travel adapter

Outlet compatibility device

A travel adapter is a device that allows electrical plugs from one country to fit into wall outlets of another country.

It changes the physical shape of the connection but typically doesn't convert voltage: I need a travel adapter for my trip to Europe.

Also called a plug adapter or outlet adapter.
