For dual-voltage appliances, you can use a voltage converter.<\/p>\n<h3>Which power plugs and sockets in Mexico?<\/h3>\n<p>The standard power plug in Mexico is type A with two flat pins (same as in North America). You may need a plug adapter to fit into the outlet, though.<\/p>\n<p>Mexico also uses NEMA 5-15 and NEMA 5-20 plugs for high-power appliances such as hair dryers, curling irons, electric razors, etc.<\/p>\n<h3>What does a power adapter do?<\/h3>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.beipower.com\/power-adapter\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Mexican power adapter<\/a> is a device that allows you to use your electronic devices in Mexico. It allows you to plug your electronic device into a wall outlet.<\/p>\n<h2>Do I need an adapter in Mexico\uff1f<\/h2>\n<p>The answer to the question &#8220;Do I need an adapter in Mexico?&#8221; depends on the plug type of your device. Suppose you have a North American plug (the three-pronged outlet used in the United States, Canada, and parts of Central America) or a European plug (the two-pronged outlet used in most of Europe). In that case, no adapters are needed because these outlets are compatible.<\/p>\n<p>If your device uses a non-grounded adapter, such as those used in Australia and New Zealand, you will also want to purchase an adapter. This will allow you to use your device in Mexico without frying its internal components.<\/p>\n<h2>Mexico plug vs. US plugs<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.beipower.com\/power-adapter\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-5481 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.beipower.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Type-A-VS-Type-B-plug.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"360\" height=\"199\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.beipower.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Type-A-VS-Type-B-plug.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.beipower.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Type-A-VS-Type-B-plug-450x249.jpg 450w, https:\/\/www.beipower.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Type-A-VS-Type-B-plug-600x332.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.beipower.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Type-A-VS-Type-B-plug-300x166.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.beipower.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Type-A-VS-Type-B-plug-768x424.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.beipower.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Type-A-VS-Type-B-plug-705x390.jpg 705w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 360px) 100vw, 360px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>There are two main types of plugs in use throughout the world: the US plug and the Mexico plug. The US plug is used in Canada, Mexico, and many South American countries. The Mexico plug is used primarily in Mexico but is also common in parts of Central America.<\/p>\n<p>The most significant difference between these two plugs is their shape: The US plug has three prongs, while the Mexico plug has two. Both plugs will work with a converter that converts 120 to 110 volts, so you shouldn&#8217;t encounter any problems using one or the other in your travels.<\/p>\n<h2>Mexico plug type is the same as the US.<\/h2>\n<p>The voltage in Mexico is the same as in the United States: 120 volts. The frequency of electricity in Mexico is 60 Hertz, which is also the same as in the United States.<\/p>\n<p>The Mexico plug type is the same as the United States. So if you&#8217;re from Mexico, or if you&#8217;re visiting Mexico, and you need to plug in an appliance that needs a 120-volt power source (like a hair dryer), then you don&#8217;t have to worry about needing a different kind of adapter. You can use the same one!<\/p>\n<h2>Where to buy a power adapter for Mexico\uff1f<\/h2>\n<p>BEIPOWER is dedicated to providing our customers with the best quality products at affordable prices.
