Universal Travel Adapter for Japan

Japan uses Type A and B sockets at 100 V, 50/60 Hz. A US two-pin plug fits a Japanese Type A socket directly; the Type A slider on these adapters does the same while adding USB-C charging and a universal outlet for plugs from other countries.

Before you travel

These adapters are not a voltage converter. Use them only with devices rated for 100–250 V.

Hair dryers, straighteners and curling irons must support wide voltage before they are plugged in.

A 10 A fuse protects the adapter; some models include a spare fuse (see specifications).
