Artsakh (Nagorno-Karabakh) Travel Adapters
Type C & Type F • 230 volts • 50 Hz
Gandzasar Monastery's main church was built between 1216 and 1238 under Hasan-Jalal Dawla, prince of Khachen, and consecrated in 1240. Its most notable feature is a richly carved 16-sided dome, decorated with bas-reliefs including a crucifixion scene and figures of the church's donors, which art historians have called an encyclopedia of Armenian architectural ornament.
Artsakh, also known as Nagorno-Karabakh, is a mountainous region in the South Caucasus internationally recognized as part of Azerbaijan. The territory was self-administered by ethnic Armenian authorities for several decades following the collapse of the Soviet Union, a period of self-administration that ended in 2023. The area is located between Armenia and Azerbaijan in the South Caucasus.
Electrical infrastructure in Artsakh follows the standard used in Azerbaijan, with mains electricity supplied at 230 volts at 50 Hz. Wall outlets use Type C and Type F. Travelers from regions that use different plug types need a travel adapter for Type C or Type F; equipment that is not dual voltage requires an appropriate voltage converter.

Do I need a voltage converter for Artsakh?
Only if your device isn't dual voltage. Most phones, laptops, and cameras are rated for 100–240V and only need a plug adapter for outlets in the region. High-wattage single-voltage appliances, like hair dryers, straighteners, or some CPAP machines, need a voltage converter, not just an adapter. Check the device label for its voltage rating before you travel.
Can I use my US phone charger in Artsakh?
Most modern phone and laptop chargers are rated for 100–240V, so they work on the region's 230V supply without a separate converter. You'll still need a plug adapter, since the charger's US plug won't physically fit the outlets used there.
Are Artsakh and US power outlets interchangeable?
No. Artsakh uses Type C and Type F outlets and the US uses Type A/B. The plug shapes are different, and the region runs at 230V compared to 120V in the US, so a plug adapter alone is only safe for devices that already support both voltages.
Does Artsakh use more than one plug type?
Yes. The region uses two plug types: Type C, a two round-pin Europlug, and Type F, a grounded Schuko-style plug with two earthing clips. An adapter rated for Type F will also fit Type C sockets, so either one will work.
