Lesco Single Top Entry Adaptor 16A

The Lesco Single Top Entry Adaptor 16A is a specialised electrical converter designed for South African 3-pin (Type M) wall outlets. This compact unit provides a single top-entry port for euro-style 2-pin plugs, enabling a vertical connection that saves lateral space. It is rated for 16A input and ensures a secure fit for low-voltage electronic devices.

Ideal Use

• • Furniture Gaps: The vertical top entry 2 pin adapter design is perfect for sockets located behind couches, desks, or bedside tables where traditional front-facing plugs would be crushed.
• • Small Electronics: Specifically designed to power smartphone chargers, tablet adapters, and other small household appliances that utilise the slim euro adapter plug.
• • Travel and Hospitality: A convenient addition to hotel rooms or home offices to provide immediate 2-pin accessibility without needing a bulky multi-plug.

Safety Precautions

• • Low-Drain Only: Use this euro adapter only for light electronics; do not attempt to power high-wattage 3-pin appliances through a 2-pin converter.

Frequently Asked Questions

• • Will this fit the thick round 2-pin plugs? No, this is a top entry 2 pin adapter specifically for the flat euro-style plugs common on chargers and small lamps.
• • Does this adapter change the voltage? No, it simply changes the plug configuration. It does not convert voltage, so ensure your device is 220V–250V compatible.
• • Is it safe to leave plugged in? Yes, provided the connected device is in good working order and the adapter is not physically damaged.
• • Does it have surge protection? No, this is a standard electrical adapter. For surge-sensitive electronics, we recommend a dedicated Lesco surge-protected plug.
