TESSAN UK to Australia Travel Adapter with 3 USB Ports 🔌
Description:
This compact travel adaptor converts a UK plug into an Australian Type I socket while also providing multiple USB charging options, making it practical for short trips across Australia, New Zealand and several Pacific and South American destinations. It combines two AC sockets with three USB ports including a USB-C port, so you can keep a laptop or small appliance and several mobile devices powered at the same time.
Key Points
The adaptor accepts 100–250 V appliances according to the manufacturer and supports a maximum combined AC power of 2500 W. USB-A ports supply up to 12 W each and the USB-C port supplies up to 15 W, which covers most phones, tablets and accessories when charged individually. It is lightweight at 194 g and measures approximately 11.3 x 10.1 x 3 cm, which keeps it pocket-friendly for carry-ons and day packs. Note that this is not a voltage converter and high-power single-voltage devices such as some hair tools will need their own dual-voltage capability.

Usage Recommendations
Plug the adaptor into an Australian Type I wall socket and then insert your UK plug into the adaptor’s UK-side fittings. For best charging performance, use a single USB port per tablet to avoid reduced current draw. Smaller electronics such as smartphones, Bluetooth headphones and smartwatches can be charged simultaneously using the USB ports while an additional AC device is connected to a socket.
Consider travel scenarios where multiple devices must be kept ready, for example working remotely from a hotel or charging several family members’ phones during a stopover. The compact dimensions help reduce the number of separate chargers you need to carry, and the arrangement of sockets allows the use of wider plugs without blocking adjacent outlets.
Advantages
This model keeps things simple and functional by combining AC and USB charging in one unit, which reduces the need to pack multiple adapters. The presence of a USB-C port adds a more modern charging option for newer devices and power banks. For travellers moving between Australia, New Zealand, China, Fiji, Argentina and several Pacific islands, the adaptor covers a useful set of destinations without taking up much space.
A practical limitation to bear in mind is that devices requiring a voltage conversion will not be protected by this adaptor, so check appliance specifications before use. Also, when multiple high-draw devices are connected at the same time, available power per port may be lower than when used individually.
