Guam plug type, voltage and travel adapter guide

Guam is listed with 110/120V travel-information voltage range, 60Hz, and Type A, Type B in the reviewed travel references. These figures describe a destination profile, not the outlet in your room. Source differences or regional conditions require extra confirmation before connecting a single-voltage device.

Before plugging in

The reference lists several plug families. That is a list of observed formats across sources, not a guarantee that every building has them. Ask the property which voltage is present at the particular outlet you will use.

Illustrations show broad family shapes only. They are not dimensioned drawings or a fit test.

A plug letter identifies a shape family. It does not establish the supply voltage, the exact subvariant, the condition of the wall socket, or a working protective earth. Nominal values can differ from the actual supply at a particular property.

What changes for a US traveler?

A US appliance marked 120V only does not cover every 110/120V reference candidate. Do not use a plug adapter to bridge that electrical mismatch. The reference shares Type A, Type B with US plug families, but the exact male-to-socket variant and the property installation are still unverified. The reference frequency includes 60Hz; a US 60Hz-only appliance still needs the other electrical checks.

  • Different outlets or facilities can have different voltage; ask about the specific one you will use.

Why some charts disagree

The values below are retained as a research conflict, not silently averaged into a new national standard. An outlet-specific answer matters most for a single-voltage device.

Guam research note

The Guam Visitors Bureau’s Japanese travel page gives 110–120V/60Hz, while its current English electricity page describes 120V/60Hz like the US mainland. The displayed 110/120 reference is a cautious comparison of travel information, not a measured supply-tolerance specification.

Check your device label

Find the INPUT line on the item that actually connects to AC power. Confirm its voltage range includes the local supply, its frequency rating includes the local frequency, and its plug and grounding requirements are met. A USB output rating such as 65W is not the AC input rating.

Device checks for Guam
DeviceCheck before use
Phone and tablet chargersIf the actual charger says INPUT 100–240V 50/60Hz, the listed 110/120V and 60Hz values are inside those two ranges. Check its wall plug and USB profile separately.
Laptop suppliesInspect the brick and detachable cord. A Type A/B country listing does not verify a Class I earth path in your room.
Cameras and small chargersRead the battery charger’s AC INPUT, not the camera body. A 120V-only label cannot be cleared for 110/120V without a maker-approved solution.
Hair dryers and heated toolsA US 120V-only heating appliance is outside at least one 110/120V candidate; a shape adapter is not a converter.
Medical and CPAP devicesAsk the maker and care team to compare the exact power supply with 110/120V and 60Hz; plan a backup rather than relying on a country-level safe-use verdict.

What adapter type should you look for?

Start with an adapter that explicitly accepts your device’s actual plug and has an output plug matching the outlet shown by your accommodation. Check the adapter’s AC current rating, permitted appliances and earth continuity. A universal adapter can have several pins yet lack protective earth. A shape adapter cannot step voltage up or down.

For Guam, research Type A or Type B. Do not buy solely from this country-level listing; ask the property about the exact socket variant first.

  • Dedicated destination head: investigate one that names the exact wall socket variant and your device plug.
  • Grounded route for Class I equipment: require documented protective-earth continuity from the wall through the adapter.
  • Documented universal model: useful for several stops only when every required variant and the AC load are supported.

Travel questions for Guam

Will a US plug connect directly in Guam?

The country list includes Type A, Type B, also seen in US references. Direct fit still depends on the exact variant, outlet and grounding.

Can I use a device marked 120V only?

Not from the 110/120V reference alone. At least one candidate is outside a 120V-only label; ask the property and product maker before connecting it.

What should I confirm with the property?

Ask for the voltage and a photo or exact name of the outlet you will use. The reference data with caveats research status and Type A, Type B listing do not verify every room or a working protective earth.

Evidence and limits

Voltage references: Guam Visitors Bureau . Frequency references: Bel Fuse , Electrical Safety First , Guam Visitors Bureau , MENNEKES , Panasonic . Plug references: Bel Fuse , Electrical Safety First , MENNEKES , Panasonic . Reviewed 2026-11-01; no on-site outlet or product test was performed.

The research record marks this profile as reference data with caveats. If sources disagree, the screening tool requests local confirmation rather than treating a nominal reference as a safety certificate. Report a correction

Additional local tourism comparison: Guam Visitors Bureau English electricity page states 120V/60Hz in English; the Guam Visitors Bureau Japanese page lists 110–120V/60Hz. Treat the difference as travel guidance and confirm a single-voltage device at the property.
