The local supply in American Samoa is 120 V / 60 Hz. Your home power standard is compatible on both voltage and frequency, so no voltage converter is required. Most common devices can be used safely as long as the plug fits the socket or you use the correct travel adapter.
American Samoa is a US territory in the South Pacific with lush tropical scenery, traditional Samoan culture and one of the most dramatic natural harbors in the Pacific at Pago Pago.
There, the main plug types A, B, F and I are used and the standard supply is 120 V at 60 Hz. You will need a travel adapter because the local plug types differ from those used in your home country. Most modern devices support 100β240 V.
Tip American Samoa uses the same type A and B flat-pin sockets as the United States, running at 120V/60Hz. Travelers from Europe, Australia and most of Asia will need a flat-pin adapter to use their devices here.
