My CLiPtec GZJ160 universal travelling plug adaptor with USB charger port

This 85 gram, light and compact CLiPtec GZJ160 universal travelling plug adaptor with USB charger port was purchased in Digital Mall at the cost of RM25.

Its 2 main functions are:

• International universal plug adapter that supports 150+ countries
• High power auto-switching USB charger for any electronic gadgets that support battery charging with USB

I find it to be a very handy travelling companion, as it can be used to convert the power plug from one type to another, and it can also be used to provide charging power for USB devices without the need for computer with USB port.

This is how it is in action charging my Garmin Nuvi 255w GPS navigator with its DC 5V 1A USB output.

This adaptor can be plugged into 3 types of socket with its detachable 3-in-1 design as shown below:

It supports 4 international plug standards, namely:

• Europe round pin
• UK
• USA
• Australia

this makes it supports for 150+ countries.

Even at home, we can still use it as a USB charger without the need of a computer to recharge the battery in GPS, handphone, digital camera, MP4 player, etc.
