๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ญ Switzerland to ๐Ÿ‡ต๐Ÿ‡ช PeruSome of your plugs fit, some don't. It's complicated.

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

What to pack

Plugbert recommends

Type A (US 2-pin) adapter

Some plugs from Switzerland fit the Type A and C sockets in Peru and some don't, so pack an adapter. A Type A (US 2-pin) adapter fits 1 of the 2 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
Peru uses 220 V and Switzerland 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 โ†’ 60 Hz). Check your device's input rating for the local frequency; a plug adapter does not change it.
