Country plug and voltage comparison

Compare your home country with a destination. See nominal voltage, frequency and plug-family differences; device compatibility still needs an INPUT label.

How to interpret the result

This comparison lists nominal country references. A plug-family overlap is only a lead for a physical check. It cannot establish that the actual socket accepts your device or preserves earth. Add the device INPUT range and the property’s socket details before use.

A practical example and limit

For example, the US profile lists 120V/60Hz and A/B families, while Japan lists 100V and regional 50/60Hz. Their plug families overlap, yet a 120V-only appliance still falls outside Japan’s nominal voltage. Treat the comparison as a list of questions to resolve, then open the destination page for its evidence status. A device with a detachable power brick should be checked at the brick’s INPUT label.

Before connecting anything

Read the exact appliance AC INPUT label, destination outlet voltage and plug variant. Check a grounded path and the lowest rated AC connector. If the result says blocked or needs confirmation, leave the setup unplugged until the missing point is resolved.
