🇧🇷 Brazil to 🇰🇷 South KoreaAdapter needed, and the voltage varies.

South Korea uses 220 V in different places. Dual-voltage gear only, please.

South Korea → Brazil

What to pack

Plugbert recommends

Type F (Schuko) adapter

Some plugs from Brazil fit the Type F sockets in South Korea and some don't, so pack an adapter. A Type F (Schuko) adapter fits the listed socket families there. Socket variants can differ; check the actual outlet and adapter rating.

Tip: a "universal" travel adapter may be useful for several destinations. Check its wall-side plugs, grounding and power limits against your trip.

South Korea uses 220 V in different places. An input rating of "100–240V" covers the listed supply voltage; you still need a suitable plug or adapter. Check the local socket supply before use.

    Look for "100–240V" on the brick. It's almost always there.

  • Camera battery charger

    Usually dual voltage. Check the tiny print.

  • Electric toothbrush

    Many are dual voltage, some are not. Check the base.

  • Electric shaver

    Often dual voltage. Often. Check.

  • CPAP machine
