Adaptor

(splitter) Connector which allows two or more electrical devices to be connected to a single power outlet. The connection is normally parallel, that is, each device is fed the same voltage, but the current is divided between them. Sometimes known as a "Twofer". A three-way splitter is known as a "Threefer". A Series splitter is also available where a voltage is shared equally between two loads. See Series Splitter, Jumper and Grelco.
