outlet adapter
Socket shape changer
An outlet adapter is a device that lets you plug something into an incompatible electrical outlet.
Travel adapters convert between different countries' plug shapes: I needed an outlet adapter for my laptop in Europe.
Other adapters convert a single outlet into multiple sockets or change the plug configuration—three-prong to two-prong, for instance.
