Power Socket

A power socket is a wall outlet that connects appliances to the mains supply. It is specified by the market plug standard, current rating, gang count and whether it includes an integral switch.

⚠️ Note: Outlet standards, voltage and current ratings differ by country; selection and installation must comply with the destination's electrical code and be done by a qualified electrician.
