Baby Skin Printing Dual Purpose Nigeria Africa Congo Socket with 3 Pin Switched Socket with Neon

The DN71408M is a 3-pin switched socket that contains two mutually independent multi-standard power outlets, which fit in one 88mm x 146mm wall outlet. This socket can be used in countries like Nigeria, Africa, and Congo, and is primarily meant for the West and Central African markets where electrical installations often consist of different types of power plugs, namely the UK BS 3-pin plug and the European round-pin plug, as well as other regional plug forms. The socket has two MF power outlet sockets, which can be used without any required equipment because of its compatibility with a variety of plug forms. The unit consists of two independent MF sockets that can be operated from each socket separately, each controlled with a rocker switch with a neon indicator. The contacts of the sockets consist of a material of phosphor copper of around 0.6mm thickness with the presence of a fixed circular ring that guarantees the aligning of the socket pins in place. It is offered in three prime panel materials, including PC, tempered glass, and brushed aluminum, all finished with the distinctive DN71 baby skin printing finish.

Being a factory-based manufacturer, we provide clients with attractive wholesale prices, brand OEM on different panel materials, and a warranty for 12 years for the DN71 series line.

Two Independent Universal Outlets — Designed for Africa’s Mixed Plug Environments

The dual universal socket has been developed specifically for the reality of electrical installations in Nigeria, Africa and Congo, where a single building could have appliances utilizing UK rectangle pins, European round pins and other regional plug patterns at the same time. This means that the MF 3-pin aperture of each of the sockets can accept UK BS 3-pin plugs, European round pin plugs (Type C, E, F) as well as many different regional plug types in Africa, so at least two appliances with different types of plugs can be used simultaneously from the same wall plate. Each of the sockets has its own SP rocker switch and a neon light indicator, which gives the users local isolation which they require as per the electrical standards indicative of British influence. The 0.6 mm phosphor copper contacts ensure that there will be the same force when gripping the pins irrespective of the plug shape. The middle plate made out of steel or plastic-coated steel has a width of 146 mm, thus preventing flex when the plug is being inserted or taken out.

The socket boasts superior and premium quality material, multiple finishes in color, and baby skin printing technology, identical to that found in various products under DN71 series like DN71 single MF socket, double UK socket, USB-C socket, light switch, and DP isolator.
