Frequently asked

What type of plug does Brazil use?
Brazil uses Type C and Type N outlets at 127V, 60Hz.
What's the voltage in Brazil?
Brazil runs on 127V at 60Hz — that's the low-voltage standard. Dual-voltage devices (most phones, laptops, modern chargers labelled "100-240V") work as-is. Single-voltage devices like hair dryers, curling irons, and travel kettles do not without a converter.
Do I need a travel adapter for Brazil?
Only if your home country uses a different plug type. Travellers from any country whose plugs aren't Type C/N will need an adapter. Use the table above or the calculator to check your specific pair.
