Sockets in Trinidad and Tobago
The plug types you’ll find in Trinidad and Tobago are 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.
Recommended Travel Adaptor for Trinidad and Tobago
After extensive testing on the road and careful checks on safety, durability, functionality and cost, this adaptor proved to be the most reliable choice.
Left your adaptor at home? Airports and local shops tend to have them. But having your own is safer, cheaper, and far less stressful.
Trinidad and Tobago is commonly paired with nearby countries like Grenada and Barbados. Worth a quick look at those pages — plugs and voltage can be different.
Do You Need a Voltage Converter?
You’ll probably need a voltage converter in Trinidad and Tobago for certain devices, as the mains supply there doesn’t match ours. In the UK we use 230 V, so the voltage isn’t the same.
Always check the voltage label before plugging in abroad; if it reads ‘100–240 V, 50/60 Hz’, your device will usually work without a converter.
Top Travel Essentials to Take With You
Travelling light doesn’t mean leaving the essentials behind. A luggage scale is a lifesaver at check-in, a power bank makes sure your gadgets are always ready, and packing cubes keep everything neat and easy to find. We’ve used them on countless trips, and they’ve earned their spot in our bags every time.
