How Americas changes a travel power plan

North American A/B references sit alongside Brazil’s 127V/220V mix and several South American 220V destinations. Jamaica and Barbados add a 50Hz check despite familiar flat-pin shapes. Aruba, the US Virgin Islands and Belize have source differences that matter for single-voltage appliances. Use the exact appliance INPUT range instead of assuming that similar pins mean similar power.

Evidence check: 6 of 22 destination profiles in this region are marked review required. That flag calls for a local or facility confirmation; the remaining profiles are also references rather than measurements of room outlets.

For a US departure, a 120V-only appliance cannot be cleared by finding a familiar plug. Compare its exact INPUT range with every stop and use the multi-country kit planner for a conservative union of possible connector types.

How to use these pages

Compare each destination separately. Shared geography does not imply shared outlets, grounding or supply. Ask your accommodation about the exact outlet.
