Are you preparing to travel internationally and want to take items that require electricity? In most cases, you’ll need only an adapter plug; in some cases, you'll need a voltage converter or transformer, too.

Today we'll talk about the first part: Adapter Plugs
If you’re traveling outside of your country, you’ll most likely need an adapter plug. All over the world, there are different types of electrical wall outlets. Unless your destination country has the same outlet configuration as your home country, you’ll need an adapter. Adapter plugs do not convert electricity, they simply allow your device’s plug to fit into the foreign outlet.

Here are some common plug types:

Common Destinations	Outlet Type
Japan, Taiwan, Central America, Caribbean, South America	A,B
Europe, Middle East, Israel, some Asian countries, some African countries	C,E,F
United Kingdom, Ireland, Hong Kong, Singapore, Malaysia, some African countries	G
