Description
110 V NEMA 5-15 Plug to CEE 16 A Yellow Socket Adapter (2P+E)
Safely power CEE 16 A 110 V site equipment or onboard tools from a US NEMA 5-15 outlet. This adapter converts a NEMA 5-15P plug to a CEE 110 V 2P+E yellow socket, ideal for workshops, film sets, and the cruise ship industry where American 110–125 V single-phase circuits are standard. The upstream circuit limits current to 15 A for safety.
Where to Use It
Perfect when your tool or extension lead has a CEE 16 A yellow plug but only US NEMA 5-15 receptacles are available. For the reverse setup, see the 110 V 16 A Plug to NEMA USA Mains Socket Adapter. Need distance or extra outlets? Add the HDIUK North American 3-Wire Extension Lead or our Premium 6-Outlet US Power Strip with Surge Protection.

FAQs
Does the HDIUK NEMA 5-15 to CEE 16 A Adapter convert 230 V to 110 V for site or ship tools?
No – it only changes the plug format from NEMA 5-15 to CEE 110 V 16 A and does not alter voltage or frequency.
Can the HDIUK NEMA 5-15 to CEE 16 A Adapter deliver a full 16 A load safely from a US outlet?
No – the maximum load is restricted to the 15 A limit of the NEMA supply and its breaker.
Is the HDIUK NEMA 5-15 to CEE 16 A Adapter suitable for 110–125 V cruise ship and site equipment?
Yes – it’s ideal for 110–125 V single-phase systems on cruise ships or US job sites where CEE 16 A tools are used.
Can I use the HDIUK NEMA 5-15 to CEE 16 A Adapter with a US power bar for multi-device setups?
Yes – you can connect our Premium 6-Outlet US Power Strip if the total load stays within 15 A.
