Democratic Republic of the Congo Travel Adapters
Type C and Type E • 220–230 volts • 50 Hz
The Democratic Republic of the Congo (formerly Zaire) is a large country in Central Africa bordered by the Republic of the Congo, the Central African Republic, South Sudan, Uganda, Rwanda, Burundi, Tanzania, Zambia, and Angola, with a short coastline along the Atlantic Ocean. The capital city is Kinshasa, located along the Congo River opposite Brazzaville, the capital of the neighboring Republic of the Congo. The country contains vast rainforests, major river systems, and abundant natural resources within the Congo Basin.
The Democratic Republic of the Congo uses mains electricity supplied at about 220–230 volts at 50 Hz. Wall outlets use Type C and Type E sockets. Travelers from regions that use different plug types should bring a compatible travel adapter. Visitors should confirm that their electronic devices support 100–240V input or use an appropriate voltage converter if necessary.

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.
