The table below summarises the plug types, voltage and frequency of electrical current in both American Samoa and Mexico.
| American Samoa | Mexico | |
|---|---|---|
| Plug Types | A, B, F, I | A |
| Voltage | 120V | 127V |
| 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?
No adaptor needed
Mexico uses Socket Type A, which is the same as the plug type of your appliances from American Samoa. You will not need an adaptor.
You will need this adaptor:
Socket Type B
(American Samoa) to Plug Type A
(Mexico)
You will need this adaptor:
Socket Type F
(American Samoa) to Plug Type A
(Mexico)
You will need this adaptor:
Socket Type I
(American Samoa) to Plug Type A
(Mexico)
The voltages found in American Samoa (120V) and Mexico (127V) are not exactly the same, but the difference is tolerable, so you should not need a transformer.
The frequency found in American Samoa and Mexico is exactly the same (60Hz). Timing devices and appliances that use motors will function as expected under this frequency.
