UK to European Plug Adapter 3 USB Ports 🔌
Description:
This compact travel adapter converts a UK plug into the common European Schuko Type E/F configuration and adds three USB ports, making it a practical companion for short trips across most of continental Europe. It is aimed at travellers who need to power a laptop or hairdryer from the mains and charge multiple devices such as phones and tablets at the same time, according to the manufacturer's description.
Key Points
The adapter accepts UK mains plugs and fits Type E and F sockets found in countries like Germany, France, Spain, Italy and the Netherlands. It integrates two USB-C ports plus one standard USB-A port, so you can charge newer USB-C devices alongside older accessories. The unit is compact and designed to be carried in hand luggage, offering convenience on business trips and holidays. Consider that it converts the plug shape only and does not perform voltage conversion, so check device compatibility with 230 V mains before use.

Usage Recommendations
Use this adapter when travelling to Europe to keep multiple devices powered from a single wall socket. Plug in devices that accept the local voltage and frequency, for example chargers or travel hair tools rated for 220–240 V. For efficient charging, connect high-draw devices directly to the mains outlet rather than relying solely on the USB ports, especially for items such as hairdryers or kettles which typically require higher current.
Practical Tips
Place the adapter in a top pocket of your carry-on so it is easy to reach at airports and hotels. When using the two USB-C ports simultaneously, expect shared power distribution between ports which may affect charging speed for each device. For travel to countries with recessed sockets or where space is limited around the outlet, be mindful of the adapter’s width to avoid blocking adjacent plugs.
