Hi

Thanks

It's a matter of preference, and I like things integrated, wherever possible.

Imagine you have a 2-pin plug jutting out from the wall socket for example especially where space is a constrain. Furthermore the mounting of the 2 pin inside this adapter is secure unlike those where you just push it in.

 

Lastly, after you have position and secure the 2 pin inside the adapter, you closed the cover and secure it with a screw. You would not be able to pull the 2-pin plug out from the adapter because the cover would prevent that.

 

I am using it. By chance I came across this, I bought 5.

then why not just permanently cut and change the plug to 3-pin type?

haha, ya this is the first time i am seeing this as well, just a fancy 3 pins adapter for a 2 pin plug. manufacturer nowadays really nothing to differential their products with their competitors, fancy coming out with such adapter....must hand it to them

 

actually if it is a space constraint, can just cut off the 2 pin plug and wired it into a 3 pin plug...the top pin is just the ground, which is unused in the adapter anyway.

Not sure safety wise, is this adaptor equivalent to the 3-pin plug?

 

As far as the electrical appliance is concerned, it is still a 2-pin plug connected to a 3-pin adaptor only - without the earthing wire. Can anyone enlighten?

ya, it is just a fancy 2 pin plug. from the pic, the earth pin(top pin) is black probably made of plastic whose function is just to lift up the plastic shield protecting the live and return socket point( where the 2 copper colour pins are inserted into), when the plug is inserted into the wall socket. yep, no safety fuse for this adapter plug.
