Product Information

We keep "D" and "M" plugs in our database as we don't know your exact destination and you might find one next to a bed table. As a rule of thumb, you will probably be fine with the type "G" in hotels and big cities. This adapter allows you to use plugs type: A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I, J, K, L, M, N into outlets type: B. Adapter: generic One of the most popular tourist destinations in Brazil is Rio de Janeiro, a city famous for its Carnival celebration, beautiful beaches like Copacabana and Ipanema, and iconic landmarks such as the Christ the Redeemer statue and Sugarloaf Mountain. Visitors can also enjoy the city’s lively nightlife and delicious cuisine, which includes traditional dishes like feijoada (a bean stew) and churrasco (Brazilian barbecue).

It’s important to understand that some travel adaptors are not suitable for any appliances that require an earth connection. These types of travel adaptors should only be used with double insulated equipment, which will be clearly marked with the symbol shown below. The voltage for UK and Ireland is 230 volts with most electrical goods operating at between 220 - 240 volts. The United Kingdom and Ireland outlets require a unique 3 flat rectangular pronged plug type. EuropeThis adapter allows you to use plugs type: A, B, C, D, E, F, G, M into outlets type: I. Adapter: generic Last but not least on the South American countries list, Venezuela. Venezuela uses both the unearthed USA (type A) and earthed USA (type B) plug. Colombia’s neighbour, Ecuador, uses the same combination of USA earthed (type A) and USA unearthed (type B) plugs.

Argentina, Morocco, Thailand, China and Egypt also use the European 2 prong power outlet. Types of Travel Adapters This adapter is probably illegal in some countries, we put it here for educational purposes; it does not have earth connection but it allows earthed plugs to be connected to it. It has no finger-terminal protection. Try to go for a more expensive and safer alternative. Adapters you can buy Single Regional Adapters - These adapters offer a single adaptation from your electronic device, to you destinations electric output. So for example this could be a UK three prong plug to a European 2 Pin plug. Before purchasing travel insurance, it’s important to carefully review the policy details, including the coverage limits, exclusions, and any applicable deductibles or copays. You should also make sure that the policy covers any activities or destinations that you plan to participate in or visit during your trip. you may need a voltage converter if your hair dryer, hair straightener or curling iron is not compatible with this.

Do I need a power adapter for Brazil?

There are 15 plug types in use across the world. Type A and Type B are used in the US, Canada, Mexico, and Japan; Type C is common across Europe, South America, and Asia; Type E and Type F are found across Europe in places like Germany, Russia, and France; Type G is used in the United Kingdom, Ireland, and a handful of other places; and Type I is used in Australia, New Zealand, China, and Argentina. Universal adapters tend to cover all of these types. High-power devices don't usually handle different voltages due to the high-currents involved i.e. anything that its main purpose involves generating heat (or cold) like hair driers, baby bottle warmers, kettles, etc. On the contrary, modern low-power devices are likely to auto-detect and auto-adapt to different voltages i.e. usb chargers, laptop chargers, etc. This adapter has a safety protection so you don't plug only one terminal into the adapter while touching the other with your finger, because it is generic, when you buy it pay attention to this safety mechanism. Overall a good adapter that has the earth connection pass-though (notice the metallic connector on the side.) Adapter: generic You can use all your equipment in Brazil if the outlet voltage in your own country is between 100V-240V. This is mostly the case in Europe, Australia, United Kingdom and most countries in Africa and Asia.

You can determine whether you’ll need to use a converter or transformer, by looking at the appliance rating plate. Also, I hadn’t realized that Brazil has two different receptacle powers, one much stronger than the others. I had been told by night friend to be careful not to plug my devices into the stronger receptacles as it might damage them. I am not sure what Plugging this adapter into their stronger units might have done (I did not want to sacrifice my devices to find out), but might have been potentially dangerous. Situated in the north of the South American continent, therefore closer to North America, it makes sense that Colombia mainly uses American plugs. You will find both the unearthed USA (type A) and earthed USA (type B) in use throughout Colombia. Electricity supplies worldwide can vary from anything between 100V and 240V. It can be extremely dangerous to use an electrical appliance that is rated at a voltage different from the supply. Brazil, Mexico, Japan, some part of Egypt, Thailand and Peru also use this type of power adapters. UK and IrelandConverters and transformers perform a similar function, but their applications differ. Converters are typically used with appliances that operate for a short duration (1-2hours), whilst most transformers can be used alongside appliances that operate continuously. All converters and transformers will have a maximum power rating (AMPS or WATTS) so make sure that any appliance you intend to use does not exceed this rating. Dual voltage rated appliance The voltage of North America is 120 volts, with most electrical goods operating at around 110 volts. The plug type is two prongs with a third optional round pin. a lot of power such as a hair dryer, hair straightener or curling iron, which can be dangerous to use with these devices. Zendure's all-in-one travel adapter is what I toss in my bag first for every trip. It has a boxy design with sliding toggles to switch between US, European, and British plugs. (It covers more than 200 countries.) There’s an auto-resetting fuse to protect your gadgets from power surges, and the Passport III has a 10 amp limit. The latest version also sports a funky, translucent design with a metallic finish (purple is best). Sadly, there's no grounding, so you shouldn't use this adapter with any device that has a third metal grounding pin on its plug.

In addition to its natural beauty and cultural attractions, Brazil is also home to a vibrant arts scene, with world-renowned artists and musicians like Gilberto Gil and Tom Jobim hailing from the country. Visitors can experience Brazil’s rich artistic heritage at museums and galleries throughout the country. Multi Regional Adapters - These adapters offer multiple plug type options with multiple output options for travelling to different regions. So for example an adapter could have up to three types of plugs as the source and then have up to three types of plugs for the outlet. Grounded vs. Non-Grounded Adapters I’m bought these for a trip to Brazil and they worked wonderfully. The only issue I might offer up is that they can be a little heavy. This wasn’t an issue for most of the plugs in Brazil, but I did find that the prongs were just a bit too long for some of the shallower receptacles in Brazil. This had the effect of leaving a little gap between the wall and the adaptor, and left some of the prongs exposed. Sorry, none of the plugs used in both countries are common. You will definitelly need plug adapters, please continue reading for more information. Adapters Type N - Only used in South Africa and Brazil. Type C plugs will also fit into an outlet of type N.You might either need a step up voltage converter, a step down voltage converter, or maybe, nothing at all. When a country electronic grid is not homogenous, there is not much we can help but ask you to exercise caution. Plugs Type Different plug systems Other popular destinations in Brazil include Salvador, a city known for its Afro-Brazilian culture and stunning colonial architecture; Florianopolis, an island paradise with over 40 beaches to explore; and Foz do Iguaçu, home to the breathtaking Iguaçu Falls, which are taller than Niagara Falls. Multiple readers have reported that Brazil uses mostly type "C" and 220V (hotels and big cities). Officially the plug type "N" is the definite and standard nowadays, it can be used with plugs type "C". How much and and to what extend the standard is enforced is unknown to us and it will depend on where you go, expect high variance in its enforce. You might either need a step up voltage converter, a step down voltage converter, or maybe, nothing at all.
