UK to USA Travel Plug Adapter
Earthed Type B, three pin. For the US, Canada and beyond.
Plug your British kit into an American socket. Your UK three pin plug goes straight into the socket on the back, and the front presents an earthed US Type B plug — two flat blades plus the round earthing pin — so it works with grounded appliances rather than just two-pin gear. Suitable for USA, Canada, Mexico and Japan and anywhere else using Type A / Type B outlets. It is compact and light enough to live permanently in a wash bag or laptop sleeve, and the moulded white body is chunky enough to grip properly when you pull it out of the wall. What you get
1 x UK to USA travel plug adapter in white. No box, packaging, fuse or instructions are included — you receive exactly the adapter pictured.
Condition — Used, good clean order
The white moulded body has only light surface marks, a few faint scuffs and one or two tiny specks from previous use, all shown in the photographs. The two flat US blades and the round earth pin are straight and solid, with light scratching and slight tarnishing from being plugged in. The UK three pin socket face on the reverse is clean with no cracks, scorching or melting, and the casing screw is intact. Moulded markings read BS 8546, 10A 250V 50Hz. There are seven photographs covering every face of the adapter, so please have a proper look as they form part of this description.
Important — please read
This is a plug shape adaptor only. It does not convert or step down voltage. North American mains is roughly 110–120V while the UK is 230V, so only use this with appliances rated for dual voltage (most phone, tablet and laptop chargers are — check the small print, which should read something like 100–240V). Do not use it with single-voltage 230V-only appliances such as hairdryers, kettles or straighteners. If you are not sure about a particular device, message us before you buy and we will happily help you check.
