This adapter is extremely generic without loose terminal and finger protection, it does have earth pass-though which is a good thing; but it will not have a good grip because it support so many different plug types in only three generic slots; we don't recommend this adapter unless no better alternative can be found. i.e. a more expensive one.

a lot of power such as a hair dryer, hair straightener or curling iron, which can be dangerous to use with these devices. This is a very cheap adapter without loose terminal and finger protection; it does have earth pass-though (good); but no good grip because of so many different supported plugs. We recommend to use a more expensive option if available. Adapters you can buy Perfect! This is very good! You will not need any sort of voltage adapter (they are always big, heavy and they can't handle too much energy. i.e. might have problems with hairdryers). You can plug your devices to the electric network grid in Switzerland without requiring a voltage adapter. Plugs Type Different plug systems

International electrical standards and regulations" (PDF). Legrand. pp.14, 22, 30 . Retrieved 16 November 2015. The CEE7/16 unearthed plug is used for unearthed appliances. It has two round 4 by 19mm (0.157 by 0.748in) pins, rated at 2.5A. There are two variants. We keep "D" and "M" plugs in our database as we don't know your exact destination and you might find one next to a bed table. As a rule of thumb, you will probably be fine with the type "G" in hotels and big cities.

All of the major towns have extensive public bus systems, and the larger cities have convenient train and tram networks as well. Uber is also available in the main cities. Nowadays, many electronic devices like hair styling tools or chargers for a laptop, phone, iPad, tablet or e-reader NEMA-1 plugs have two parallel blades and are rated 15A at 125volts. They provide no ground connection but will fit a grounding NEMA5-15 receptacle. Early versions were not polarised, but most plugs are polarised today via a wider neutral blade. (Unpolarised ACadaptors are a common exception.)

( May 2021) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message) If the standard voltage in your country is in the range of 100V-127V (which is most common in the US, Canada and countries in South America) you might need a voltage converter in Switzerland.

Most of North America and Central America, and some of South America, use connectors standardized by the National Electrical Manufacturers Association (NEMA). The devices are named using the format NEMA n-mmX, where n is an identifier for the configuration of pins and blades, mm is the maximum current rating, and X is either P for plug or R for receptacle. For example, NEMA5-15R is a configuration type5 receptacle supporting 15A. Corresponding P and R versions are designed to be mated. Within the series, the arrangement and size of pins will differ, to prevent accidental mating of devices with a higher current draw than the receptacle can support. High-power devices don't usually handle different voltages due to the high-currents involved i.e. anything that its main purpose involves generating heat (or cold) like hair driers, baby bottle warmers, kettles, etc. On the contrary, modern low-power devices are likely to auto-detect and auto-adapt to different voltages i.e. usb chargers, laptop chargers, etc.

The NEMA 5-20AP variant has blades perpendicular to each other. The receptacle has a T-slot for the neutral blade which accepts either 15A parallel-blade plugs or 20A plugs. a b JIS C 8303-1993, Plugs and Receptacles for Domestic and Similar General Use, Japanese Standards Association, 1993 The actual rating of non-rewirable plugs is marked according to the fuse fitted by the cord set manufacturer, the fuse rating being determined by the rating of the flexible cable.
