US-EU Plug Adapter (KHL-0902) replacement cover by DHS_74

Last crawled date: 3 years, 1 month ago

A replacement part for a stock US to EU Plug Adapter (rectangular - model KLH-0902), to make it compatible with the Europlug (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Europlug) and thus fits into the EU's two-pole diamond-shaped sockets.
Note: The outer dimensions of the model are slightly bigger than a plug should be according to the specification, but it still easily fits into all my sockets.
I have got several (two-pole) appliances with a US power adapter (e.g. Chromecasts), which can be operated on the voltage in the EU power network, but cannot be plugged into the EU sockets directly. So, I obtained some (two-pole) adapters. Most of them are model KLH-0902, which is rectangular and can only be plugged into the round three-pole sockets (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AC_power_plugs_and_sockets#CEE_7_standard), but not into the quite common two-pole versions.
However, the adapters KLH-0902 can be dismantled and the original rectangular cover can be replaced with a diamond-shaped one printed from this model, so that it fits the socket.
Warning: High voltage! Electric shock hazard! Use at your own risk! Requires a qualified electrician! Although the model represents an adapter with the same safety level as the original adapter, the quality and safety of the resulting product depends on the 3D printing process. Therefore I cannot be blamed for any damage or injuries caused!
