    I'm reading on this Panasonic CF-AA1633A M7 power supply that it is an auto sensing power supply. So is there a part number out there for different detachable AC input cords? Specifically I'm looking for the plug types in Italy and Spain. I believe those countries use the same type.

    Any help is appreciated. I've search forever it seems like on Google and have yet to find what I need.

    I personally carry the USA plug cord for 110 and have two other end adapters for 220 I carry with me. They also make a small block that is like a swiss army knife for over seas travel. It has about every end there is in there.

    +1 on the above.

    If you google "US to European plug adapter" they are available at RadioShack/Walmart & most airport shops. :thumbsup:

    OK. I've got one of those adapter kit things. Last time I used it was in Bali and Japan, seemed to work just fine. I would like to be able to find the pieces that attach to the power supply, since I'm looking at a permanent move to Italy.

    In addition to the above....a considerable number of power supply manufacturers use/have used a C5 (Clover Leaf) plug which is probably available at every computer store in Italy. :)

    If you're absolutely desperate, I'll mail you an EU power cord. I've got dozens of the things.

    @BaRRmaley: this are the bad ones: If u pull on the original plug and the connector above is in the socket, there is the possibility to come in contact with the lifewire. Even if u mind, this will never happen on u, because u are the best, think on ur beloved ones! ;)

    Well, the normal US power cable that Panasonic provide (that I've seen) has a 3rd round pin above the 2 prongs for earthing!

    I actually ended up going here: International Power Cords and ordered cords for Italy, UK, and the Schuko plug. I think that should cover me. Thanks guys.
