travel setup.
Before connecting a device to the socket, check that its input voltage range is 100–250 V. This is a plug adapter, not a voltage converter, so it changes the plug connection rather than the device’s operating voltage. The stated maximum power is 2,500 W, keep the connected equipment within that limit.
Why it makes sense
A single-outlet adapter may suit a traveller charging one device at a time. This model is designed for a different routine: its combination of a socket and USB ports supports charging up to four devices simultaneously, helping keep essential electronics together at a hotel or during a work trip. USB-C and USB-A connections also provide flexibility for devices using different USB charging cables.
The USB-C output is up to 15 W, while USB-A output is up to 12 W. At 7.3 × 5.6 × 4 cm and 106 g, the adapter is easy to place in a travel bag without taking up much luggage space. Its Type M compatibility is listed for South Africa, Namibia, Botswana, India, Nepal, Mozambique, Sri Lanka, Eswatini and Lesotho, making it useful for itineraries that include these destinations.

What to clarify

Can I charge several devices at the same time? Yes. The adapter supports up to four devices simultaneously using its socket, USB-C port and two USB-A ports.
Is it worth it?

It is particularly suited to trips where phones, tablets and other compatible electronics need a shared charging point, provided each device’s voltage requirements and the 2,500 W maximum are respected.
