Electricity and plugs
From maps and listings · not yet checked by us
Panama uses the same plugs and voltage as the US and Canada: Type A and B sockets at 120 V, 60 Hz. North American devices work without adapters; UK and Israeli visitors need adapters.
Good to know
Type A sockets are two-prong; three-prong (Type B) plugs may need a simple adapter where only Type A outlets exist.
