Jamaica is located in the Caribbean and is an extremely popular travel destination. Jamaica uses the North America, two flat pin, style of adapter plug that is used in the United States. Going In Style Jamaica adapter plug accepts polarized appliance plugs.
Non-Grounded Adapter Plugs
Going In Style offers non-grounded adapter plugs for use with your voltage converter, transformer, or dual/multi voltage appliance. A non-grounded United States plug has two flat blades.
Cycles and Volts
Jamaica operates on 110 volt electricity and is generated at 50Hz (Cycles) Alternating Current. United States 110-120 volt electricity is generated at 60Hz (Cycles) Alternating Current. This difference in cycles may cause the motor in your 60Hz United States appliance to operate slightly slower when used on 50Hz foreign electricity. Most modern electronic equipment including battery chargers, Lenovo, HP, Asus, Toshiba computers, iPods, etc., will not be affected by the difference in cycle.
Why do I need a U.S. (North America) adapter if I am from the U.S.?
The U.S. requires all outlets to be polarized for safety, meaning one prong is larger than the other. Most other countries do not have polarized outlets, and therefore, your plugs will not fit into their smaller outlets unless you take the adapter.
Do I need a grounded or non-grounded adapter plug?
If your device has three prongs you will need a grounded adapter. Two pronged plugs will fit in either grounded or non-grounded adapters.
