Bit of a electronics noob. Any local adaptors for taking an IP 44 plug to a standard NZ plug? Doens't have to be NZ based so failing that any options for overseas? I phoned jaycar and they couldn't help.

Thanks for your help.

Probably need a photo or diagram of what you are looking for.

IP 44 is an ingress protection rating. Basically, meaning it is "Splash Proof".

Lots of plugs and fittings will have an IP 44 rating, so we really need some pictures of the plug you are talking about.

This sounds like you're after a blue caravan to standard 240v 10a cable like this perhaps?

If not, we totally need more information.

Sounds like you are after a travel adaptor for an appliance from a foreign country? If so, the voltage rating or a photo of the electrical data plate would also help. Reason being is that some appliances need more than just a plug adaptor - some appliances also need voltage conversion. An example of this would be USA hair-drier/toaster/air-fryer/fan etc. They are strictly 110v and will not survive being feed with N.Z.'s 230v.

Also, doe the appliance have a removable cord (like a TV's cord is removable)? If so, a photo of the receptacle in the appliance helps because the most elegant solution can be a N.Z. version of the supply cord rather that a bulky adaptor.

Sorry everyone the box just said ip44 on the plug. I thought that was the plug type.

Its a neon Christmas tree light decoration that we got from Mitre 10 last year. Didn't unbox it last year. Unless my kids have run off with the adapter I'm a bit miffed!

Here are some pictures (hope they help)
