In Argentina, here’s what travelers need to know about electricity voltage and plug types:
🔌 Plug Types #
-
Type C: Two round pins (same as in most of Europe).
-
Type I: Three flat pins in a triangular shape (unique to Argentina, similar to Australia but slightly different).
-
Many sockets accept both C and I, but carrying a universal adapter is safest.
⚡ Voltage & Frequency #
-
Voltage: 220 V
-
Frequency: 50 Hz
-
This means:
-
Travelers from Europe (220–240 V) → devices will work fine with just a plug adapter.
-
Travelers from North America/Japan (110–120 V) → check your device. If it’s not dual-voltage (110–240 V), you’ll need a voltage converter.
-
✅ Quick Tips #
-
Most laptops, cameras, and phone chargers are already dual-voltage (look for “Input: 100–240V” on the label).
-
High-wattage appliances (hair dryers, straighteners, electric shavers) often are not dual-voltage → bring a converter or buy locally.
-
Power outages are rare but a portable power bank is handy.
