127 V
60 Hz
In Mexico, they use power outlets and plugs of type A and type B. The voltage is 127 V, and the frequency is 60 Hz.
You will need an adapter for type A power outlets in MexicoIn Mexico, power outlets are of type A and B, similar to USA. A plug adapter is required for type A outlets. B outlets are compatible with your plugs, although they aren't always common in some areas.
Your plug B does not match outlet type A.
Your plugs match outlet type B.
Bring a grounding adapter to use your three-prong type B plugs in two-prong type A outlets.Since you'll need a travel adapter for Mexico when coming from USA, 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. 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).
Mexico's voltage level of 127 V is quite similar to the 120 V system used in USA. These slight differences are usually considered by manufacturers.
120 V60 Hz127 V60 HzThere is no need for a voltage converter in Mexico, when traveling from USA.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 Mexico. This is typical for devices such as notebooks, smartphones, digital cameras, and also for tablets, e-readers, and some battery chargers.
Yes, since USA and Mexico use similar voltages (120 V and 127 V) and the same frequency (60 Hz), you can use your American hair dryer in Mexico without needing a voltage converter.
Yes, you can use your laptop or smartphone in Mexico without any issues, as the voltages are similar (120 V and 127 V) and the frequency the same in both countries (60 Hz).
Yes, your American curling iron or flat iron will work in Mexico without needing a voltage converter, since the voltages used in both countries are similar (120 V and 127 V) and the frequency the same (60 Hz).
Yes, when traveling from USA, you will need a power adapter for type A power outlets in Mexico.
No, you do not need a voltage converter since the voltages used in USA and Mexico are compatible (120 V and 127 V) and the frequency is the same (60 Hz).
See if your power plugs from USA fit into the sockets of other destinations and whether you need a voltage converter.
