Core Features & Specifications
Here are the typical features you'll find across most models:
- Worldwide Compatibility: Most adapters include the four major plug types (A, C, G, I), covering over 150 to 220 countries including the US, UK, Europe, and Australia. They generally accept input voltages from 100V to 250V, matching the standard range of modern electronics.
- Built-in USB Ports: A key convenience feature. Standard models usually have 2 to 4 USB ports (often a mix of USB-A and USB-C) to charge phones and tablets without needing separate chargers. Higher-end models offer Power Delivery (PD) and Quick Charge (QC) for fast charging laptops and phones, with outputs ranging from 17W to 100W+.
- Safety Mechanisms: Look for an integrated fuse (commonly 6A to 10A) to protect against power surges, often with a spare included. Safety shutters are also standard to prevent children from inserting objects into the socket.
