The table below summarises the plug types, voltage and frequency of electrical current in both Ecuador and Nicaragua.
| Ecuador | Nicaragua | |
|---|---|---|
| Plug Types | A, B | A |
| Voltage | 120V, 127V | 120V |
| Frequency of electrical current | 60Hz | 60Hz |
In Ecuador 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 Ecuador. You will not need an adaptor.
You will need this adaptor:

(Ecuador) to Plug Type A
(Nicaragua)
The voltages found in Ecuador (120V and 127V) are the same as those found in Nicaragua. As there are multiple voltages present, care should be taken to ensure your appliance is compatible with the power outlet you are using.
The frequency found in Ecuador and Nicaragua is exactly the same (60Hz). Timing devices and appliances that use motors will function as expected under this frequency.
