In American Samoa there's more than one plug type in use.
What type of plug does your appliance have?
In Jamaica there's more than one socket type in use.
You will need this adaptor:
Socket Type A
(American Samoa) to Plug Type B
(Jamaica)
Jamaica 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 Jamaica, you will not need an adaptor.
In Jamaica there's more than one socket type in use.
You will need this adaptor:
Socket Type B
(American Samoa) to Plug Type A
(Jamaica)
Jamaica also uses Socket Type B, which is used in American Samoa. If using an appliance that has a Type B Plug in the Type B Sockets of Jamaica, you will not need an adaptor.
In Jamaica there's more than one socket type in use. You may require more than one adaptor.

(Jamaica)
Socket Type I
(American Samoa) to Plug Type B
(Jamaica)
The voltages found in American Samoa (120V) and Jamaica (110V) are not exactly the same, but the difference is tolerable, so you should not need a transformer.
The frequency of electrical current found in American Samoa (60Hz) differs to that found in Jamaica (50Hz).
Most equipment is not affected by differences in frequencies. Some exceptions are:
