A physical adapter may be required

Your device's printed voltage rating covers this destination's 100V supply; verify wattage and connector separately

Japan uses both 50Hz and 60Hz regions; verify frequency-sensitive equipment.

DO NOT CONFUSE THESE

Six separate compatibility questions

Plug shape

Whether the pins physically fit the socket.

Voltage

Electrical potential; incompatible single-voltage devices may be damaged.

Frequency

50Hz or 60Hz can affect motors, clocks and some appliances.

Transformer / converter

Changes voltage for a suitable load; it is not the same as an adapter.

Universal supply

An input label such as 100–240V, 50/60Hz usually supports both systems within its rating.

USB-C Power Delivery

The charger, cable and device must negotiate a supported voltage/current profile.

PLUG ADAPTER QUESTIONS

Frequently asked questions

No. A plug adapter only changes the physical pin shape to fit a different socket. If your device is not rated for the destination's voltage, you need an actual voltage converter, which is a separate product.
