AMERICAN / JAPANESE PLUG

2 Pin 15 AMP American / Japanese Plug

The Type A electrical plug (or flat blade) is an ungrounded plug with two flat parellel pins. Although the Amrican and Japanees plugs appear identical. The natural pin on the American plug is wider than the live pin, whereas on the Japanese plug both pin are the same size. As a result Japanese plug can be used in the US but often not the other way around. The pin on Type A & Type B Plugs have a hole near the tip that fits into 'bumps' found on the contact wipers of some socket, so that the pin are gripped more tightly allowing for better contact and also to prevent the plug from slipping out of the socket. Some socket have spring-action blades that grip the sides of the pin, marking the hole obsolete.
