Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

What is an adapter lead and why do I need one?

An adapter lead is a custom electrical cable that connects incompatible plug and socket types. They're essential when your equipment's power connector doesn’t match your power source—common in settings like RV parks, reefer containers, or film sets.

Are your adapter leads safe and compliant with Australian standards?

Yes. All adapter leads we sell are assembled by qualified electricians, tagged and tested, and made using components that comply with relevant Australian electrical safety standards.

What’s the difference between flat and round pin plugs?

Flat pins are typical in older or domestic-style industrial outlets, while round pins are commonly used in commercial or newer industrial installations. Our adapter leads convert between these types where required.

Can you make a custom adapter lead for my specific setup?

Absolutely. We specialise in made-to-order adapter leads and can build to your exact specifications—just reach out with the plug and socket types, amperage, and cable length you need.

What’s the benefit of using CEEform connectors?

CEEform (or IEC 60309) connectors are commonly used in Europe and in international equipment for their durability and IP-rated weather resistance. Our adapter leads allow Australian systems to interface with these connectors seamlessly.

Do you stock leads suitable for reefer containers?

Yes, we offer adapter leads specifically designed for reefer applications, including 4-pin and 5-pin configurations to suit reefer plug and socket types.

What industries typically use adapter leads?

Adapter leads are widely used by tradespeople, electricians, RV and caravan owners, event crews, mining sites, food vans, industrial kitchens, coffee roasters, and anywhere portable or mismatched power setups are needed.
