What is a travel converter?

Travel converters are called conversion sockets in electrical engineering. The plug on one side is called male, and the socket on the other side is called female. It is an electrical product that needs to be used when traveling abroad. Since each country has different socket standards, it serves as a switch between plugs and sockets in different countries or regions, so that electrical appliances can obtain power smoothly. Therefore, people usually call this type of conversion socket a travel converter. Popular travel converters generally have no function of changing voltage.

Conversion sockets are also divided into AC conversion sockets and DC conversion sockets. People usually refer to travel converters as AC conversion sockets in the electrical industry. There are many types of travel converters, including single plugs, multiple plugs (multi-function, global communication), and transformer functions. As there are many varieties, consumers need to make a reasonable choice based on their own usage. If you only go to one country, choosing a single travel adapter will be more portable and cost-saving; if you go to multiple countries, choose a multi-functional one that is more suitable. Generally, a variety of plugs will be integrated in one body, so that it will not be necessary. It is troublesome to bring multiple plugs.
