Bought the Apple world Travel Adapter KIt, but I cannot tell difference European one and Brazil. One has

The Apple World Travel Adapter Kit has two adapter that look exactly alike. One is for Europe and the other for Brazil. One has the #A1557 and the other one appears to be A1556 or A1558.

Which is the one for Europe? Thank you.

The official plug type for Brazil is a Type N, which looks like this:




From what you are describing, it sounds like the Apple "Brazil" adapter leaves off the center grounding pin, making the adapter in effect a "C" Type, which is used in most of Europe. So, you may have 2 adapters that will work in either Brazil or Europe.


The Apple Kit is a nice looking package, but in general you only get one adapter that will work in a given country. For example, my wife and I travel with a laptop, an iPad, two iPhones and we need an adapter for the hair dryer and razor as well. So, most travelers find that they really need 4-5 adapters in a given country.


We have 5 adapters for use in Europe and they cost about $20 in total.


I don't know why Apple assumes that only one person will be using one device at a time in most countries.
