Like Siemens, Panasonic was also the first foreign company to participate in China's construction after the reform and opening up, but the difference is that Panasonic did not enter the electrical industry at that time, but entered the production and manufacturing of picture tubes, and the electrical enterprise was officially established in 1993.
 
After 100 years of development, Panasonic has continuously adjusted its strategy, from expansion and diversification to structural streamlining in recent years, and now Panasonic is focusing more on home appliances, automotive electronic equipment and new energy fields, and the electrical business is no longer the core of Panasonic. Compared with Legrand and Simon's continuous investment and research and development in the electrical industry, Panasonic's influence in the electrical field is not as good as before.
 
However, Panasonic is an old brand after all, the quality of the socket is still relatively excellent, the overall belongs to the high-end grade, the price is not low, the cost performance is relatively not very high, the product series are numerous, basically self-produced, which is different from Siemens' "self-produced OEM" model, but the Panasonic factory is located in China, Chinese mainland Panasonic switches, sockets are produced in China, Nissan is quite few.
 
In terms of materials, Panasonic socket current carriers mostly use copper, compared with tin phosphor bronze, its elasticity and durability are slightly worse, but almost all Panasonic products use fully enclosed fast terminals, the wiring is extremely fast, easy to install, the live part will not be exposed, and the safety is relatively good, so the manufacturing cost is relatively high, and the price is naturally higher.
 
Quyue series, Gecai series is Panasonic's main high-end series, 27mm jack spacing is huge, nearly one centimeter more than Schneider Interpretation, two or three holes of electrical appliances at the same time without pressure. However, the price of Quyue series and Gecai series is about 32 yuan, which is considered high even in mid-to-high-end products. If you pursue cost-effective, the average price is 7-8 yuan of Zhiqu, Jian Shang series is also a good choice, its core components are similar to Quyue, grid color, but the jack spacing is narrow.
 
LEVELART series is Panasonic's current highest-end product, the panel is made of metal brushed material, only 2mm thin, it is one of the thinnest wall sockets with the thickness of the panel, the contrast asymmetrical design is suitable for European decoration style, but its jack spacing is small, the practicality is average, coupled with its ultra-high price starting at 118 yuan, the overall cost performance is very low.
 
However, there is only one five-hole socket with a protective door in the Hongcai series and artist series sockets, which is missing in terms of safety protection, and users need to pay attention to this problem when purchasing.
 
In addition, Panasonic socket panels are one of the most counterfeited brands, even more serious than domestic flying eagles, and it is very easy to buy fakes, so you must pay extra attention and try to buy them in official flagship stores or specialty stores.
