Why Do Different Countries Use Diverse Plug Styles?

In today's world, there are 15 common styles of outlets and plugs used internationally, all requiring a variety of plug adapters. The first detachable electric plug was invented by American innovator Harvey Hubbell II in 1904. Hubbell's innovation led to his 1912 invention of the modern day Type A plug or (NEMA 1-15) which is still in use today. The United States employs the 'Type A' and 'Type B' plug. Type A plugs feature two flat parallel pins of slightly varying sizes. These are also commonly known as NEMA 1-15. Type B plugs feature a grounded pin in addition to two flat parallel pins. These are also commonly known as NEMA 5-15. So why don't other countries adopt the same plug style?

There is no standard mains voltage throughout the globe, and also the frequency, that is, how many times a second the current changes direction, differs from place to place. In addition, many countries use different shapes, sizes, and types of plugs and sockets. However, those seemingly insignificant differences have some unpleasant consequences. The majority of appliances purchased overseas cannot be connected to the wall outlets at home. Buying an adapter from SIGNAL+POWER can help to overcome this problem.

Single-Region Travel Adapters: Streamlined Convenience

Single-region travel adapters provide a straightforward solution. These adapters cater to specific countries or regions that use identical sockets and voltages. While they are usually the most affordable option, keep in mind that choosing a single-region travel adapter may limit future flexibility.

Variations of single-region travel adapters include multi-way models, allowing you to plug in multiple devices simultaneously, as well as the option to pair a one-way single-region adapter with a multi-socket extension lead for multiple devices or higher power demand.

Multi-Region Travel Adapters: Embrace Versatility

For enhanced versatility, our multi-country or region plug adapters are an excellent choice. These slightly larger or more complex units feature different pins to accommodate various socket standards simultaneously.

The most common types of multi-region travel adapters handle a combination of European, Asian, UK, and North American standards. Just like single-region adapters, multi-region travel plug adapter versions can be single-way or multi-way to cater to your specific needs.

Travel Universal Adapters: The Ultimate Flexibility

Universal travel adapters offer unparalleled flexibility, making them suitable for use in the majority of countries worldwide. However, it's important to note that their larger size, compared to single or multi-region models, comes with added convenience and transport considerations.

Experience seamless connectivity during your travels with SIGNAL+POWER's range of travel plug adapters. Choose the adapter that best suits your needs and embark on your global adventures with confidence!

Frequently Asked Question

With a plug adapter, you can use your existing power cord with a different country's receptacle. Although plug adapters are available for temporary use (mainly for travel), they shouldn't be used for commercial purposes.

Make sure you know what voltage you need. Look at the charger, power brick, or plug of your device to determine its voltage. When you see a range or two voltages listed (e.g., 110-240V), your device can accept power from anywhere.

Residential and industrial power connectors are the two main types. Power connectors carry alternating current (AC) or direct current (DC). Power supplies can be directly connected to devices through AC connectors. For safety reasons, DC connectors usually come in standard sizes and cannot be interchanged.
