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.
Micronesia is often combined with trips to nearby countries like Palau and Guam. Worth checking the plug info for those too — the setup isn’t always the same.
Sockets in Micronesia
Micronesia uses Type A and B plugs and sockets.
Type A
Type A sockets have two flat parallel pins and no grounding. Unlike Type G, they don’t include an earth pin, which makes them less secure.
Type B
Type B sockets have two flat parallel pins plus a round grounding pin. Unlike Type G, the pins are thinner and there’s no built-in fuse.
Do You Need a Voltage Converter?
Some of your kit may need a voltage converter in Micronesia, since the local mains doesn’t line up with Britain’s 230 V.
Double-check your device’s voltage label when travelling. ‘100–240 V, 50/60 Hz’ means you won’t need a converter, which is the case for most up-to-date electronics.
Top Travel Essentials to Take With You
It’s not just about having the right adaptor — the little things matter too. A luggage scale helps you dodge those hefty airline fees, a power bank keeps you connected on the go, and packing cubes make packing (and unpacking) far less stressful. Once you’ve used them, you won’t want to travel without them.
