Type A

North American two-prong plug

Two flat parallel blades, no earth – the everyday plug of the USA, Canada, Mexico and Japan.

15 A · ungrounded

Type B

North American three-prong plug · most common

Type A with an extra round earth pin – the standard socket in North America.

15 A · grounded

Type G

British plug

Three chunky rectangular pins and a fuse inside – the UK, Ireland, Gulf states, Singapore, Hong Kong, Malaysia.

13 A · grounded

Good to know

Both 110 V and 220 V are in use – it depends on the building and the socket rather than the region. Check the voltage before plugging in single-voltage appliances.

Will my device work?

Read the voltage on the label of your device or its power supply (for example “INPUT 100–240 V ~ 50/60 Hz”) and choose a country – or several, if you are going on a longer trip.

This is not a full safety check – also check the device’s power rating (a converter has to handle it) and the earth connection: plug appliances with a metal casing only into earthed sockets.

Frequently asked questions

What plug type is used in Belize?

Belize uses plug types A, B and G. The most common is type B – the North American three-prong plug. Both 110 V and 220 V are in use – it depends on the building and the socket rather than the region. Check the voltage before plugging in single-voltage appliances.

What is the voltage in Belize?

The mains voltage in Belize is 110/220 V and the frequency is 60 Hz. Two voltages are in use – check which one the socket has before plugging in (the easiest way is to ask at your hotel).

Do I need a travel adapter for Belize?

You need an adapter if your devices have plugs other than types A, B and G. Travellers from Canada, Japan and United States can usually manage without one, but not every socket will take their plugs – an adapter to types A and G is worth packing. Travellers from United Kingdom can usually manage without one, but not every socket will take their plugs – an adapter to type B is worth packing. Only some plugs fit for travellers from China. Travellers from Australia, France, Germany, India and Poland need an adapter to type B.

Do I need a voltage converter in Belize?

If you bring devices from Australia, Canada, China, France, Germany, India, Japan, Poland, United Kingdom and United States, check their rating labels. Phone and laptop chargers usually work on 100–240 V, but hair dryers, straighteners and kettles often do not – and a plug adapter does not change the voltage. A converter for them would need enough power (a hair dryer often draws 1500–2000 W), so a dual-voltage appliance or one bought locally is the better choice.
