Travel adapter from Philippines to Nauru
Adapter Required
Yes — coming from Philippines, you will need a travel adapter for Nauru. Philippines uses Type A/Type B/Type C plugs, and Nauru uses Type I, 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.
