GERMAN SCHUKO OR EUROPEAN TYPE PLUG - SS409 changes GROUNDED USA type PLUG TO GERMAN TYPE

I recommend this round adapter for US 3-prong as well as 2-prong plugs. Why? Because it has a nice snug fit on both sides. This makes it much more stable in the Euro/Schuko socket unlike the flat 2-prong ones that in my experience tend to have a loose connection or even fall out of the socket - esp. if yours is a heavy cable or if it has one of those AD/DC converters at the plug pulling down on the adapter. Plus, this adapter has a nice lip which makes it easier to pull out of the socket. Good quality for the price. I paid mine $2.50/piece shipped -- make sure you don't overpay as there are many merchants selling at very different prices, some as high as $8/piece.Lastly, keep in mind, the schuko socket fits most European countries but not all - most notably UK, and Italy which have their own plugs.

Purchased this plug to use on a trip floating down the Danube.It turned out to be a very good and useful plug and was inexpensive.Good buy.Ed Benjamin is the author of  Cash In on the Obama $3 Trillion Spending Plan!: How to make large amounts of money by conducting business with or receiving grants from federal, state, and local governments

Was pleasantly pleased when it worked like a charm!

works

I will take it to Europe next month and will see how it works.

... you only get one. $9.99 is too much for one of these adaptors, you can find a better deal.Other than that, the adaptor works fine.
