Plugs and Sockets at each country

In Hong Kong the following plugs are used:


Plug Type G	Plug Type D	Plug Type M

Considerations for Hong Kong

It is likely you will only find plugs-type "G" in Hong Kong. Plug types "D" and "M" are considered very old and they are not common. We keep the old-plugs in our database as we don't know your exact destination. As a rule of thumb, you will probably be fine with the type "G" in hotels.

... and in Argentina you will use: (includes Patagonia, Buenos Aires, Salta, Iguazú, Bariloche, Usuahia, Rosario, Tigre.)


Plug Type C	Plug Type I

Outlet Type C	Outlet Type I

Considerations for Argentina

Argentinian electrical network is stable and the 3rd major energy producer in Latin America. You should not expect major issues in the country.

Perfect! This is very good! You will not need any sort of voltage adapter (they are always big, heavy and they can't handle too much energy. i.e. might have problems with hairdryers). You can plug your devices to the electric network grid in Argentina without requiring a voltage adapter.

This adapter has a safety protection so you don't plug only one terminal into the adapter while touching the other with your finger, because it is generic, when you buy it pay attention to this safety mechanism. Overall a good adapter that has the earth connection pass-though (notice the metallic connector on the side.)
