This electrical socket is common in: North and Central America, Japan. Soon to be part of the NETIO portfolio!
The Type B electrical socket (American standard NEMA 5-15) has two flat parallel pins and a round earth pin. The earth pin is longer than the flat pins so that the appliance is grounded before the power is applied. There are some minor differences between the US and the Japanese versions, as with the Type A plugs.
The Type B plug is used for currents up to 15 A.
