Plug adapters / Belize

Type A / B · 110 V · 60 Hz

Do I need a plug adapter for Belize?

No. Belize uses type A and B sockets, the same shapes as the United States, so your plugs fit as they are. The supply is 110 V at 60 Hz, in the same range as the US.

What to pack for Belize

Nothing extra for the sockets. At 110 V, phones, laptops and most small appliances from the US work as they do at home.

Cross-check difference: Wikipedia also lists G and a 220 V supply in places. Values shown are WorldStandards'.

About type A and B sockets

Types A and B are the US and Canadian standard: two flat pins, with a round earth pin on type B. Being able to plug straight in is convenient, but it also hides any voltage difference, so check the number on the charger rather than the shape of the socket.

Voltage and frequency in Belize: 110 V, 60 Hz

Belize110 V · 60 HzUnited States120 V · 60 Hz
Belize's supply is close to the US 120 V, so US chargers and appliances run as they do at home.

Belize supplies 110 V, slightly below the US 120 V. US devices run normally; a heating appliance may warm a little more slowly, and that is the only effect most travellers notice. The frequency is 60 Hz, the same as the US, so there is nothing to think about on that side.

Same sockets elsewhere

Mexico, Canada, Dominican Republic, Japan, Colombia and Jamaica use at least one of the same socket types as Belize, so one adapter covers a trip that includes them.

Frequently asked questions

What plug type does Belize use?

Belize uses type A and B sockets. US type A and B plugs fit without an adapter.

What voltage is Belize?

Belize supplies 110 V at 60 Hz. That is in the same range as the US 120 V, so US devices work as at home.

Do I need a voltage converter for Belize?

No. The voltage in Belize is in the US range, so no converter is needed for any device.

Will my phone charger work in Belize?

Yes, provided it is marked 100–240 V, which almost every phone charger is. No adapter is needed because the sockets take US plugs.
