This article covers サンワダイレクト 電源タップ 7個口 5m 3P 雷ガード マグネット 一括スイッチ ＜PSE取得＞700-TAP036 (× 4).

Overview

The Sanwa Direct 700-TAP036 is a 7-outlet power strip with a 5-meter (16.4 ft) power cord, designed for home and office use. It features three-prong (3P) outlets, surge protection (Varistor-based), a master switch for five of the seven outlets, and two strong magnets on the back for attaching to steel surfaces. The plug can rotate 180 degrees to accommodate tight spaces. This model is PSE certified for safety in Japan. It is especially convenient for connecting a desktop PC and its peripherals—monitor, printer, speakers, phone charger—all from one strip. The long cord makes it easy to place the strip even in corners or on large desks.

Connectivity & Compatibility

This power strip works with standard Japanese AC100V outlets (100V, 50/60Hz). The plug is a 3-pole type; if your wall outlet only accepts 2-pole plugs, you will need a 2-to-3 adapter (sold separately). Each outlet accepts 2-pole or 3-pole plugs (the third prong is grounding). The rotating plug allows flexible positioning. The "抜け止め" anti-slip outlets hold plugs securely to prevent accidental disconnection. Note that the master switch controls only five of the seven outlets; the other two are always powered. Surge protection uses a varistor; exact ratings are not disclosed, but it offers typical household-grade protection against indirect lightning strikes. Direct lightning strikes are not covered.

Product Info

The 700-TAP036 is sold by Sanwa Direct (the official direct store of Sanwa Supply) and priced at ¥8,320 on Japan as of May 2026. The warranty covers only initial defects. The package includes the power strip itself and a manual. Market positioning: this is a mid-range power strip offering a balanced set of features—7 outlets, long cord, surge protection, magnetic mount, and a master switch—at a reasonable price. It has passed Japan's PSE safety certification. Sanwa Direct also offers cheaper 6-outlet models and models with USB ports, but this model strikes the best balance for users who want surge protection, a magnet, and a master switch all in one.

Best Use Cases

Ideal for desktop PC setups where multiple peripherals (monitor, printer, speakers, chargers) need to be powered together and turned off with one switch to save standby power. The magnetic back makes it perfect for attaching to steel desk frames or server racks, keeping the desk surface clean. It's also a good choice for users in lightning-prone areas who want basic surge protection for computers, TVs, or gaming consoles. The long 5m cord suits rooms where wall outlets are far from the desk. For example, if you use a standing desk with monitor arms, you can attach the power strip to the desk frame with the magnets, eliminating dangling cables and making cleaning easier.
