13 Amp Switched Socket with USB Socket – Type A+C Charging – 1 British Standard Interface
R30491C is a double pole switched socket complete with USB ports, fitted into a single 86mm x 86mm R30 panel. It features a 13A double pole switched socket, a USB-A port, and a USB-C port, offering the functionality of a hybrid power supply or socket. It is ideal for modern homes and business environments.
The USB socket includes one Type A and one Type C charging port, allowing devices to charge directly from the wall power supply, eliminating the need for bulky adapters connected to regular 3-pin sockets often used with other appliances.
Both USB ports — Type A and Type C — conform to IEC 60884, BS1363, and IEC 62680 specifications. Designed as part of the R30 range, the R30491C will integrate seamlessly with other R30 components to fit standard British 1-gang (86mm × 86mm) back boxes, matching other R30 light switches and sockets.
Triple Function in One Wall Socket: This socket combines a 13A double pole switched socket, a USB-A charger, and a USB-C charger into one compact unit. It features a rocker switch with a neon “power on” indicator for added convenience, while the USB ports function independently of the plugged power socket.
USB Type A + USB Type C – 2.1A Total: The USB-A and USB-C configuration supports both legacy USB devices and newer Type-C-enabled phones and tablets. With a total output of 2.1A, it provides consistent and reliable charging power for daily devices, while the 3-pin outlet remains available for other appliances such as kettles or table lamps.
R30 Build Standard – 62 Brass + Red Copper + Silver Contacts
The switch mechanism in this 13A USB socket utilizes a red copper busbar system with a Φ3.5mm × 0.35mm silver alloy contact point for long-term durability and arc control. The socket contacts are constructed from 0.7mm high-purity 62% brass with an integrated copper structure, designed for a strong pin retention capable of up to 30,000 usage cycles. The USB charger module is self-contained and equipped with full overcurrent and short-circuit protection. The PC front panel, high-strength base, and iron middle plate maintain the robust and durable build quality indicative of all R30 series switches and sockets.

Applications of the R30491C USB Wall Socket
Comprehensive usage recommendations for contractors and distributors interested in a 13A switched wall socket with integrated USB charging capabilities.
Common Application Areas
For use in hotel rooms or office spaces, providing convenient charging solutions at bedside or desktops while leaving the 13A socket available for other devices. Eliminate clutter by reducing the need for USB adapters in home settings like kitchens or bedrooms.
Independent USB Operation
The independent operation of USB ports means devices can charge even when the switched socket is turned off. While the neon indicator alerts the socket status, USB remains operational so long as the circuit has power.

Frequently Asked Questions
What USB ports does this switched socket have?
The R30491C features one USB‑A port and one Type‑C port, with a combined output of 2.1A. The USB‑A port supports standard charging cables for phones, tablets, and small devices. The Type‑C port accommodates modern devices with USB‑C charging. Both ports operate independently from the 13A socket switch.
Does the USB still charge when the socket switch is off?
Yes, the USB‑A and Type‑C ports are powered independently from the 13A socket. They continue to charge devices even when the rocker switch is in the off position, as long as the circuit is live at the consumer unit. The neon indicator shows socket status only.
Is this socket compliant with UK electrical standards?
The R30491C is triple‑certified: IEC 60884 for the socket outlet, BS1363 for the British 3‑pin format, and IEC 62680 for the USB charging module. It fits a standard 86×86mm British back box and accepts all standard UK 3‑pin plugs.
Does the USB module support fast charging?
The USB module provides 2.1A total output across both ports, suitable for standard charging of phones, tablets, e‑readers, and small USB‑powered devices. This is not a Qualcomm Quick Charge or USB Power Delivery fast‑charging module — it is designed for reliable everyday charging at standard speed.
Can I get a sample before placing a bulk order?
Yes, we encourage B2B buyers to evaluate this switched socket with USB charger before volume production. Contact our sales team with your preferred color to arrange sample shipment.
