Travel adapter from Brazil to Jamaica
Adapter Required
Yes — coming from Brazil, you will need a travel adapter for Jamaica. Brazil uses Type C/Type N plugs, and Jamaica uses Type A/Type B, so the pin shapes will not fit any wall socket. The mains frequency is also different (60 Hz vs 50 Hz). This rarely matters for electronics but can affect motor-driven devices like clocks and shavers.
