Can I Use My MacBook Pro Charger (USB-C Power Adapter) in Mexico?

Q: What plug type does Mexico use?

Mexico uses Type A/B sockets at 127V / 60Hz.

Your MacBook pro charger (USB-C power adapter) can work in Mexico if its actual input rating, frequency and plug match the local supply.

Conditional compatibility

Use directly only if your actual input rating covers the local voltage and frequency and your plug fits with any required grounding. A typical category profile does not confirm your own unit.

Why

Use directly only if your actual input rating covers the local voltage and frequency and your plug fits with any required grounding. A typical category profile does not confirm your own unit. Apple chargers are dual-voltage (100–240V, 50/60Hz) — they work safely on every grid in the world, including Japan's 100V and Europe's 230V. You only ever need a plug-shape adapter, never a voltage converter. Frequency does not matter for this charger.

Mexico runs 127⁠V / 60⁠Hz. Mexico runs 127V at 60Hz with US-style Type A/B sockets. US and Canadian devices work as-is — no adapter or converter needed.
