Plug Adaptors

Azerbaijan uses Plug Type C.

Your Appliance has Plug Type C

In Monaco there's more than one socket type in use. You may require more than one adaptor.

Socket Type C
(Azerbaijan) to Plug Type D
(Monaco)

Socket Type C
(Azerbaijan) to Plug Type E
(Monaco)

Socket Type C
(Azerbaijan) to Plug Type F
(Monaco)

Monaco also uses Socket Type C, which is used in Azerbaijan. If using an appliance that has a Type C Plug in the Type C Sockets of Monaco, you will not need an adaptor.

Voltage

Check if your appliance is compatible with the voltages used in Monaco

The voltage, 127V, is used in parts of Monaco but not in Azerbaijan.

Some appliances are compatible with multiple voltages. To find out if your appliance is one of them, check the appliance label and/or instruction booklet. An example appliance label is below.

Appliance label showing a tolerable voltage range of 100 to 240 volts
This appliance is compatible with a range of voltages as it shows two voltage figures with a dash in between them. In this example, the appliance may be plugged into any outlet ranging from 100 to 240V without a voltage transformer, though a socket adaptor would still be needed if the sockets don't match.

See examples of appliance labels

Appliance label showing a voltage of 240 volts
This appliance is only compatible with a single voltage as only one voltage (240V) is printed on the label.
Appliance label showing a tolerable voltage range of 100 to 240 volts
This appliance is compatible with a range of voltages as it shows two voltage figures with a dash in between them. In this example, the appliance may be plugged into any outlet ranging from 100 to 240V without a voltage transformer, though a socket adaptor would still be needed if the sockets don't match.
Appliance label showing two tolerable voltages: 115 volts and 230 volts
This appliance is compatible two voltages as it shows two voltage figures with a slash between them. Appliances displaying labels like this will have a physical switch located on them somewhere, allowing you to switch between the two voltages shown here. In this example, the appliance may be plugged into an outlet of 115V or 240V (provided the switch is in the correct position) without a voltage transformer, though a socket adaptor would still be needed if the sockets don't match.

Is your appliance compatible with the voltages used in Monaco (127V and 220V)?

If your appliance is not compatible with multiple voltages, and you wish to use it in parts of Monaco where this voltage is present, you will need a transformer to adjust the voltage input when using your appliance in Monaco.

Good to know

Frequency of Electrical Current

The frequency found in Azerbaijan and Monaco is exactly the same (50Hz). Timing devices and appliances that use motors will function as expected under this frequency.
