The better plug for Europe is the hybrid version, that fits all over France, Spain and Germany. It has a hole for the French/Belgium earth pin and the side clips for everywhere else. Most pre made adaptors sold in the UK are fitted with this type.
Excellent video so much good needed information .Thanks for your patience for the info from video description aswell.Was wondering about which colour cable to which pin in Euro plug but you said any pin would work .Great ! Thanx again couldn’t have asked for better intro to the subject 🤘🇬🇧from TeesideUK
I don't know how this ended up in my recommended, but since I'm here: Actually, 230V except in the UK. Adaptors are a bad idea for anything more than a phone charger really. This one in particular, I don’t know why it says 10A on it, but it’s clearly a « Europlug » or CEE 7/16 which is rated for… 2.5A. Also, it’s not grounded. The cable you bought is not compatible with many European outlets, you should look for one that is compatible with both type F (German) and E (French) outlets, and for those the live wire need to be on the right as Type E is polarized ;)

What about reverse polarity if you connect the live and neutral willy nilly?
