Anybody know of any good US to UK power adapters?

[Shark Dentist]

I'm getting a PSU from the US and was wondering if somebody could link me a good US to UK power adapter for it on the UK and US sites.

Thanks in advance!

Most US power supplies are autosense input -- 90 - 250 VAC and 50 or 60 HZ. You may just need the appropriate cord. Check the website of the specific PSU you are getting, I bet you just need a cord.

I was just gonna get an adapter like this: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Cable-Mountain-US-Plug-Adapter-Black/dp/B001CNMI04/ref=sr_1_6?ie=UTF8&qid=1408385252&sr=8-6&keywords=us+to+uk+adapter

Would that work?

The NEWEGG spec page shows that this will handle 90 - 264 VAC and 47 - 63 Hz so what you need is something like http://www.amazon.co.uk/Female-Socket-Kettle-Monitor-Printer/dp/B003OD9XU8/ref=sr_1_1?s=computers&ie=UTF8&qid=1408390837&sr=1-1&keywords=uk+to+c13 to plug it in..... Your buddies might have an extra power cord ....

What's better?

It should come with leads.

I would ALWAYS have the "correct" power cord. Anytime there is an adapter, there is a chance of failure. Get the correct cord for your location and it will plug in and work. Why are you so interested in getting an adapter rather than the proper cord?

I will admit that I am not an expert on type of plug you will need for your mains, but get the correct mains plug to a "C13". It will plug into the power supply and it will be good to go....

Oh,I would much rather get the cable actually Would the cable you linked be fine?
Because I think I'll just get that one.

I don't know what the wall plug looks like. Only you can determine if that cable matches the wall plug. If it matches, then it will work.

The IEC end will always be the same so at most you may have to cut off the American 2 pin plug and replace it with a 3 pin one.
