Afghanistan to Australia: Do You Need a Plug Adapter? Adapter Needed
Yes. Plugs from Afghanistan (Type C and Type F) don't fit the sockets in Australia (Type I), so you need a travel adapter.
- Type C (two round pins (the "Europlug")): doesn't fit sockets in Australia. You need an adapter.
- Type F (two round pins with grounding clips on the sides ("Schuko")): doesn't fit sockets in Australia. You need an adapter.
Voltage
Australia uses 230V, compared with 220V in Afghanistan. That is within the same range, so your devices will work without a voltage converter.
What to pack
Look for an adapter that accepts Type C and Type F plugs and fits Type I sockets. An adapter only changes the plug shape, not the voltage.
