COMPATIBILITY

Our adapter can be utilized to power or charge:

• USB-charged devices, including iPhone, Samsung, and other Android phones, tablets, power banks, cameras, batteries, headphones, and smart watches;
• A compact power supply with “100-240V, 50/60Hz” printed on it, such as a phone or tablet charger or the majority of laptops, which supports dual (worldwide) voltage.
• Some brands may use “110-230V”, “110/250V”, or a version of a range comparable to this.

ALL-IN-ONE DESIGN

It shares blades with the US plug, and you need to manually turn them to the slant ”╱ ╲”shape.

NOT A VOLTAGESIZEER

• The typical AC outlets in the US and Canada range from 110 to 120 volts. They range from 220-240V in several other nations, including Europe.
• You should be aware that our adaptor DOES NOT convert voltage.
• It is strongly forbidden to use a single voltage device at an incompatible voltage through our adapter because doing so will harm your equipment and have negative effects including overheating, smoke, fire, or even explosion.
• Typically, such devices will have “120V, 60Hz” and/or “household use only” written on them. Some brands may use “117V”, “110-130V”, or another variation of a related number or range.

Need to Check: Electric toothbrushes, CPAP, and hair tools.

NOT ALLOWED : Dyson items; any appliance (hair dryer, steamer, etc.) rated at more than 1600W, even if it bears the “dual voltage” designation.

ALTERATION OF THE FUSE
This adapter has 4 fuses: 2 in the “spare & fuse” box on the plug side and 2 more spares in a separate pouch.

Note : The most frequent cause of a malfunctioning adapter AC outlet is a blown fuse. It is almost definite that the fuse is blown if the AC stops working but the USB ports continue to function, especially if this occurs after using a high-power item like a hair dryer. The fuse has an 8A breaking power.

CHARGE 6 DEVICE AT THE SAME TIME
4 USB Ports 1 Type C and 1 AC Socket to charge 6 devices simultaneously

APPENDIX

A COMPATIBLE SOCKETS APPENDIX
If you reside in the US and intend to bring a 2- or 3-prong equipment into another country, please refer to this chart. Once more, you must ensure that the input voltage of the device you want to connect is compatible with the voltage of the local power network. Type A, B, C, E, F, G, H, I, J, K, L, N, and O sockets can accept the TA-105 adapter. If you’re planning on traveling to India, Nepal, or South Africa using our TA-105 adapter, check sure your accommodations have the newer Type C or Type N sockets because it will NOT fit into a Type D or Type M socket. If not, or if you are unsure, you must carry particular Type D or Type M adapters.

PLUGS ACCEPTED IN APPENDIX B
If you want to know if your gadget, which you didn’t buy in the US, can be plugged into our TA-105 travel adapter, please refer to this chart. Type A, B, C, E/F, G, I, J, L, and N connectors from other nations can be used with the TA-105 adaptor.

200+ COMPATIBLE COUNTRIES & REGIONS APPENDIX C
The majority of nations in Europe, North America, and Australia have established standards for plugs, sockets, and voltage. However, a lot of South American, Asian, and African nations follow a variety of standards, some of which are incompatible for historical reasons. In several nations, the voltage varies even from region to region. Travelers find it extremely challenging to establish what kind of adaptor (or voltage transformer) is required for their journey as a result. To the best of our knowledge, we created this list to provide you with a rough overview of the plug and socket kinds that are utilized across more than 200 nations and locations. No single list could, however, cover all areas and be 100 percent correct due to the vast number of places in the world and constantly evolving legislation. The accuracy and timeliness of the information given here are not warranted by us. It is still your job to conduct additional, in-depth study on adapters for your trip, so you shouldn’t rely exclusively on the information in the list. If you’re a US or Canadian visitor and you don’t see Type D or M in that area, our adaptor will still function as long as your equipment is dual voltage or utilizes the same voltage. You should conduct extra investigation if you see Type D or M. You can message us for more details as well.

DO NOT USE HIGH POWER APPLIANCES

Safety

• Check Compatibility: Before using the adapter, ensure that it is compatible with the country’s electrical outlets you are visiting. The adapter should have the correct plug configuration to fit into the local outlets.
