Electric Socket Types, Voltage, and Plug Compatibility in Colombia

Type A

Type B

Colombia uses specific electric socket types, voltage, and frequency standards. Travelers should confirm plug compatibility and consider safety measures when charging devices.

  • Plug types: Type A and Type B are standard in Colombia.
  • Voltage: 110V (Volts).
  • Frequency: 60Hz (Hertz).
  • Compatibility: Devices from the US, Canada, Mexico, and Japan (Type A/B, 110V) are generally compatible. Travelers from the UK (Type G, 230V), EU (Type C/F, 230V), and Australia (Type I, 230V) require plug adapters and may need voltage converters.
  • Adapters and converters: Plug adapters are widely available at airports, electronics stores, and some hotels. Voltage converters are necessary for devices not rated for 110V.
  • Safety tips: Use surge protectors to prevent damage from voltage fluctuations. Ensure devices are dual voltage (100–240V) before plugging in.
  • Local practices: Power outages can occur, especially in rural areas. Multi-plug adapters are common in hotels and homes.
