travel adapters
Foreign outlet bridges
Travel adapters are devices that allow electrical plugs from one country to fit into wall outlets of another.
They change the physical shape of the connection but typically don't convert voltage: I needed a travel adapter for my American laptop in France.
Some combine adapter and voltage converter functions.
Also called plug adapters or outlet adapters.
