Solomon Islands are located in Oceania in the South Pacific Ocean.  Solomon Islands uses a couple of different type of adapter plugs.  When traveling to a foreign country it is important to take along the correct adapter for your destination country.  The Solomon Islands Complete Deluxe Adapter Plug Travel Kit includes both grounded and non grounded adapter plugs and ships Priority Mail.

The Standard Solomon Islands Adapter Kit included grounded plugs.  The Basic Solomon Islands Adapter Plug Kit includes non grounded plugs.

These adaptor plugs enable your appliance's plug configuration to fit into  Oceania electrical power outlets. Adapter plugs allow electrical connections up to 240 volts. An adapter plug does NOT change the current or voltage (this requires a converter) unless your appliance is dual voltage. Grounded adapter plugs maintain the ground from the electrical outlet to your appliance.

Many of our customers find it handy to have multiple adaptors while traveling - either to run several appliances simultaneously or simply as a backup.

Cycles: 50 Hz vs. 60 Hz.

Solomon Islands operates on 220 volt electricity and is generated at 50Hz (Cycles) Alternating Current. United States 110-120 volt electricity is generated at 60Hz (Cycles) Alternating Current. This difference in cycles may cause the motor in your 60Hz United States appliance to operate slightly slower when used on 50Hz foreign electricity. Most modern electronic equipment including battery chargers, computers, iPods, etc., will not be affected by the difference in cycle.

Computers and Apple Products

If you are traveling overseas with a Toshiba, HP, Lenovo, Asus, laptop or Apple device such as an iPad, chances are you won’t need a voltage converter. Most laptops are multi-voltage and will operate on voltages ranging from 100 to 240 volts. However, computers do need to make safe connections to foreign power systems and a surge protector is recommended and you will still need an adapter to use your plug.
