The table below summarises the plug types, voltage and frequency of electrical current in both Panama and American Samoa.
| Panama | American Samoa | |
|---|---|---|
| Plug Types | A, B | A, B, F, I |
| Voltage | 110V | 120V |
| Frequency of electrical current | 60Hz | 60Hz |
In Panama there's more than one plug type in use.
What type of plug does your appliance have?
In American Samoa there's more than one socket type in use. You may require more than one adaptor.
Socket Type A
(Panama) to Plug Type B
(American Samoa)
Socket Type A
(Panama) to Plug Type F
(American Samoa)
Socket Type A
(Panama) to Plug Type I
(American Samoa)
American Samoa also uses Socket Type A, which is used in Panama. If using an appliance that has a Type A Plug in the Type A Sockets of American Samoa, you will not need an adaptor.
In American Samoa there's more than one socket type in use. You may require more than one adaptor.
Socket Type B
(Panama) to Plug Type A
(American Samoa)
Socket Type B
(Panama) to Plug Type F
(American Samoa)
Socket Type B
(Panama) to Plug Type I
(American Samoa)
American Samoa also uses Socket Type B, which is used in Panama. If using an appliance that has a Type B Plug in the Type B Sockets of American Samoa, you will not need an adaptor.
The voltages found in Panama (110V) and American Samoa (120V) are not exactly the same, but the difference is tolerable, so you should not need a transformer.
The frequency found in Panama and American Samoa is exactly the same (60Hz). Timing devices and appliances that use motors will function as expected under this frequency.
