Electricity & Plugs in Campinas

Voltage: Nominal supply is 127/220 V; check the voltage of each accommodation outlet.

Outlet Types: Brazil uses types N (three round pins), C (two round pins), Brazil’s standardized sockets have three round holes, accepting the corresponding two- or three-round-pin Brazilian plugs.

Adapters & Converters:

• International travelers should bring universal adapter for type N/C plugs
• Most modern electronics (phones, laptops) are dual-voltage - check device labels
• A 220 V appliance on a 127 V supply needs a suitably rated step-up transformer.
• Available in electronics stores and airport shops (may be expensive)

Practical Tips: Bring adapter before arrival, as finding correct type can be challenging. USB charging ports increasingly common in hotels and cafés.
