240V Double Power Adaptors for Australian Mains Sockets
Shop double power adaptors and double power point adapters for Australian 240V mains sockets at Aus Electronics Direct. A double adaptor allows two compatible mains plugs to be connected to a single wall power socket, providing a convenient alternative when an additional outlet is required.
Our range includes 240V AC double adaptors in different configurations, including standard, left-hand, right-hand and vertical orientations. Selected models also incorporate surge protection to help protect connected equipment from electrical voltage surges according to the product's specifications.
When choosing a double power adaptor, consider the orientation of the sockets, maximum current and power rating, physical clearance around the wall socket and whether surge protection is required. The standard PB5121 240V AC Mains Double Adaptor, for example, is rated for 220–240V AC, 2400W and 10A, with SAA approval number SAA110950EA

What Is a Double Power Adaptor?
A double power adaptor is a plug-in electrical accessory that converts one compatible mains socket into two mains outlets. It plugs directly into an existing wall socket and provides two outlets for compatible electrical appliances.
Double adaptors are useful where two devices need to be connected but only one wall socket is available. Different designs can provide different socket orientations, making some models better suited to locations where plug direction or available wall space is important.
What is a double power adaptor?
A double power adaptor is a plug-in device that provides two compatible mains outlets from a single wall socket.
What is a double power point adapter?
A double power point adapter is another term for a plug-in double adaptor that allows two appliances to be connected to one mains socket.
Are double power adaptors suitable for Australian power points?
Products designed for Australian mains use should be checked for the appropriate Australian plug configuration, voltage, current rating and safety approvals.
What is the difference between a double adaptor and a powerboard?
A double adaptor typically provides two outlets directly from a wall socket, while a powerboard generally provides several outlets connected through a cable.
What is a vertical double adaptor?
A vertical double adaptor has its two mains sockets arranged vertically rather than horizontally. This can be useful where available wall space or plug orientation makes another configuration inconvenient.
What is a surge protected double adaptor?
It is a double adaptor incorporating surge protection designed to help protect connected equipment from electrical voltage surges according to the product's specifications.
How many appliances can I connect to a double adaptor?
A double adaptor provides two outlets, but the total connected electrical load must remain within the product's specified current and power ratings.
Can I use a double adaptor instead of installing a double power point?
A plug-in double adaptor provides a temporary or portable way to obtain an additional outlet. It does not replace a permanently installed electrical outlet.
