No. This is a plug adapter, not a voltage converter. It changes the physical shape of the plug so it fits into foreign outlets. Most modern electronics like smartphones, laptops, and tablets are "dual-voltage" (100–250V) and work perfectly with just this adapter. However, for single-voltage appliances (like some older hair dryers), you would still need a separate voltage converter.

It depends on the wattage and voltage of your device. This adapter has a maximum power rating of 1500W (at 250V) and a 6.3A fuse. Most travel-sized hair dryers and straighteners will work if they are dual-voltage. However, high-powered household hair dryers (often 2000W+) may exceed the 6.3A fuse limit. Always check the "Input" label on your device before plugging it into the AC outlet.

Yes! You can use the USB-A and USB-C ports to charge your mobile devices simultaneously while using the universal AC outlet for your laptop or another appliance. This "3-in-1" capability is designed to save you space and the need for multiple wall plugs in your hotel room.

The Elcostar adapter works in over 150 countries. Its integrated sliding system supports the four most common global plug types:
- Type A/B: USA, Canada, Japan, Mexico.
- Type C/E/F: Most of Europe (including Netherlands, Germany, France).
- Type G: United Kingdom, Ireland, Hong Kong, Singapore.
- Type I: Australia, New Zealand, China, Argentina.

Your safety is our priority. The adapter is made from flame-retardant material and features an integrated 6.3A fuse to prevent power surges. It also includes an internal shutter system (child safety protection) that prevents foreign objects from being inserted into the socket, and it is fully certified by CE, FCC and RoHS.
