๐Ÿ‡ฐ๐Ÿ‡ฒ Comoros to ๐Ÿ‡ง๐Ÿ‡ท BrazilAdapter needed, and the voltage varies.

Brazil uses 127 V and 220 V in different places. Dual-voltage gear only, please.

What to pack

Plugbert recommends

Type C (Europlug) adapter

Some plugs from Comoros fit the Type C and N sockets in Brazil and some don't, so pack an adapter. A Type C (Europlug) adapter fits the listed socket families there. For grounded devices, get a Type N (Brazilian) adapter for a compatible grounded outlet instead; it does not fit every listed outlet. Socket variants can differ; check the actual outlet and adapter rating.

For equipment requiring earth, choose a Type N (Brazilian) adapter for a compatible grounded outlet. Check its supported inputs and rated load. A two-pin output cannot provide an earth connection.

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

Mixed voltage
Brazil uses 127 V or 220 V in different places. An input rating of "100โ€“240V" covers the listed supply voltage; you still need a suitable plug or adapter. Check the local socket supply before use.

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

  • Phone charger

    Basically all modern USB chargers are 100โ€“240V. Adapter only.

  • Laptop charger

    Look for "100โ€“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

    Most modern ones auto-switch, but confirm before you rely on it to breathe.

  • Hair straightener / curler

    Some have a voltage switch. Many don't. Fire is a bad hairstyle.

  • Hair dryer

    Usually single voltage and very power-hungry. Buy a travel one or use the hotel's.

  • Kettle / coffee maker

    Single voltage, high wattage. Leave it home. Buy coffee abroad like a local.

  • Anything with a heating element

    If it gets hot on purpose, assume it's single voltage.

Plugbert's note on Brazil
Brazil runs 127 V or 220 V depending on the state, and sometimes depending on the building. Check the socket label.
