- 3 USB-C & 2 USB-A Ports: Charge up to five devices at once—three USB-C ports deliver up to 3A per port, while two USB-A ports provide 2.4A each—perfect for smartphones, tablets, wearables, cameras, and more.
- Safety First Design: Equipped with a built-in 10A fuse, safety shutters on AC outlets, separate plug lock system, and certified by RoHS, CE, and FCC standards for safe operation.
- Cruise-Friendly & Compact Build: Lightweight and portable design makes it suitable for air travel and cruise ships, though it lacks surge protection capabilities.
- Replaceable Fuse System: Includes access to a spare fuse compartment labeled “SPARE & FUSE” for easy maintenance if the fuse blows due to overload or fault conditions.
lil>Versatile AC Outlet: Accepts various regional plugs including EU, UK, AU, and China types. Note that it does not convert voltage; only dual-voltage devices (labeled “100-240V, 50/60Hz”) can be safely used.

Benefits & Use Cases
This adapter is ideal for frequent travelers visiting major destinations like France, Germany, Italy, Australia, the United Kingdom, and the United States. It’s particularly useful for those carrying multiple gadgets such as laptops, smartphones, e-readers, Bluetooth headphones, fitness trackers, and digital cameras. The inclusion of both AC outlets and high-speed USB ports means users can simultaneously charge larger devices like laptops while keeping smaller peripherals powered without needing multiple chargers. Since it accepts various plug types natively, there’s no need to carry additional plug adapters when switching between regions.
Note that this adapter is intended primarily for low-to-mid power consumption devices. High-wattage appliances exceeding 2000W—such as hair dryers, electric kettles, or curling irons—should be avoided even if they support dual voltage due to potential risks and possible fuse activation. Always verify your device’s input specifications before use abroad.
Important Notes
- Not a Voltage Converter: This adapter does not change voltage levels. Only use with devices marked “100-240V, 50/60Hz”. Devices requiring single-voltage input must not be used unless confirmed compatible by manufacturer guidelines.
- Excluded Countries: Not usable in India (requires Type D plug) or South Africa (requires Type M plug).
- High-Power Appliances Caution: Even if a hair dryer states dual voltage, using it above 2000W may trigger the internal fuse as a protective measure. Most manufacturers do not produce dual-voltage versions above this threshold for safety reasons.
- Maintenance Tip: If the AC outlet fails to work, check for a blown fuse. Access the bottom panel marked “SPARE & FUSE” to replace it. Additional fuses can be purchased by searching “TA-105C Replacement Fuse” on Amazon—ensure you select Epicka’s 10A-rated fuses for compatibility.
- Laptop Charging Support: Works with most laptops that support dual voltage; no separate converter needed when traveling internationally.
