Buying Japanese power cables: suitable solutions for Type A, Type B and 100 V
Anyone wishing to select or purchase a Japanese power cable should not focus solely on the shape of the plug. Other crucial factors include Type A or Type B, the correct device plug, the Japanese mains voltage of 100 V, and the intended use in IT, industry, AV, OEM or export projects.
In this category, you will find power cables for Japan featuring the standard combinations of IEC C7, C5, C13 and C19. This allows both small appliances and professional applications to be equipped with the appropriate country-specific connection cable.
When is Type A the right choice for power cables in Japan?
Type A is usually the right choice in Japan for 2-pin devices without a protective earth. Depending on the application, these include, for example, smaller AV devices, power supplies or consumer products with a suitable device-side connector.
Typical combinations include, for example, Japanese Type A to C7 power cables for insulated appliances and compact applications.
When is Type B the better choice?
Type B is generally the appropriate version for earthed devices. This applies, amongst other things, to many applications with C5, C13 or C19, for example in IT environments, with monitors, servers, power supplies or industrial hardware.
For professional applications, a Japanese power cable Type B is usually the technically sound and practical solution.

Practical benefits: Suitable Japanese power cables with Type A or Type B simplify device selection, improve project planning and support professional delivery to the Japanese market.
100 V in Japan: an important consideration when selecting
When selecting power cables for Japan, it is always important to bear in mind that the voltage in Japan is 100 volts. A suitable cable is therefore only part of the solution. Equally important is the question of whether the connected device is designed for 100 V or a suitable input voltage range.
Depending on the region, either 50 Hz or 60 Hz is used in Japan. This point should be checked at an early stage, particularly for sensitive or frequency-dependent devices.
To ensure the right choice, therefore, always consider the plug type, device connection, voltage and intended use together.
