Tajikistani power outlet

Various combinations of voltages and standards can often be daunting when planning to travel to a new country if you've never visited before. These instructions have been specifically written to stop you having to worry if you'll be able to charge your iPhone 6 Plus abroad.When you are visiting Tajikistan the following useful instructions show powering the iPhone 6 Plus using the Type F or C Tajikistani 220 volt 50Hz power outlets. When travelling to Tajikistan from a different region ensure that your iPhone 6 Plus can be used with a 240 volt supply. If it originated in a country which uses a lower voltage (for example 110v) check that the device is dual-voltage (marked with a 100-240 volt notation) else you may need to use an additional power transformer to prevent the device from overheating whilst powering it up.

If you are travelling to more than one country or bringing more than your iPhone 6 Plus the best international travel charger for Tajikistan to buy is a multiple USB charger which includes compatible plugs like a 4 port USB travel charger. Tajikistanis use two different standards of plug sockets (types F and C) and bringing this ensures that you are covered for type C. As these chargers are supplied with interchangeable plugs and handle 100 volts - 240 volts will mean that you can travel to multiple countries in Europe, Asia, North America and Africa simply by changing the supplied plugs over.
