  • CE, RoHS and REACH compliant for safety
  • Compact black adapter for travel and desktop setups

Purpose and fit

The TeKit C8 to C9 adapter converts a figure-8 C8 inlet into a C9 outlet, letting you connect a C9-equipped device to a standard C7/C8 power cord. It suits travellers and office users who need to bridge this specific connector mismatch without carrying extra cables.

Upgrade context

It replaces improvised fixes such as forcing incompatible plugs or carrying separate leads for each connector type. The jump is worth it when you regularly switch between equipment that uses C8 inlets and C9 outlets and want a single, compact adapter rated at 2.5 A for both 125 V and 250 V supplies.

Practical limits

The adapter does not change voltage, so it cannot make a 125 V device safe on a 250 V mains supply or vice versa. It is rated for low-power loads only and must not be used with high-power appliances. CE, RoHS and REACH compliance covers the materials and construction, not voltage conversion.

Questions about this item

Will the C8 male end fit a standard IEC 320 figure-8 socket on my device?

Yes, the C8 male plug is a standard IEC 320 figure-8 2-pole connector that mates with any C7/C8 inlet.

Do I need any tools or wiring to install the C8-to-C9 adapter?

No tools are required; simply push the C8 male into the device inlet and the C9 female onto the power cord until both seats click.

How often should I replace the adapter if used at the rated 2.5 A 250 V load?

Inspect the contacts yearly; replace the unit if the housing cracks, pins discolour, or the fit becomes loose.
