Travel Adapters
Buying a travel adapter or universal adapter
If your trip takes you to a country with different sockets, you will need a travel adapter. Going to one country? Then a single adapter is enough. If you travel often or to several countries, a universal adapter is handier.

- Travel adapter for the UK (2 pieces)
- Travel adapter EU to USA (2 pieces)
Universal adapters, for many countries
- With 4 USB ports: Universal Travel Adapter and Universal Adapter with USB
- With USB-A and USB-C: International Travel Adapter, Universal Travel Adapter and Universal Adapter with USB-C
- Without USB: Universal Adapter
What is a universal travel adapter?
A universal travel adapter lets you use Dutch plugs in foreign sockets. You put it between the socket and your device and select the right plug position for the country you are in. With one universal adapter you are ready for several destinations, handy if you travel often or visit several countries on one holiday.
What to look for in a travel adapter
- Destination: are you going to one country or several?
- USB ports: with USB-A and USB-C you can charge your phone, tablet or power bank directly, without a separate charger.
- Size: a compact adapter fits easily in your hand luggage or wash bag.
Which travel adapter do you need per country?
- United Kingdom and Ireland: type G
- United States and Canada: types A and B
- Australia and New Zealand: type I
- Switzerland: type J
In most European countries your Dutch plug simply fits (types C and F). If you are travelling to Thailand, Japan, South Africa, India or Indonesia, for example, check in advance which plug type is used there. With a universal adapter you are covered in many cases.
