USB-C Socket vs Standard Switched Socket — Charging Built Into the Wall

Baby Skin Printing Surface — The Signature DN71 Tactile Experience

Baby Skin Printing USB-C wall socket that is compliant with British Standard 13A Switched Socket

The DN71489C is a British standard 13A switched socket with USB Type-C that integrates a Type-C charging port directly into the wall plate alongside a full BS 3‑pin power outlet. This socket with USB Type C eliminates the need for plug‑in USB adapters that occupy the very socket they draw power from — charge a phone or tablet via the built‑in USB-C port while the 13A outlet remains completely free for lamps, kettles, and appliances. The USB module operates independently from the socket switch, so charging continues even when the 13A outlet is switched off. The socket contacts use 0.6mm phosphor copper with a fix circle ring for reliable pin retention, while the switch mechanism uses red copper and Φ3.0×25mm silver alloy contacts. Available in three premium panel materials — PC, tempered glass, and brushed aluminum — all with the signature DN71 baby skin printing finish. IEC certified with a 12‑year warranty.

We are a factory-direct manufacturer offering competitive wholesale pricing, OEM branding on any panel material, and a 12‑year warranty across the DN71 series range.

Type-C USB Charging Built In — No Adapter, No Clutter, No Lost Power Outlet

This USB-C wall socket resolves one of the major issues for users, which is that while using a power outlet for one kind of appliance charging (or simply using), a smartphone is connected to a power outlet and needs charging as well. Using this Type-C USB port, you can charge modern smartphones, tablets, and USB-C accessories without using an adapter, wasting power outlets, or relying on a bulky power adapter that can be easily damaged. The USB module is a compact unit with overcurrent, high voltage, and short circuit protection incorporated in it. Moreover, it operates independently from the 13 A switch. You may switch off the power socket and thus stop the kettle or light process while the Type C charging continues. The surface is made of baby skin material, so it manages to stay clean from fingerprints and other marks regardless of constant cable plugging and unplugging. The middle plate made from stainless steel or steel tube is equipped with front and back covers. IEC certified for British standard countries.
