Benin Travel Adapters
Type C and Type E • 230 volts • 50 Hz
Benin is a country in West Africa located along the Gulf of Guinea between Togo and Nigeria. Known for its historical role in the Kingdom of Dahomey and as part of the region once referred to as the Slave Coast, Benin has a diverse cultural heritage and strong regional trade connections. The capital is Porto-Novo, and the currency is the West African CFA franc.
Benin uses mains electricity supplied at about 230 volts at 50 Hz. Wall outlets use European plug designs, specifically Type C and Type E sockets. Travelers from regions that use different plug types should bring a compatible travel adapter. Visitors from 120V countries should confirm that their devices support 100–240V input or use an appropriate voltage converter.

Plug types are listed because they are encountered in at least some installations. Presence may be partial, legacy, mixed, or situational. A travel adapter, also spelled travel adaptor, changes plug fit only; a voltage converter, sometimes searched as a voltage convertor, is needed only for devices that are not dual voltage. No plug type is excluded due to limited or declining use.
