Converter

Is a converter needed for electronic items like chargers?

No converter is needed. Everything from the US works fine.

From the FAQs:

What electrical current is used in Jamaica?

It's 110 volts, 50 cycles – US & Canadian electrical devices will work.

[IACouple]

Not if you are from the US. They run the same voltage, just 50Hz instead of 60Hz. All your chargers will work, they just may take longer.

[Bart and Bug]

No. If you're from the U.S. the plugs will look, and work, just like those back home.

[NeedBlueWater]

For you, no. Same outlet style as in the USA. The cycles run at a little slower rate than in the States so your hair dryer won't get quite as hot and chargers take a little longer to charge things fully, but it's really difficult to notice the difference.

No, no converter is required.
