    Type J is superior in every aspect. -compact, you can fit 3 plugs into an outlet while Type F only fits one for example. -robust. -cannot reverse polarity. -no fuse required as the law requires proper fuses in every electric installation with law enforced periodical checks. -round pins that cannot puncture your skin if you step on them. It’s hard to face the pins upwards anyway.

      Compact in one dimension, but it is very long.
      This makes it awkward in tight spaces compared to something like a UK plug.

        You have this and variants of it, with the plug being recessed you could probably have it take up less space in all dimensions over the UK plug
