The table below summarises the plug types, voltage and frequency of electrical current in both Colombia and Nicaragua.
| Colombia | Nicaragua | |
|---|---|---|
| Plug Types | A, B | A |
| Voltage | 110V | 120V |
| Frequency of electrical current | 60Hz | 60Hz |
In Colombia there's more than one plug type in use.
What type of plug does your appliance have?
No adaptor needed
Nicaragua uses Socket Type A, which is the same as the plug type of your appliances from Colombia. You will not need an adaptor.
You will need this adaptor:
Socket Type
(Colombia) to Plug Type A
(Nicaragua)
The voltages found in Colombia (110V) and Nicaragua (120V) are not exactly the same, but the difference is tolerable, so you should not need a transformer.
The frequency found in Colombia and Nicaragua is exactly the same (60Hz). Timing devices and appliances that use motors will function as expected under this frequency.
