Senegal's standard voltage is 230V with 50Hz frequency. If your device is labeled "100-240V 50/60Hz", you only need a plug adapter. If the device only supports single voltage (like 110V or 220V devices), you'll need a voltage converter to protect your device from damage.
View Voltage Converters on Amazon - Which devices need voltage converters in Senegal?
The following devices typically need voltage converters: hair dryers, straighteners, irons, some small appliances. The following devices typically only need plug adapters: phone chargers, laptops, tablets, camera chargers, electric toothbrush chargers. Check the voltage range on device labels before use. If you need to address both plug adaptation and voltage conversion, consider purchasing combination converters.
