Do I need to get a new adapter/plug for my computer if I'm going to Europe from the US?

Greetings from Belgium James,

If you come to Europe, you should carry an adaptor to convert your two pin US connector to the various European Connector types.

You should be able to get a multi country adaptor from Radio Shack for a few Dollar, which should work on most European Mains Sockets.

Also, you should check if your Power Supply for your computer is capable of handling the various (higher) Voltages we use here in Europe. Normally, all your electrical appliances run on 110 Volts 60 Hertz, where as in Europe we run on about 230 Volts 50 Hertz. If it is a Laptop you are taking, you may find that the Power supply is capable of handling those Voltages.

I hope that this has helped you.

Kind regards

Alfons
