Travel adapter from Tajikistan to Colombia

Compare the plug shapes, voltage and frequency in Tajikistan and Colombia, and find out which adapter you need before you travel.

Adapter required

Yes — coming from Tajikistan, you will need a travel adapter for Colombia. Tajikistan uses Type C/Type F plugs, and Colombia uses Type A/Type B, so the pin shapes will not fit any wall socket. Voltages differ (230 V at home vs 110 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 (50 Hz vs 60 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 (50 Hz vs 60 Hz). Rarely an issue for most electronics, but can affect motor-driven devices like clocks and shavers.

More about plugs in Colombia

In Colombia, the standard power plug is Type A and Type B. The country runs on 110 volts at 60 Hz. That means wall sockets in Colombia can be one of 2 different shapes — Type A, Type B, and your plug needs to physically match the socket to fit.
