๐Ÿ‡น๐Ÿ‡ฉ Chad to ๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ณ ChinaSome of your plugs fit, some don't. It's complicated.

Some of your plugs fit China's sockets directly. Grounded or chunkier ones need help.

What to pack

Plugbert recommends

Type A (US 2-pin) adapter

Some plugs from Chad fit the Type A, C and I sockets in China and some don't, so pack an adapter. A Type A (US 2-pin) adapter fits 1 of the 3 listed socket families there. For grounded devices, get a Type I (Australian) adapter for a compatible grounded outlet instead; it does not fit every listed outlet. Socket variants can differ; check the actual outlet and adapter rating.

For equipment requiring earth, choose a Type I (Australian) adapter for a compatible grounded outlet. Check its supported inputs and rated load. A two-pin output cannot provide an earth connection.

Tip: a "universal" travel adapter may be useful for several destinations. Check its wall-side plugs, grounding and power limits against your trip.
