How do you call this?

I call that a, "power strip", but without an adapter converting the US mains plug to your standard mains plug, I don't see how a power strip will solve your problem.

your

it.

Thanks.

I guess I will be able to cut the US end plug and put in place my local purchased one :-)

Ok, if you do that, how is the power strip going to help you? I dont think you will need it. The only thing you need is a plug that will fit your power outlet. (Not to mention the correct voltage setting on the input to the scope power supply (110/220 VAC) if it is not auto switching... John

I guess there's some misunderstanding somewhere.

The probe has a power supply that looks like a wallwart with your US 3 pins plug. I can't change it (look at Tek P6046 probe).

The plug I'll cut and change is the one that powers the power strip, so that I'll have a power strip with N US outlets and one French plug. Pb solved. And that way I'll be able to plug all my US probes I'll receive soon.

Oh, and I obviously won't buy surge protected ones :-).

If the probes have a US style power plug, they very likely (almost certainly) require 120V, so you will need a step-down transformer to convert your 240V to 120V, and a US-style power strip to plug into the transformer, and into which you can plug the probe power supplies.

pins

that

No, they can be wired 120V or 240V.

I've always called the plug strips, but power strips seem to be the more generally accepted name.
