This 1-gang switched socket combines a standard 13A outlet with two USB charging ports, one Type A and one Type C, finished in brushed stainless steel. It suits bedrooms, living rooms and offices where you want to charge a phone or tablet without an adaptor plugged into the socket.

Key features

• USB ports, 1x Type A and 1x Type C, compatible with USB 2.0 and USB 3.0 devices
• Charging compatibility, designed to charge iPads, iPhones, tablets, mobiles, cameras and similar devices
• Overload protection, each USB port has an internal safety feature against overload or short circuit
• Safety shutter, operated by the earth pin of the plug
• Switching contact gap, minimum 3mm
• Installation, angled in-line terminals and backed-out captive screws for easier fitting

Installation notes

The socket requires a 40mm back box. The captive screws and angled terminals are meant to make wiring more straightforward for an installer working behind a single back box.

Applications

A single socket with USB charging ports like this one is useful anywhere you need to plug in an appliance and charge a device from the same point, such as a bedside table, hallway console or kitchen worktop area.
