In Benin, they use power outlets and plugs of type E. The voltage is 220 V, and the frequency is 50 Hz.
No power adapter is required when traveling to Benin.Benin uses type E power outlets, while Germany has type C and F plugs. Your power plugs are compatible with German outlets, so a power adapter isn't necessary.
Your plugs match outlet type E.
Ensure your plug F devices are compatible, as some older models might not have the necessary pinhole for outlets of type E. If they aren't compatible, you'll need an adapter.No adapter is needed for Benin if you're coming from Germany. However, a universal adapter might still be worth getting. You’ll never have to worry about whether your plugs fit different sockets again and you'll always be ready for future trips.
Benin's voltage level of 220 V is quite similar to the 230 V system used in Germany. These slight differences are usually considered by manufacturers.
230 V50 Hz220 V50 HzThere is no need for a voltage converter in Benin, when traveling from Germany.To confirm, check if your devices require a voltage converter by looking at the 'INPUT' label, typically found on the power adapter or charger. If the label shows "INPUT: 100-240V, 50/60 Hz," the device is built to handle different voltage and frequency ranges. This is typical for devices such as notebooks, smartphones, digital cameras, and also for tablets, e-readers, and some battery chargers.
Yes, since Germany and Benin use similar voltages (230 V and 220 V) and the same frequency (50 Hz), you can use your German hair dryer in Benin without needing a voltage converter.
Yes, you can use your laptop or smartphone in Benin without any issues, as the voltages are similar (230 V and 220 V) and the frequency the same in both countries (50 Hz).
