In DR Congo, they use power outlets and plugs of type C, type D and type E. The voltage is 220 V, and the frequency is 50 Hz.
You will need an adapter for type C and D power outlets in DR Congo.In DR Congo, power outlets are of type C, D and E, similar to Netherlands. A plug adapter is required for type C and D outlets. E outlets are compatible with your plugs, although they aren't always common in some areas.
Your plug F does not match outlet type C.
Your plugs C and F do not match outlet type D.
Your plugs match outlet type E.
Ensure your plug F devices are compatible, as some older models might not have the necessary pinhole for outlets of type E. If they aren't compatible, you'll need an adapter.Power plug F works with type C outlets, though it doesn’t have grounding support.Since you'll need a travel adapter for DR Congo when coming from Netherlands, we suggest opting for a universal power adapter that works in many countries and will also prepare you for future trips.
Make sure to get a power adapter for outlets of type C and D. If you often go abroad, consider getting an all-in-one adapter (most adapters even have additional charging ports for USB-A and USB-C).
DR Congo's voltage level of 220 V is quite similar to the 230 V system used in Netherlands. These slight differences are usually considered by manufacturers.
230 V50 Hz220 V50 HzThere is no need for a voltage converter in DR Congo, when traveling from Netherlands.Pay attention to the frequency difference.To confirm, check if your devices require a voltage converter by looking at the 'INPUT' label, typically found on the power adapter or charger. If the label shows "INPUT: 100-240V, 50/60 Hz," the device is built to handle different voltage and frequency ranges, meaning you'll only need a plug adapter for the outlets in DR Congo. This is typical for devices such as notebooks, smartphones, digital cameras, and also for tablets, e-readers, and some battery chargers.
Yes, since Netherlands and DR Congo use similar voltages (230 V and 220 V) and the same frequency (50 Hz), you can use your Dutch hair dryer in DR Congo without needing a voltage converter.
Yes, you can use your laptop or smartphone in DR Congo without any issues, as the voltages are similar (230 V and 220 V) and the frequency the same in both countries (50 Hz).
Yes, your Dutch curling iron or flat iron will work in DR Congo without needing a voltage converter, since the voltages used in both countries are similar (230 V and 220 V) and the frequency the same (50 Hz).
Yes, when traveling from Netherlands, you will need a power adapter for type C and D power outlets in DR Congo.
No, you do not need a voltage converter since the voltages used in Netherlands and DR Congo are compatible (230 V and 220 V) and the frequency is the same (50 Hz).
See if your power plugs from Netherlands fit into the sockets of other destinations and whether you need a voltage converter.
