SKROSS Country Adapter — Europe to USA
Earthed travel plug adapter for the Type B socket used in the USA, Canada and many more countries
Type B OutputSchuko · Euro · French Input15 A · up to 3750 WEarthed
The SKROSS Country Adapter Europe to USA (part number 1.500203C-E) is an earthed travel plug adapter that lets devices with a European Schuko (Type F), Euro (Type C) or French (Type E) plug connect to the North American Type B socket. Because Type A/B is the standard in the USA, Canada, Mexico, the Bahamas, Colombia, Costa Rica, Cuba and many more countries, the same adapter covers most of the Americas. At 53 g it is light and pocketable, yet carries up to 15 A. It adapts the plug shape only and does not convert voltage — important, because US and Canadian mains run at about 120 V. Typically in stock with fast delivery across Cyprus.
Compatibility — please read
This is a plug adapter, not a voltage converter. The USA and Canada run on roughly 120 V, while Europe runs on 230 V. Only use it with dual-voltage devices rated 100–240 V — which covers almost all laptop, phone and camera chargers. A European 230 V-only appliance (such as some hairdryers or kettles) will not work correctly on US voltage and needs a separate voltage transformer.
Key Features
Type B for the USA and Beyond
One output fits the North American Type B socket used in the USA, Canada, Mexico, the Bahamas, Colombia, Costa Rica, Cuba and many more destinations.
Earthed, Light and Compact
A 3-pole earthed connection rated up to 15 A in a pocketable 53 g housing — reliable power for chargers and dual-voltage travel devices.
Accepts Three EU Plug Types
Works with Schuko (Type F), Euro (Type C) and French (Type E) input plugs, and is designed in Switzerland to SKROSS quality standards.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does this adapter convert voltage for the USA?
No. It only changes the plug shape so a European device fits a US Type B socket. The USA and Canada use about 120 V, so use it only with dual-voltage devices rated 100–240 V; a 230 V-only device needs a separate transformer.
Will my laptop and phone charger work in the USA with it?
Yes. Almost all laptop, phone and camera chargers are rated 100–240 V, so they work safely through this adapter on US/Canadian 120 V mains.
Which countries can I use it in?
Anywhere using the North American Type A/B socket — including the USA, Canada, Mexico, the Bahamas, Colombia, Costa Rica and Cuba, among many others.
Singular Expert Insight
This is the simplest choice for European travellers heading to the USA or Canada. The key thing to remember is voltage: it changes the plug only, and North America runs at ~120 V, so it is perfect for dual-voltage chargers but not for a 230 V-only hairdryer. If you travel to several regions on one trip, a SKROSS World Travel Adapter is more flexible; for charging multiple devices, look at the USB versions.
Buyer’s Guide
Buy it if
You are travelling to the USA, Canada or another Type B country and need to plug dual-voltage European devices into local sockets.
Skip it if
You need to power a 230 V-only appliance in the US (you need a transformer), or you visit many different plug regions on one trip.
Also consider
A SKROSS World Travel Adapter for worldwide coverage, or a USB travel charger if you only need to charge phones and tablets.
