American Samoa to Peru

You need a power plug adapter in Peru when you are from American Samoa.

If your devices are not dual voltage, you need a voltage converter to use them in Peru.

Here's why you need an adapter

The outlets and plugs used in Peru are A & C. Take a look at the pictures below to see what each plug and socket type looks like:

However, the outlets and plugs used in American Samoa are A, B, F & I, so that is why you need an adapter:

Here's why you may need a voltage converter

Peru uses a voltage of 220V, while American Samoa uses a voltage of 120V. Because these differ, you need a voltage converter for devices that are not dual voltage.

Nowadays, many electronic devices like hair styling tools or chargers for a laptop, phone, iPad, tablet or e-reader are dual voltage, but you should always double check this before using the device in another country.

You should be able to check the small print on a device or power adapter to see if it's dual voltage or not. If you see 100-240V 50/60Hz printed on the device or power adapter, it is dual voltage and will work with all voltages and frequencies used worldwide. If you don't see this, you need a voltage converter to use the device in Peru.
