Electric Socket Types, Voltage, and Plug Compatibility in Brazil

Type N

Type C

Brazil primarily uses two types of electric sockets and plugs. The standard voltage is 127V or 220V, depending on the region, with a frequency of 60Hz. Travelers should confirm the voltage at their specific destination before use.

  • Plug types: Type N (official standard), Type C (widely compatible with European plugs).
  • Voltage: 127V or 220V (varies by city and region); Frequency: 60Hz.
  • Compatibility: Type C plugs (EU) usually fit; Type N is unique to Brazil. US (Type A/B), UK (Type G), and AU (Type I) plugs require adapters.
  • Adapters/converters: Travelers from the US, UK, and Australia need plug adapters. Voltage converters may be necessary for devices not supporting 127V or 220V.
  • Safety tips: Check device voltage compatibility before use. Use surge protectors for sensitive electronics. Some sockets may lack grounding.
  • Availability: Adapters are commonly sold at airports, electronics stores, and some hotels.
  • Local practices: Multi-plug adapters are frequently used. Power outages can occur in some areas, especially during storms.
