Plugs Type

Same connectors

Ideal situation, all the connectors used in Jamaica are also used in Panama. Congratulations!!!

Adapters

You are lucky, don't need adapter.

Hertz

No equal hertz

This is not a big issue. Unless you are using an electric alarm clock and you have to wake up early!. Explanation: Some alarm clocks (not the battery powered ones, the ones that you have to plug to the wall outlet) uses the frequency of electricity to measure time. So, time shifts could be experimented. For more information about alarm clocks hertz shift click here. Apart this issue, almost every home electronic device works perfectly with different hertz.
