Description
ACM EU 2 Pin to UK 3 Pin Plug (With Fuse)
This ACM adapter converts a European 2-pin plug to a UK 3-pin plug, and as the name says it includes a fuse. It is a simple, practical way to use chargers and other equipment supplied with EU plugs in UK sockets.
Many airsoft battery chargers and accessories are sold with European plugs. Rather than relying on a loose travel adapter, a fused converter like this gives a more secure fit in the socket and adds the protection of a fuse in the plug.
How to use it
Insert the EU 2-pin plug into the adapter so it seats fully, then plug the adapter into a UK socket. Check the product images and any markings on the adapter for how the plug is held in place and the fuse rating fitted.
Before plugging in equipment, check that the device is rated for UK mains voltage; this adapter changes the plug shape, it does not convert voltage.
Why a fused adapter
UK plugs are designed to carry a fuse, which protects the cable to the appliance if a fault occurs. Using a fused adapter keeps that protection in place when you use EU-plugged equipment, which is especially sensible for battery chargers.

Compatibility
Fits EU 2-pin plugs for use in UK 3-pin sockets. Plug shapes vary slightly, so check the plug seats fully and firmly. Only use it with equipment designed for UK mains voltage, and make sure the fuse rating suits the device.
Care and maintenance
Inspect the adapter regularly and stop using it if it is cracked, scorched or loose. Keep it dry, do not overload it, and replace a blown fuse only with one of the correct rating. Unplug it from the wall before removing the device plug.
Who is it for?
Anyone in the UK using battery chargers or other equipment supplied with a European 2-pin plug.
Please note: This adapter does not convert voltage. Equipment must be rated for UK mains.
