The table below summarises the plug types, voltage and frequency of electrical current in both Afghanistan and Switzerland.
| Afghanistan | Switzerland | |
|---|---|---|
| Plug Types | C, D, F | C, J |
| Voltage | 240V | 230V |
| Frequency of electrical current | 50Hz | 50Hz |
In Afghanistan there's more than one plug type in use.
What type of plug does your appliance have?
In Switzerland there's more than one socket type in use.
You will need this adaptor:
Socket Type C
(Afghanistan) to Plug Type J
(Switzerland)
Switzerland also uses Socket Type C, which is used in Afghanistan. If using an appliance that has a Type C Plug in the Type C Sockets of Switzerland, you will not need an adaptor.
In Switzerland there's more than one socket type in use. You may require more than one adaptor.
Socket Type D
(Afghanistan) to Plug Type C
(Switzerland)
Socket Type D
(Afghanistan) to Plug Type J
(Switzerland)
In Switzerland there's more than one socket type in use. You may require more than one adaptor.
Socket Type F
(Afghanistan) to Plug Type C
(Switzerland)
Socket Type F
(Afghanistan) to Plug Type J
(Switzerland)
The voltages found in Afghanistan (240V) and Switzerland (230V) are not exactly the same, but the difference is tolerable, so you should not need a transformer.
The frequency found in Afghanistan and Switzerland is exactly the same (50Hz). Timing devices and appliances that use motors will function as expected under this frequency.
