Travel Socket Plugs for Turkey

Turkey uses the Type C and Type F power socket plugs.

• Type C is the most common plug in Europe. It has two round pins.
• Type F, also known as “Schuko,” has two round pins and two grounding clips on the side.

Voltage and Frequency:

• Turkey operates on a 220V supply voltage and 50Hz.

Recommendations:

• Type F is the safest and most recommended plug type to use in Turkey because it is grounded, reducing the risk of electric shock.
• If your devices have a Type C plug, they will also work in Turkey without an adapter, as Type F sockets are designed to accept Type C plugs.
• If you are coming from a country that uses a different plug type (like the UK, US, or Australia), you will need a plug adapter to use your devices in Turkey.
• Important Note: If your devices operate on a different voltage (e.g., 110V in the US), you will also need a voltage converter in addition to a plug adapter to prevent damage to your devices. Check the voltage label on your devices to be sure.

In short, you should bring a Type F adapter (or a universal adapter that includes Type F) to Turkey. If you only have devices with Type C plugs, you don’t need an adapter. And always remember to check the voltage requirements of your devices.
