In Jamaica, they use power outlets and plugs of type A and type B. The voltage is 110 V, and the frequency is 50 Hz.
You will need an adapter for type A and B power outlets in Jamaica You will need a voltage converter as well.In Jamaica, type A and B power outlets are used, while in India, you use plugs C, D and M. If you're traveling to Jamaica, you'll need a power adapter for types A and B, as your power plugs won't fit the sockets there.
Your plugs C, D and M do not match outlet type A.
Your plugs C, D and M do not match outlet type B.
Since you'll need a travel adapter for Jamaica when coming from India, we suggest opting for a universal power adapter that works in many countries and will also prepare you for future trips.
Make sure to get a power adapter for outlets of type A and B. 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.
Jamaica uses 110 V at 50 Hz, while India operates on 230 V at 50 Hz. This voltage difference can affect your devices if they are not designed to handle both standards, potentially causing damage or malfunction.
230 V
50 Hz110 V50 HzA voltage converter is necessary to safeguard your devices in Jamaica.A voltage converter keeps your electrical devices from Jamaica running properly by adjusting the power to the right voltage. Without it, your devices could overheat or get damaged from the wrong power supply. Since you need a travel adapter as well, a combo power (voltage) converter with adapter features might be a good choice.
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 Jamaica. This is typical for devices such as notebooks, smartphones, digital cameras, and also for tablets, e-readers, and some battery chargers.
No, you will need a voltage converter. Since India uses 230 V and Jamaica uses 110 V, your Indian hair dryer won’t work properly in Jamaica without a converter. The same frequency (50 Hz) means that’s not an issue, but the voltage difference will cause the hair dryer to malfunction or not work at all.
Yes, most laptops and smartphones are designed to support a wide voltage range (100-240V), so they will work in Jamaica without needing a voltage converter.
No, you will need a voltage converter to use your Indian curling iron or flat iron in Jamaica. The voltage is much lower in Jamaica (110 V), and without a converter, your device will not function properly. Since the frequency is the same (50 Hz), that won't be an issue.
Yes, when traveling from India, you will need a power adapter for type A and B power outlets in Jamaica.
Yes, you will need a voltage converter for devices that are only designed to operate on 230 V, as Jamaica's voltage is much lower at 110 V. However, devices like laptops and smartphones that support 100-240V won’t need a converter.
