110 / 220 V
60 Hz
In Suriname, they use power outlets and plugs of type C and type F. The voltage is 110 / 220 V, and the frequency is 60 Hz.
You will need an adapter for type C power outlets in Suriname. Consider getting a voltage converter.
Be cautious with some devices due to the frequency difference.In Suriname, power outlets are of type C and F, similar to Netherlands. A plug adapter is required for type C outlets. F 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 match outlet type F.
Power plug F works with type C outlets, though it doesn’t have grounding support.Since you'll need a travel adapter for Suriname 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. 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).Since you also need an international power (voltage) converter to keep your devices protected (more info further down), getting a combo power adapter/converter might be the best solution.
Suriname uses both 110 V and 220 V, with a frequency of 60 Hz. This means voltage levels can vary depending on your location, even between different accommodations. In Netherlands, your devices are typically designed for a 230 V electrical system. To ensure you don't damage your devices, always check the local voltage before use, and if it's 110 V, use a converter. Additionally, be aware that Suriname's 60 Hz frequency differs from Netherlands' 50 Hz, which could impact the performance of some devices.

110 / 220 V
60 HzA voltage converter might be required, as Suriname voltage levels vary and may not match your electronics.A voltage converter keeps your electrical devices from Netherlands running properly by adjusting the power to the right voltage. Without it, your devices could overheat or get damaged from the wrong power supply. Since you need a travel adapter as well, a combo power (voltage) converter with adapter features might be a good choice.
Please note: If your voltage converter can't switch the frequency, it's safer not to use your electronics. Proceeding without caution could lead to issues, especially with devices that rely on precise timing or motors, like hair dryers, electric razors, kitchen appliances, and health-related equipment such as blood pressure monitors. These kinds of electronics are more vulnerable to damage or malfunction when the frequency is off. If you choose to use them anyway, be extremely cautious and always check the specifications first.
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 Suriname. This is typical for devices such as notebooks, smartphones, digital cameras, and also for tablets, e-readers, and some battery chargers.
In Suriname's 110 V regions you will need a voltage converter as your hair dryer is designed for Suriname's 230 V. Even where Suriname's outlets deliver 220 V, you may still encounter issues due to the difference in frequency (50 Hz in Netherlands vs. 60 Hz in Suriname). The hair dryer could run slower or heat unevenly.
Yes, most laptops and smartphones support a wide voltage range (100-240V), so you can use them in Suriname without a voltage converter. Since both countries use the same frequency (60 Hz), there’s no issue.
In Suriname's 110 V regions you will need a voltage converter to prevent malfunction as your curling iron / hair straightener is designed for Suriname's 230 V. Even in regions where Suriname's outlets deliver 220 V, the difference in frequency (60 Hz in Suriname vs. 50 Hz in Netherlands) may cause it to heat unevenly or work differently.
Yes, when traveling from Netherlands, you will need a power adapter for type C power outlets in Suriname.
In Suriname's 110 V regions you will need a voltage converter, since your Netherlands' device will typically support 230 V. In regions where 220 is used, you won't need a converter, but the frequency difference (60 Hz vs. 50 Hz) might affect performance.
See if your power plugs from Netherlands fit into the sockets of other destinations and whether you need a voltage converter.
