BS 13A UK Switch Socket with USB Type-C, also known as BS USB-C Charger Socket with panel made of PC, glass, or aluminum.
The DN72489C is a British standard 13A UK switched socket with USB Type-C that eliminates the need for plug‑in USB adapters by building a Type‑C charging port directly into the wall plate. This socket with USB Type C keeps the 13A BS1363 power outlet completely free for appliances while charging modern phones, tablets, and accessories via the integrated USB‑C port. The SP rocker switch with neon indicator provides local power isolation for the 13A socket, while the USB module operates independently — charging continues even when the socket is switched off. Available in three premium panel materials — PC for volume builds, tempered glass for luxury interiors, or brushed aluminum for a metallic industrial aesthetic. The red copper switch mechanism with Φ3.0×25mm silver alloy touch point handles daily switching, while the 0.6mm phosphor copper socket contacts maintain consistent pin retention. Two middle plate options — steel or plastic‑wrapped steel. IEC certified for British standard countries with a 12‑year warranty. Container‑level supply with 20GP MOQ.
We are a factory-direct UK USB-C socket manufacturer offering competitive wholesale pricing, OEM branding on any panel material, and a 12‑year warranty across the DN72 series range.
Type-C USB Charging that’s Integrated – Charge Modern Devices Without Compromising Your Power Outlet
The UK USB-C socket has been designed with a Type-C charging port built right into the wall plate with dimensions 88 x 86 mm, thus giving it the same compact profile as a standard single socket. This USB module is a well-contained system. It is equipped with over-current and short-circuit protection, and runs independently from the switch for the 13A socket. So, while you charge your phone or tablet through the Type-C port, the BS1363 outlet will remain free for other appliances. The SP rocker switch with neon indicator controls the 13A socket — while the USB port can continue charging regardless of the position of the switch as long as the circuit remains live at the consumer unit. 0.6 mm phosphor copper socket contacts with fix circle ring ensure reliable retention of any standard BS1363 3-pin fused plug and this device is IEC certified, which allows people to use it in countries following British Standards.
Compatible with the DN72 Series — UK USB-C Charger Socket in PC, Glass or Aluminum
This PC glass aluminum USB socket belongs to the DN72 series, which means that it has identical dimensions 88 x 86 mm and can be used alongside other devices in the series, such as DN72 switches, standard sockets, DP isolators, and various accessories. The DN72489C USB-C socket can be combined with DN72405 standard sockets and DN72 switches in a room, and all of them have the same panel design and color.

USB-C Socket vs Standard Socket: When to Upgrade to Built‑In USB Charging
A practical guide to specifying UK switched sockets with integrated USB Type‑C for residential, hotel, and commercial installations.
DN72489C (USB-C) vs DN72405 (No USB) — What Socket to Use Where?
The DN72489C with USB Type-C port is the proper specification for any room that regularly charges their devices. On bedside tables: We can charge your phone overnight with USB-C while 13A sockets can power lamps. In kitchens: We can charge our tablets while using the socket to power kettles or toasters. On office desks: You can charge the phone through the USB-C while the computer can draw power from an outlet. In hotels: Customers can plug their devices in a familiar BS1363 and charge them using convenient USB-C charger without the need of an adapter. DN72405 standard socket should be used in the places where we only require sockets and USB charge is supplied elsewhere.
Does the USB-C Work when the Switch is Off?
Yes, the USB-C Type on the DN72489C functions independently from the switch of SP socket. The USB module gets powered from the mains and will charge your devices no matter if your 13A outlet is off or not. The neon does not show anything except the status of the socket which has nothing to do with USB charge which is always available as soon as the circuit in the consumer unit is live. This is intended design. So, you can turn off the power outlet for safety reasons and keep the USB port active for charging overnight.
What Panel Material to Choose – PC, Glass, or Aluminum?
PC panel: It is cost-effective and durable therefore it is the choice for residential and hotel projects. Tempered glass panel: it is luxurious and has fingerprint resistance, hence making it make it high-end choice for residential and boutique hotel projects. Brushed aluminum panel: it is metallic in look and comes with a stain-resistant quality which makes it most suitable for modern designs. All three of them have the same dimensions of 88×86mm, USB-C charger, and warranty duration of 12 years.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a socket with USB Type-C?
A socket powered by USB Type-C is a type of electrical outlet in which there is a built-in USB Type-C port. The DN72489C classifies as a UK 13A standard switched socket complete with USB Type-C. This socket consists of one 3-pin BS1363 socket and a SP rocker switch complete with a neon indicator. It is small and compact at only 88×86mm in size with its Type-C socket charging your modern phone and tablet via USB Type-C, without using a separate adapter or consuming the 13A socket.
Does the USB-C port work when the switch is off?
Indeed, the USB Type-C port of the DN72489C can work silently and independently from the switch of the SP socket. Even if the socket is turned off, once current flows through the consumer unit of the DN72489C, the USB port will still be charging devices. However, the neon marker is for the socket’s status only, as it does not display the availability of power through USB, which is always there so long as the mains are on.
Is this socket compliant with British standards?
Indeed, the DN72489C complies with BS1363 standards and features built-in safety shutters that cover the live and neutral terminals while allowing compatibility with BS1363 type 3-pin fused plugs. Furthermore, it fulfills all requirements for IEC certification in accordance with British standards and fits the UK standard British 86mm back boxes which are used in the UK, as well as in countries like Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, GCC, and Malaysia.
What panel materials is this UK USB-C socket available in?
The DN72489C comes in three upscale panel finishes of PC (cost-effective for mass production), tempered glass (shiny, resistant to fingerprints, perfect for high-end designs), and brushed aluminum (having a metallic industrial appearance, highly durable against scratches, best for modern commercial spaces). All three types of finish have the same dimensions of 88×86mm, a USB-C charging module, and a warranty of 12 years.
