Make sure to get a power adapter for outlets of type A, B and F. If you often go abroad, consider getting an all-in-one adapter (most adapters even have additional charging ports for USB-A and USB-C). Since you also need an international power (voltage) converter to keep your devices protected (more info further down), getting a combo power adapter/converter might be the best solution.

Do I need a voltage converter for Bonaire?

Bonaire uses both 127 V and 220 V, with a frequency of 50 Hz. This means voltage levels can vary depending on your location, even between different accommodations. In India, your devices are typically designed for a 230 V electrical system. To ensure you don’t damage your devices, always check the local voltage before use, and if it’s 127 V, use a converter.

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, meaning you’ll only need a plug adapter for the outlets in Bonaire. This is typical for devices such as notebooks, smartphones, digital cameras, and also for tablets, e-readers, and some battery chargers.
