Accessory for overseas travel

Answer:

ADAPTOR

Hint:

You might need this small device to plug in electronics in a foreign country.

Explanation:

This clue hints at something you’d pack when traveling abroad to plug in electronics. "Adaptor" fits because it’s a device that lets you connect to foreign power outlets—literally helping your gadgets "adapt" to different sockets. The wordplay is straightforward, using "overseas" to suggest international use and "accessory" to imply it’s an add-on item. Think of it as the bridge between your charger and a new country’s plugs.
