| Plug Types | A, B, F, I | A, G, I, J, L |
| Voltage | 120V | 115V |
| Frequency of electrical current | 60Hz | 60Hz |
In American Samoa there's more than one plug type in use.
What type of plug does your appliance have?
In El Salvador there's more than one socket type in use. You may require more than one adaptor.
El Salvador also uses Socket Type A, which is used in American Samoa. If using an appliance that has a Type A Plug in the Type A Sockets of El Salvador, you will not need an adaptor.
In El Salvador there's more than one socket type in use. You may require more than one adaptor.
In El Salvador there's more than one socket type in use. You may require more than one adaptor.
In El Salvador there's more than one socket type in use. You may require more than one adaptor.
Socket Type I
(American Samoa) to Plug Type L
(El Salvador)
El Salvador also uses Socket Type I, which is used in American Samoa. If using an appliance that has a Type I Plug in the Type I Sockets of El Salvador, you will not need an adaptor.
The voltages found in American Samoa (120V) and El Salvador (115V) are not exactly the same, but the difference is tolerable, so you should not need a transformer.
The frequency found in American Samoa and El Salvador is exactly the same (60Hz). Timing devices and appliances that use motors will function as expected under this frequency.
