🇿🇦 South Africa to 🇰🇷 South KoreaSome of your plugs fit, some don't. It's complicated.

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

South Korea → South Africa

What to pack

Plugbert recommends

Type F (Schuko) adapter

Some plugs from South Africa 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.

Voltage & frequency

Check the voltage rating
South Korea uses 220 V and South Africa uses 230 V, but similar nominal voltages do not guarantee compatibility. Check that your device's input rating covers the destination supply.

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.
