Does this accept polarized american plugs?

Yes, Jonathan .... but the socket itself is not polarized; that is, it accepts the plug both orientations. So u have to be mindful which side the wider pin should be at when plugging in the plug. Hope tis helps.

Yes, as the others have said, it accepts two prong polarized American plugs (either direction) and three prong Polarized American plugs. It takes a little learning to know the direction the shutters want to be pushed, especially with completely squared off American plugs. I notice that most of the newer plugs are beveled a little which helps with the shutters.

Yes, it does. I have used it in France and Italy and am very happy with the product.

P.S. you will need a polarized adapter to plug it in the foreign outlet. I just tried it with a polarized American plug and it worked in one of the ...(I don't know what the holes are called!) but not in two of them.

Yes, absolutely. I recently traveled with it to India. I needed an adaptor to plug it into the electrical outlet in the hotel, but all of my chargers and power supplies for my U.S. devices (HP laptop, Apple iPad, Motorola smartphone...) were able to connect to this power strip with their polarized American plugs. It is a great product that I will take with me everywhere I travel in the world.

Yes, it does - although it accepts them in both directions, which I assume defeats the polarization. It didn't bother the lamp I was using to test, but I don't know about more delicate electronics. But since just about everything electronic these days uses an AC adapter/brick I don't anticipate problems.

Not if you plug it into the top outlet. But it cannot be plugged in upside down in the bottom outlet because the plug is polarized.

Yes. It has a standard US mains plug for 120VAC, with two (polarized) tines.

I'm not sure what you're asking but if you're asking about the sockets, then they'll accept all the plug types: US, European round and even UK square.

The product picture shows polarized prongs, if you magnify it (hover mouse over the picture) you can see. Assuming this is an accurate picture, looks like the answer to your question is "Yes."

I believe so but you will need an adapter from American plugs to British plugs.

This iron has a polarized plug ( one blade is larger than other) for 120v and European plug for 220v. As a safety feature, this plug will fit into a polarized outlet only one way. Info from page 2 of manual

It will work with 2 & 3 prong plugs, such as a power cord for a computer (these are usually 3-prong) and it will work with iPhone chargers, and other chargers such as blue tooth. What it will NOT accept are 2-prong, polarized plugs (where one of the prongs is wider than the other). However, to use a polarized plug in the power strip, you would first plug in a UK or European adapter into the power strip and then plug your polarized plug into the adapter....that works fine. We did that on a trip to UK and France...we took 3 or 4 adapters with us. This power strip came in very handy to charge multiple devices as we often found that some hotel rooms had few available outlets. Also, you will need one UK or European adapter to plug in the 3-prong cord for this adapter.

If you're using it for FTA, the answer is no. You'll likely need to change out the LNB to a universal LNB, because the polarization is different.

Yes it will. It is composed of 3 piece that you can link to your needs. If you are in Europe (France for instance) and have American apparels, you can set it in a way to plug in the French outlet and use american stuff. But yes it has 3-prong plug both kinds!

Yes, these adapters accept standard U.S. three prong plugs. They're well made too!

It will work. The squared version of this is not part of the C7 standard. (Search IEC320C7 in Wikipedia for details) the squared side allows it to be polarized, but there is no standard as to the polarization.

Check the power slot on your device, if it has one square side and one round side it will fit. Most all manufactures use these standardized plugs the difference being if the device needs polarized or non-polarized power supply. I have bought many of both for older stereo devices I buy and resell and they all take one of these standardized plugs.The one pictured is a polarized version (one square/one round side).

No. It has 2, one side thicker than the other so it only fits into a polarized socket.

Yes, it will accept the polarized plugs (one blade is wider than the other).

It's about a 1/2" to wide; the connectors are polarized. It doesn't work with a 2 to 3 prong converter, either and they're slightly too long to work in a 1 to 3 socket adapter. A small power strip will work.

The one that I bought from Amazon had an American style electrical plug. You might be able to use it with a power converter and a plug adapter though. Don't waste your money on this thing. It does nothing. I returned mine the very next day.
