Chinese Electrical Receptor - Where to buy?

[brycesteiner]

Anyone have any idea where to get a Chinese Electrical Receptor?

You can see what it should look like. Right now my laminator uses a 220 to 110 converter for North American receptacles. The laminator works well with the converter but I would like this to be on a native 220 on it's own with no adapters.
Any ideas?

Cut the end off the cord and put a US standard 240 plus on the end. Better to do that than to install a Chinese outlet. On ours it needed 240v 20A so I put this on it

and used the same style outlet. This is like a regular plug but one blade is sideways. This is rated for up to 250v 20a. Do not confuse this with 120v 20a in which the other blade is sideways.

Anyways this should work for what you need unless you have a hot laminator in which case you would probably need a different plug for a higher amperage. Our laminator is just heat assist so 20a was fine.

That makes sense! I'm not sure why I didn't think of that.

Thanks!

I also doubt it's code putting in a socket like that since i don't think it's ul listed.

But agree replace the plug.
