I bought this is universal travel adapter from Biltema to be able to connect my laptop power supply with grounded schuko plug hopefully safely to UK power outlets. Many other travel adapters only work well with ungrounded loads (typically either accept only ungrounded plug or leave ground not connected). This is one rare product that seems to handle grounding properly.
It supports many outlet types to schuko conversion. Just turn to right position – output makes contact with one plug on one side of adapter.
Pros: Universal adapter for many uses. One of the rare with proper grounding. It feels to be solid and well built. When turning the selector, power is cut before ground and connected before power. This worked well as promised.
Cons: I did not see fuse in uk adapter (would be a good idea to have 13A fuse in UK, fuse not needed in other countries). The power source selection can turn quite easily – can turn accidentally and cut your power output if you are moving cables. Two times more expensive than the ungrounded model.
Funny product detail: This can even “convert” schuko to schuko! (No conversion)

Japan does not utilize establishing pins so ensure you have a connector that can oblige that. Connect connectors are generally accessible to Japan, however I would propose http://www.domyassignmentforme.com buying no less than one preceding you leave so you don’t need to sit idle shopping toward the start of your outing.

I hope that travel adapter was useful for you. I can’t imagine how I could use it. Anyway, this was not what I expected to find here. I am in despair and I need sufficient writing assistance and it it is not that easy to find a high-quality specialist.

One issue is that UK connector dies not seem to have the 13A (or lower) fuse that should be in this type of adapter to meet UK regulations.
Also size of pins might not be exactly right.
And are spings on ground allowed?

You can’t have it from original source I bought it from anymore no matter if you travel or not.
Biltema does not seem to sell this product anymore.
