The concept of electrical outlets emerged in the late 19th and early 20th centuries with the widespread adoption of electricity in homes and industries. Japan adopted standard electrical outlets in the early 20th century, following international designs, and over time developed the Type A and Type B plugs commonly used today.
Today, electrical outlets are essential in homes, offices, and public spaces, providing safe and convenient access to electric power for countless devices and appliances.
