Frequently asked questions
Which plug type is used in the most countries?
Type C (the two-pin Europlug) — listed for 131 countries here, followed by Type G (52) and Type F (75).
What is the difference between 120 V and 230 V?
North America, Japan and parts of South America use 100–127 volts; most of the world uses 220–240 volts. Phone and laptop chargers usually accept both (look for “100–240V” on the label); hair dryers and kettles often do not.
Do I need a plug adapter or a voltage converter?
An adapter only changes the shape of the plug. A converter changes the voltage. You need a converter only if your device is single-voltage and the destination uses a different voltage range.
