Mexico is a popular destination with tropical beaches, lively cities and historic sites. Before you travel, it’s useful to know which power plugs, sockets, voltage and frequency are used there.

There, the main plug types A and B are used and the standard supply is 127 V at 60 Hz. You will need a travel adapter because the local plug types differ from those used in your home country. Most modern devices support 100–240 V.

Tip In modern hotels and newer buildings you will often find grounded type B sockets, while older places may still use ungrounded type A outlets. If you need grounding for sensitive devices, check the socket type before plugging in.
