If you have been to Europe

can this adapter fit into the european power socket ? i am more concern on the two-pin, can the pins fit into their power socket ?
this type of adapter is so easy to find, it is available almost everywhere in malaysia

from my online research, this seems to be the right one for europe, but this kind of adapter is harder to find in malaysia

yes that metal sticking out from the wall outlet is the grounding line.
the plug will have a metal contact for that purpose.

tye huat or whatever electrical shops have a lot of these adapters. usually i also pack in a 3 port plug so that i can charge all my devices with just 1 adapter.

malaysias 2 pin plugs are compatible in germany, no need for any extras, just the 3pin wont fit without an adapter.

I have one universal. It is quite light. biggrin.gif

Actually, you might only need one?

You plug in the universal socket into the wall. Then you use a multiprong adapter; the local types. But that one is big and bulky. biggrin.gif

Anyway,

http://www.worldstandards.eu/electricity/p...-and-sockets/f/

This specifies the dimensions of the prongs and distance apart.

Compare with -

http://www.worldstandards.eu/electricity/p...-and-sockets/c/

Looks ok.

ok thanks, ya, cuz im curious whether this one can actually fit that round hole socket,
i know the pins can actually fit accurately into the two holes, but the shape of the socket is different, sked the both side of the plastic blocked the socket to go in.
