🇨🇳 China to 🇰🇷 South KoreaYour little chargers will cope. Your chunky ones won't.

Some of your plugs fit South Korea's sockets directly. Grounded or chunkier ones need help.

South Korea → China

What to pack

Plugbert recommends

Type F (Schuko) adapter

Some plugs from China 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.

No voltage converter needed. Both countries use 220 V.

The destination may use a different frequency (50 → 60 Hz). Check your device's input rating for the local frequency; a plug adapter does not change it.
