Why does this adaptor not have an earthed pin
The TOSCA TCA067 is specifically designed for non-earthed (2-pin) Australian and New Zealand plugs only.
The reason TOSCA doesn't include a 3-pin Australian socket is likely the same reason most Australian-approved Japan adapters don't:
- Most Japanese power outlets are only 2-pin.
- Australian electrical standards generally do not permit an adapter that accepts a 3-pin earthed Australian plug and converts it to a 2-pin unearthed plug, because the earth protection is lost.
"The TCA067 is intended for charging phones, tablets, cameras, power banks and most laptop chargers that use 2-pin plugs. It is not designed for appliances requiring an earth connection, as standard Japanese power outlets generally do not provide an earth pin."
