Antigua and Barbuda to Jamaica: Do You Need a Plug Adapter? No Adapter Needed

No. Plugs from Antigua and Barbuda (Type A and Type B) fit the sockets in Jamaica (Type A and Type B).

• Type A (two flat parallel pins): fits Type A and Type B sockets in Jamaica.
• Type B (two flat parallel pins plus a round grounding pin): fits Type B sockets in Jamaica.

Voltage

Jamaica uses 110V, roughly half the 230V in Antigua and Barbuda. Chargers rated "100-240V" work fine, but single-voltage 230V appliances will run weakly or not at all without a step-up converter.

The grid frequency is 50Hz in Jamaica versus 60Hz in Antigua and Barbuda. This doesn't matter for chargers and most electronics, but appliances with motors or mains-timed clocks can run at a different speed.

What to pack

You don't need a plug adapter. Check the voltage rating on each device before plugging in.
