The table below summarises the plug types, voltage and frequency of electrical current in both Mexico and United States of America.
| Mexico | United States of America | |
|---|---|---|
| Plug Types | A | A, B |
| Voltage | 127V | 120V |
| Frequency of electrical current | 60Hz | 60Hz |
Mexico uses Plug Type A.
In United States of America there's more than one socket type in use.
You will need this adaptor:
Socket Type
(Mexico) to Plug Type B
(United States of America)
United States of America also uses Socket Type A, which is used in Mexico. If using an appliance that has a Type A Plug in the Type A Sockets of United States of America, you will not need an adaptor.
The voltages found in Mexico (127V) and United States of America (120V) are not exactly the same, but the difference is tolerable, so you should not need a transformer.
The frequency found in Mexico and United States of America is exactly the same (60Hz). Timing devices and appliances that use motors will function as expected under this frequency.
