Buy adapters & plugs online – for household, industry and smart home installations

Adapters and plugs are the invisible helpers in the electricity network. In a Swiss household you encounter different plug types every day: the classic type J plug, Schuko plugs from imported devices or the flat Euro plug. With a suitable adapter you can connect all devices safely and without makeshift solutions. At the same time, special mounting plugs are the first choice when you want to create a permanent, standard-compliant connection in distribution cabinets, machines or workplaces. The range includes simple household adapters as well as high-performance industrial and installation plugs – easy to order online with fast delivery throughout Switzerland and Liechtenstein.

Adapter types: travel adapters, Schuko adapters and mounting plugs

Travel adapters help you operate Swiss devices abroad and vice versa. Schuko adapters establish the connection between German Schuko plugs and Swiss sockets and are particularly useful in border regions and with many imported devices. Mounting plugs, on the other hand, are permanently installed connectors used in control cabinets, on machines or in building installations. High-quality brands such as Brennenstuhl, Bachmann and Max Hauri offer carefully designed, long-lasting solutions for each of these applications.

Industrial and installation adapters – robust connections for professionals

In the field of professional power distribution and industrial connectors, brands such as Mennekes, Phoenix Contact, Weidmüller and Harting lead the way. Their CEE plugs and adapters, terminal block solutions and heavy-duty connectors meet the highest requirements for IP protection, mechanical stability and current carrying capacity. These products are suitable for control cabinet wiring, construction site distribution boards and machine connections – and thanks to Emparo they are quickly available in Switzerland, even in small quantities or for single orders.

Quality, safety & product selection

Safety comes first with adapters and plugs. Look for tested quality according to Swiss and European standards (e.g. SEV, EN 60309) and for protective measures such as touch protection, higher IP ratings (IP44, IP54) and the correct current carrying capacity. The brand products available here offer thoughtful designs that ensure a permanent and safe power connection – whether in the household, when travelling or in demanding industrial environments.

Frequently asked questions
What should I look for when buying a travel adapter?
A good travel adapter should support the plug types of all the countries you plan to visit, have an integrated fuse and be as compact as possible. For Switzerland it’s practical to choose an adapter that accepts both Swiss type J plugs and European Schuko plugs.
Which plug types are used in Switzerland and in Europe?
In Switzerland the type J plug (SEV 1011) is standard, in most European countries the Schuko plug (type F). Additionally, the Euro flat plug (type C) is used for low-power devices. Suitable adapters help you connect devices from different regions safely.
What is a mounting plug and what is it used for?
A mounting plug is a fixed connector, usually mounted on a wall or in a device, that enables a long-lasting and safe power connection. It is often used in electrical installations, distribution cabinets or to connect machinery and equipment.
How do I choose the right adapter between Swiss and EU sockets?
Check compatibility with Swiss type J sockets and European Schuko or Euro plugs. A universal travel adapter or a fixed Schuko‑to‑Swiss adapter with integrated protective conductor and the correct current rating (usually 10 A or 16 A) is a safe choice for home and office.
Are adapters suitable for continuous use or only for short-term use?
That depends on the adapter. High-quality adapters from brands like Brennenstuhl or Max Hauri are often designed for continuous use and withstand long-term loads. Simple travel adapters, on the other hand, should not be operated permanently under full load. Pay attention to the manufacturer’s specifications and sufficient current carrying capacity.
What safety features should a good adapter or plug have?
Important safety features include touch protection (recessed contacts), child safety shutters, integrated overheating protection and robust insulation. Certifications according to Swiss and European standards (e.g. SEV, EN 60309) provide additional safety.
What is the difference between a Schuko plug and a Swiss plug?
The Schuko plug (type F) has two round contact pins and side earth clips, while the Swiss type J plug has three offset round pins and integrates the earth contact. As a result, Swiss plugs cannot be plugged directly into a Schuko socket, and vice versa – a suitable adapter is required.
Can I operate several devices at the same time with an adapter or a multi-socket outlet?
Yes, multiple adapters or power strips allow you to connect several devices to one socket. Always observe the maximum total wattage and the current carrying capacity of the adapter to avoid overheating and cable fires.
