Travel adapter from Honduras to Congo (Republic)

Compare the plug shapes, voltage and frequency in Honduras and Congo (Republic), and find out which adapter you need before you travel.

Adapter required

Yes — coming from Honduras, you will need a travel adapter for Congo (Republic). Honduras uses Type A/Type B plugs, and Congo (Republic) uses Type C/Type E, so the pin shapes will not fit any wall socket. 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.

Voltage converter may be needed. Check your device label — most modern electronics (phones, laptops) support 100–240 V and only need a plug adapter. Hair dryers, kettles, and older appliances may need a step-up or step-down converter.
Frequency differs (60 Hz vs 50 Hz). Rarely an issue for most electronics, but can affect motor-driven devices like clocks and shavers.
