Travel adapters for Antigua and Barbuda

Most modern phones, laptops, cameras, and tablets are rated for 100–240 V, so you only need a simple plug-shape adapter when the voltage matches what your charger supports. Because Antigua and Barbuda runs at the higher 110/220 V range, travelers from the United States, Canada, or Japan must check the label on each device. Anything marked “120 V only” will be destroyed if plugged in without a step-down voltage converter. For a Type A/Type B socket, a universal travel adapter or a region-specific adapter is enough for chargers that handle dual voltage.
