Cameroon to Panama: Complete Plug & Adapter Guide (2026) Adapter Needed

Planning a trip from Cameroon to Panama? One of the first things to sort out before you travel is whether your electronics will work at your destination. Power outlets, plug shapes, and voltage standards vary around the world, and Panama is no exception.

There's no plug compatibility between Cameroon and Panama. Cameroon devices use Type C/E connectors, while Panama sockets are Type A/B. An adapter is a must-have for this destination.

Be aware that Cameroon runs on 220V at 50Hz, while Panama uses 120V at 60Hz. This voltage difference matters for appliances like hair dryers, curling irons, and electric shavers that aren't dual-voltage. Check the label on your devices. If it says "100-240V," you're fine. Otherwise, you'll need a voltage converter.

Rather than packing bulky converters, consider buying travel-sized dual-voltage versions of appliances you can't live without. For phones and laptops, all you'll need is the right plug adapter since their chargers almost always support worldwide voltage.
