The table below summarises the plug types, voltage and frequency of electrical current in both American Samoa and Suriname.
| American Samoa | Suriname | |
|---|---|---|
| Plug Types | A, B, F, I | C, F |
| 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?
In Suriname there's more than one socket type in use. You may require more than one adaptor.
Socket Type A
(American Samoa) to Plug Type C
(Suriname)
Socket Type A
(American Samoa) to Plug Type F
(Suriname)
In Suriname there's more than one socket type in use. You may require more than one adaptor.
Socket Type B
(American Samoa) to Plug Type C
(Suriname)
Socket Type B
(American Samoa) to Plug Type F
(Suriname)
In Suriname there's more than one socket type in use.
You will need this adaptor:
Socket Type F
(American Samoa) to Plug Type C
(Suriname)
Suriname also uses Socket Type F, which is used in American Samoa. If using an appliance that has a Type F Plug in the Type F Sockets of Suriname, you will not need an adaptor.
In Suriname there's more than one socket type in use. You may require more than one adaptor.
Socket Type I
(American Samoa) to Plug Type C
(Suriname)
Socket Type I
(American Samoa) to Plug Type F
(Suriname)
The voltages found in American Samoa (120V) and Suriname (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 Suriname is exactly the same (60Hz). Timing devices and appliances that use motors will function as expected under this frequency.
