Do these adapters also convert the voltage? Or do they simply make it possible to plug a device into the wall?

the apple unit the plugs slip onto actually does the voltage conversion. these plugs then allow you to plug into the wall. with both you then get the proper voltage delivered to the laptop.

Im moving to Germany & have a mac book pro 60w magsafe power adapter - I assume this european adapter will let me use this w/o my computer frying out in any wall?

I am not sure if it converts the voltage. Nevertheless, I have used these adapters in GB, EU, China, Hong Kong & Thailand, and have not gotten any issues with my devices (macbook, ipods & iphone)

They don't need to convert as iPhone/ iPad is already dual voltage - so yes they just plug straight in to the foreign sockets

I'm not sure that the adapter itself converts the voltage or whether the conversion is in the i-phone or i-pad itself. Regardless, I used it in Ireland (they have 220 voltage) and I had no issues with mu i-phone.

The apple products themselves or the block on the macbook adapters convert the voltage internally. So you just need the plug adapter. This package is standalone for charging your Apple stuff abroad; when I was traveling I literally just used the plug adapter on my Macbook's power cord block. I hope that helps!

From my understanding they would automatically convert the voltage based on the region - this is the main reason I purchased them, on trip we took to Egypt one of the ladies on the tour had these and she had no complaints or problems, I actually borrowed hers to charge my iphone while we were there and had no problems, she was using them to charge both her iphone and iPad.

These are just different ends for different regions. The Apple power adapters are made for multiple voltages, so all you need is to swap out the ends, you don't need converters.

An adapter does not change the voltage. It just makes it possible to connect a plug to a socket that it otherwise wouldn't fit into. A converter converts the voltage. You don't always need a converter, but you often need an adapter if you want to use a converter. Somewhere on your appliance, there should be a label telling you what type of voltage it will handle. Some appliances will handle voltages found most places in the world, for example many mobile phones and laptops do not require a converter, but they often require an adapter.

As long as your adapter has the standard outlet that plugs into the wall, you will get power.If you're worried about safety, then I would get a power supply/surge protector in whatever country you're in, and use the adapter to plug into that. When I was in Europe, though, I had no problem using these adapters for my cell phone, kindle, and laptop (all American) on German and French grids.

No. This strip is NOT a (voltage) converter so whatever you plug into it must be able to accept the voltage that's coming from the wall socket.

Yes, you plug them directly into the wall. They are all 110 V grounded plugs.

I would say "NO" mainly because the plug that goes into the power source will only fit on a 120 volt socket. Also, the adapter itself will only operate on 120 volts.

Sorry, not so technical, so here are all the details those I can see. On the adapter, there is a small switch than can move from right to left, and on one side it shows 120V and the other side shows 240V. Further it shows as Input: 120V/240V AC 60/50Hz....hope these answer you question.

Probably not. This is a power adapter, not a power convertor. It will allow your device to plus in, but will not convert the 110v to 220v

I haven't been there & was only in England, but when I bought it it was called a US to UK adapter which means theoretically that it must work throughout the United Kingdom. It doesn't convert voltage, but only the international plug style. I would think it works every where in the UK.

It all depends on the wall adapter, as long as the wall adapter can be plugged into a 220v outlet and has an output of 5v 1-2amp. So check the adapter and you will find some very small print, if it says "input:110-220v..." if it does then your good.

I used a converter with built-in plug adapter. If you just change the plug you still have too much voltage (220) and could fry your laptop.

This unit does not convert current/voltage. It only adjusts for different international connectors. If the device will charge on local voltage this will effectively pass it thru.

These are simply adapters to allow you to use 220v outlets with US plugs. They do not convert the voltage to 110v (US Standard). That said, you can use your standard charger plug for your phone (one side plugs into the wall, via these adapters -- the other has the USB socket that you can use for your iphone's lightning cable). Just take a look at your charger and *make sure* it's rated for 110/220v dual voltage. It probably is, but always good to check ANY device you're going to plug into these universal plugs to be sure they can work on 220v commonly found outside the US. If they do, you're fine. But if you don't see "220vac" don't plug them in the wall unless you also have a voltage converter. These are simply adapters to allow you to use 220v outlets with US plugs.

I too am confused by the question. In the US, adapters are generally used to adapt two prong female (US) to three prong female (with the ground prong). So, maybe the answer is that you do not need a "adapter" (not really a true converter) at all, as you can plug in either a 3 prong male plug or a 2 prong male plug into this device (if within power limits).

Yes. Just power it with the usb connection. If you want to plug it into the wall you will need something like this. http://www.voltage-converter-transformers.com/product_info.php?category_id=10016467&products_id=10061337

Yes, if they are 110-240v you don't need a power converter. You can plug them directly into this strip, and plug the strip into the wall.

i think that means that you have to plug in the device to a powerful wall adapter instead of only 15V (im not sure about, make sure to contact favi entertainment)
