The power supply (voltage and frequency) and the types of outlets differ between countries, there is no international standard. Below is a list of outlet types, if you don't see your destination country mentioned, check the outlet type in Voltage and Outlet Types by Country chart.

Outlet Types

KINGSING

Use Adaptor Plug E108 from REI or a universal kit.

This ungrounded plug with 2 flat parallel prongs is standard in North and Central America. Though similar, the Japanese plug has 2 identical flat prongs, whereas the USA plug has 1 prong which is slightly larger. Therefore, USA plugs do not often work in Japanese outlets.

Although this plug is also standard in Japan, it is less frequently used than in North America. An ungrounded version of this plug is commonly used in Central America and parts of South America.

KINGSING

Use Adaptor Plug E106 from REI, or a universal kit.

This 2-wire plug is ungrounded and has 2 round prongs. It is popularly known as the Europlug. This is probably the most widely used international plug. The plug is generally limited for use in applications that require 2.5 amps or less. Since type C outlets are ungrounded, they are currently being phased out in many countries and replaced by type E, F, J, K or L. A type C plug fits perfectly in o a type E, F, J, K or L outlet.

Although type D is now almost exclusively used in India, Sri Lanka, Nepal and Namibia, it can still occasionally be found in hotels in the UK and Ireland. Do not attempt to connect anything to a round-pin outlet found in the UK or Ireland.

Use Adaptor Plug E106 from REI, or a universal kit.

Type F, commonly called the Schuko plug, is similar to type C except that it is round and has the addition of 2 grounding clips on the side of the plug. A type C plug fits perfectly in o a type F outlet.

KINGSING

Use Adaptor Plug E105 from REI, or a universal kit.

This plug has 3 rectangular prongs that form a triangle.

Use Adaptor Plug E106 from REI, or a universal kit.

The flat-bladed version of this plug is being phased out. In 1989, Israel standardized a new version of the type H outlet: the holes were made round in order to accommodate type C plugs as well.

KINGSING

Use Adapter Plug E107 from REI, or a universal kit.

This plug has a grounding pin and 2 flat prongs forming a V-shape. There is an ungrounded version of this plug as well, with only 2 flat V-shaped prongs. Although there are slight differences, the Australian plug mates with the outlet used in China.

KINGSING

Use Adapter Plug E106 from REI, or a universal kit.

This plug is similar to type C, except that it has the addition of a grounding pin. A type C plug works in a type J outlet.

KINGSING

Use Adaptor Plug E106 from REI, or a universal kit.

This plug is similar to type F except that it has a grounding pin instead of grounding clips. Denmark started phasing in type K outlets from 2008 forward. A type C plug fits perfectly in o a type K outlet.

KINGSING

Use Adaptor Plug E106 from REI, or a universal kit.

A type C plug fits perfectly in o a type L outlet.

KINGSING

This plug resembles the Indian type D plug, but its pins are much larger.

Brazil has no standard voltage. Most states use 127V electricity (Acre, Amapá, Amazonas, Espírito Santo, Mato Grosso do Sul, Maranhão, Pará, Paraná, Rondônia, Roraima, Sergipe and Minas Gerais). Other (mainly northeastern) states are on 220V (Alagoas, Brasília, Ceará, Mato Grosso, Goiás, Paraíba, Rio Grande do Norte, Santa Catarina and Tocantins). Although in most parts of the states of Bahia, São Paulo, Rio de Janeiro and Rio Grande do Sul 127V is used, the cities of Santos, Jequié, Jundiaí, São Bernardo do Campo, Novo Friburgo, Bagé, Caxias do Sul and Pelotas run on 220V. The states of Pernambuco and Piauí use 220V, except for the cities of Paulista and Teresina (127V).

Although the main voltage in Japan is the same everywhere, the frequency differs from region to region. Eastern Japan uses predominantly 50 Hz (Tokyo, Kawasaki, Sapporo, Yokohama, Sendai), whereas Western Japan prefers 60 Hz (Osaka, Kyoto, Nagoya, Hiroshima).

Saudi Arabia uses 110V in many parts of the country, such as the Dammam and al-Khobar area (situated in the eastern province of Ash Sharqiyah). 220V is commonly used as well, especially in hotels.
