Recommended Travel Adaptor for Chad
We’ve put many adaptors through their paces while travelling. In this country you’ll need more than one type, as no single adaptor works everywhere. Below you’ll find the ones that passed our tests for safety, reliability and value.
Realised abroad that you’ve left your adaptor behind? You’ll often find them in airports and shops nearby. Still, carrying your own is cheaper and more reliable.
Chad is usually combined with trips to Cameroon and Niger. Worth checking the plug info — countries in the region don’t all use the same system.
Sockets in Chad
In Chad, you’ll find Type C, D, E, and F plugs and sockets.
Type C
Type C sockets have two round pins and no grounding. Unlike Type G, they take a slimmer plug without an earth pin or fuse.
Type D
Type D sockets have three large round pins in a triangular shape. Unlike Type G, they lack a fuse and the pins are round rather than rectangular.
Type E
Type E sockets have two round pins and a hole for the socket’s earth pin. UK Type G plugs do not fit into Type E sockets.
Type F
Type F sockets have two round pins with two earth clips on the side. UK Type G plugs do not fit into Type F sockets.
Do You Need a Voltage Converter?
A power converter is only required when voltages differ. In Chad it’s about the same as at home in Britain, so you can skip it.
Make sure to look at the voltage label before travelling. Devices marked ‘100–240 V, 50/60 Hz’ will operate abroad without any converter.
Top Travel Essentials to Take With You
It’s often the overlooked bits of kit that help the most. A luggage scale spares you the stress of overweight bags, a power bank keeps you going when outlets are scarce, and packing cubes keep everything in its place. We’ve tested them on the road, and they really earn their keep.
