The BG Black Nickel Low Profile 13A 2 Gang Socket with USB features a pair of 13 amp sockets with matching rocker switches and black inserts. At the top centre of the wall plate is two USB ports (2.1A - 5V total output), which accommodate 'Type A' USB connectors. These let the user charge mobile devices directly from the mains without needing 3-pin plugs. Usefully, that leaves the 13A sockets free for mains-powered appliances.
Attractively designed, the BG Low Profile 13A 2 Gang Socket has softly rounded edges and a lightly lacquered surface to reduce fingerprints. An integral gasket keeps out moisture. The socket is fitted with twin earth terminals for high integrity earthing, in accordance with BS 7671:2008 requirements. A minimum mounting box depth of 35mm is needed, and a 10mm spacer is supplied to allow retrofit installation with a 25mm box. Colour coded captive terminals are also included.
In addition to its traditional role as a mains outlet, this high quality socket is ideal for charging phones, tablets, cameras, GPS units, music players and innumerable other types of device.
Underlining the high quality of this product is a manufacturer's guarantee of 25 years. Matching items from the same BG Nexus Metal range are available from Lyco.
