Power adapter ProXtend PC-GFFM-000 UK to Schuko F/M 250V 16A adapter

The ProXtend PC-GFFM-000 power adapter converts a UK (BS 1363) plug into a Schuko F/M connection, allowing equipment with a UK-style plug to be used with Schuko sockets rated at 250 V. Designed for straightforward plug type conversion, the adapter supports currents up to 16 A and is compact enough for travel or temporary installations. It provides a mechanical and electrical interface without altering the device wiring and is intended for use where plug compatibility rather than voltage conversion is required.

Advantages

The adapter offers a compact form factor that is easy to carry and store. It supports mains voltages up to 250 V and currents up to 16 A, making it suitable for a wide range of household and small professional appliances. Installation requires no tools: the UK plug simply inserts into the adapter and the adapter plugs into a Schuko socket, providing immediate electrical contact. The design maintains the grounding connection required by many appliances and reduces the need for replacing power cords or retuning devices to fit local outlet types.

Suitable for

• Using UK-plugged laptops, chargers and small appliances with Schuko sockets
• Temporary equipment setups in offices, meeting rooms and exhibition spaces
• Travel and short-term stays where local sockets differ from device plugs
• Service technicians and installers who need quick plug compatibility

Key specifications

• Input plug type: UK BS 1363 (female housing for UK plug)
• Output socket type: Schuko F/M compatible interface
• Rated voltage: 250 V AC
• Rated current: up to 16 A
• Ground/earth continuity maintained
• Compact, portable housing for travel and temporary use

How to use

To use the adapter, insert the UK-plugged device into the adapter’s UK inlet until it seats securely. Then plug the adapter into a Schuko wall socket. Ensure the connection is firm and that the device’s power switch is turned off before making or breaking the connection. Check that the local supply voltage matches the device specifications; this adapter does not perform voltage conversion. For safety, avoid using the adapter with high-power appliances that exceed the 16 A rating or devices that require built-in voltage conversion.

Usage recommendations

Use the adapter for plug-type compatibility only. Verify device voltage compatibility with the local mains supply before connecting. Do not use the adapter in damp or wet environments, and avoid continuous operation of high-power heating or motor-driven equipment that could approach the rated current. Inspect the adapter for damage before each use and discontinue use if housing, contacts or insulation appear compromised.
