Travel adapter from Ecuador to Myanmar

✅

No Adapter Needed

You will not need a plug adapter — Ecuador and Myanmar share at least one common plug shape (Type A, Type B). Voltages differ (120 V at home vs 230 V abroad), so check the label on each device. Most modern dual-voltage chargers handle the swing without a converter, but heating appliances usually do not. 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.

More about plugs in Myanmar

In Myanmar, the standard power plug is Type A and Type B and Type C and Type D and Type E and Type F and Type G and Type I. The country runs on 230 volts at 50 Hz. That means wall sockets in Myanmar can be one of 8 different shapes — Type A, Type B, Type C, Type D, Type E, Type F, Type G, Type I, and your plug needs to physically match the socket to fit.
