The table below summarises the plug types, voltage and frequency of electrical current in both United States of America and Mexico.
United States of America | Mexico | |
---|---|---|
Plug Types | A, B | A |
Voltage | 120V | 127V |
Frequency of electrical current | 60Hz | 60Hz |
In United States of America there's more than one plug type in use.
What type of plug does your appliance have?
No adaptor needed
Mexico uses Socket Type A, which is the same as the plug type of your appliances from United States of America. You will not need an adaptor.
You will need this adaptor:
Socket Type
(United States of America) to Plug Type A
(Mexico)
The voltages found in United States of America (120V) and Mexico (127V) are not exactly the same, but the difference is tolerable, so you should not need a transformer.
The frequency found in United States of America and Mexico is exactly the same (60Hz). Timing devices and appliances that use motors will function as expected under this frequency.
