AC WORKS 15 Amp Household Plug to 20 Amp T-Blade Female Adapter

AC WORKS 15 Amp Household Plug to 20 Amp T-Blade Female Adapter

Q: Do you have any longer than 1ft?

I think that if you want to run longer than 1 foot, you would buy a #12 wire extension cord, plug that into your 15Amp style outlet, then plug this adapter into the end of your #12 wire extension cord. But the only way I would want to use this adapter at all would be using it to connect to a 15Amp STYLE outlet, which is actually rated at 20 Amps, fed with #12 wire, fed by a 20 Amp breaker. I think the only purpose of this 20 Amp STYLE outlet & plug is to prevent hooking 20 amps to a #14 wire (cheapskate) circuit. IMHO it is only in recent history that they began distinguishing outlets fed by #12 from those fed by #14 wire by a special designed outlet style.

Q: I have a 20a breaker with a 15a household female socket (switch). Will this support 20a or downstep it to 15?

What do U mean "female socket (switch)"? It used to be that standard household outlets were designed for both 15 & 20 Amps; now they have special plugs and outlets for 20 Amps. #12 wire is rated at 20 Amps, #14 at 15 Amps; so if your breaker was properly installed, a 20 Amp breaker should feed at least #12 wire; 15 Amp breakers could feed #14 wire (cheapskate electricity). I never heard of any device to downstep amps like volts. If a device is rated for only 15 amps, it should be because the copper in it is not thick enough for 20 amps. The amps is determined by the load (applicances) attached. That ability to supply amps is limited by the wire thickness. My guess (ask manufacturer) is that this device is labeled limited to 15 amps only because it might be plugged into a wall socket that uses #14 wire inside the wall, so you would not want to run 20 Amps off of #14 wire. A load limit is not a "downstep."

Q: Can I use this adapter on my car? I have 5-20 cord. And wanted to connect this adapter to the wall.

There's can and should. A 15A outlet is rated for only a 12A continuous load. If your car is an EV or hybrid and you use this adaptor, it will draw 15 amps for hours through an outlet and breaker that are only designed for brief 15A loads. over time this can cause your home wiring to overheat.
