Connectivity & Compatibility
This socket is designed for the European SCHUKO system and is not physically compatible with Japanese flat-pin plugs (Type A or B). To use it in Japan, you must provide a 230V AC power supply, either from a dedicated circuit or via a step-up transformer (100V → 230V). Direct connection to a 100V line will not work. Installation requires a specific JUNG backbox (sold separately), which differs from standard Japanese junction boxes. Electrical work should be performed by a licensed electrician. Additionally, the socket will only accept European plugs; for Japanese devices, you would need a separate adapter or different socket.
