The table below summarises the plug types, voltage and frequency of electrical current in both Benin and Niger.
| Benin | Niger | |
|---|---|---|
| Plug Types | E | A, B, C, D, E, F |
| Voltage | 220V | 220V |
| Frequency of electrical current | 50Hz | 50Hz |
Benin uses Plug Type E.
In Niger there's more than one socket type in use. You may require more than one adaptor.

Niger also uses Socket Type E, which is used in Benin. If using an appliance that has a Type E Plug in the Type E Sockets of Niger, you will not need an adaptor.
The voltage found in Benin and Niger is exactly the same (220V). You will not need a transformer.
The frequency found in Benin and Niger is exactly the same (50Hz). Timing devices and appliances that use motors will function as expected under this frequency.
