I have a portable radio from England that has a female input requiring a two prong connector. Do I need more than this transformer?

This is all you should need as far as voltage conversion is concerned. I'm not an expert on this topic but it is possible you will hear a 60Hz background hum on your radio if you use it in a country that has a 60Hz power supply (e.g. the US). The radio is probably set to filter out the 50Hz line frequency noise in the UK. But, the filter may be wide enough to also filter out the 60Hz line frequency.If this is a portable radio, you probably do not need a 300W converter. You could check the label on the radio to see how much power it consumes. A lower powered (and less expensive) converter such as Seven Star SS630 100-Watt Universal Travel Voltage Power Converter might suffice.Best wishes.

Ideally you should use the Innotek Direct Plug-in Class 2 Transformer: model 0400036-1, Input AC 120V 60Hz 7W, Output AC 12V 200mA although I believe a Radio Systems plug-in AC/AC adaptor will work

I don't believe the converter would be sufficient. I got a transformer converter- which is rated for "electronics".It's a bit heavy, but it is a reliable device. I also found it on Amazon, so search for converter/adapter for electronics.

If your country specific adapter plug will not accept the thee-prong plug from the power strip you will need to buy a 3-prong to 2-prong adapter in order to plug the strip into your Uk adapter plug.

As long as you have the correct case or plug you should be fine. It's just the one side of a transformer.

You will need a transformer these machines are designed for US 110 voltage. I believe the UK is 220.

I too am confused by the question. In the US, adapters are generally used to adapt two prong female (US) to three prong female (with the ground prong). So, maybe the answer is that you do not need a "adapter" (not really a true converter) at all, as you can plug in either a 3 prong male plug or a 2 prong male plug into this device (if within power limits).

You'll need a transformator to do so. Not worth the headache. There is a version suitable for 220 volts. Look for them

You only need to buy an european plug adapter (for any electrical machine) and you'll be ok because the transformer accepts 240 volt input.

No, this is all you need except the appropriate adapter for whatever country you are in that has 220 voltage and want to change it to 110 to keep from frying your electronics.

yes - you need a converter - check voltage/current needed on unit, get one from amazon, or goodwill - radio shack will cost more!

Hi Karthik, according to the manual that came with it, the product switches voltage automatically, so the only thing you will need is an adapter, NOT a transformer.

The item uses switching power supplies on both sides. I checked the base and that transformer says it will take a 240v input though prong adapters would be required

No there is only an unearthed US 2-pin plug but you just need to attach a plug adaptor for your country because the unit will work of other typical voltages - -240v to 250v - without a transformer. You can easily get an adapter here (Australia) for $5 so I assume you can also in the UK for a few pounds.

If your machine only operates on 110-120 voltage, the answer is yes. However, many electronic devices operate on dual voltage, and do not need a transformer/converter. Check your machine/device, and if the power adapter or other area of the machine indicates "input 110-220v," you do not need a converter/transformer. If it only indicates "input 110v," then you do need a converter/transformer.

This Is easy to get done. Even If you know nothing about It, go to an electronic supply or a radio shack and ask them what you need. They will give you any adapter/s that you may need. Good luck!

I use a 12 v. DC power transformer. This works fine but you will need to solder the connections.
