British Standard 13A 2 Gang MF Switched Socket with Neon — Double Phosphor Copper Wall Socket
The R12408M is an electrical standard 13A 2 gang MF switched socket with neon and two separate MF universal power outlets utilizing phosphor copper contacts. This phosphor copper double socket is the correct specification used in high volume applications where both universal plug fitment as well as resistance. Each of the two MF outlets has its own SP rocker switch with neon indicator — the kettle can be switched off while the toaster remains on, or both can be switched off altogether. The MF configuration allows for both UK BS1363 and European 2 pin plugs to be plugged into the same socket making it a good choice for hotels, international offices and homes with multi-standard plug uses, such as kitchens. Both sockets are made of 0.7mm high phosphor copper contacts that ensure elasticity and durability in the long run in all cases. Red copper is used in the switch and silver-coated terminals for all sockets in the same RT configuration. Options for the cover – one of two options (full plastic, steel-plastic combination). There are also four available colors for the high-quality manufacturing of the surface, black, grey, white and golden. The product is under IEC 60884 standard, and the warranty is provided for 12 years.
As a manufacturer that sells straight from the factory, we provide wholesale prices that can’t be beaten, feature OEM branding on any color PC panel, and offer a 12-year warranty on all the products from the R12 series.
Two Independent MF Outlets — Each with Its Own Switch, Neon, and Phosphor Copper Contacts
The double MF wall socket contains two independent MF three-pin sockets. Each socket has a switch and a neon indicator that works separately from each other. A kettle can be switched off on one socket, while the phone charger connected to the other socket is still operational. The sockets utilize the same contacts made from 0.7 mm phosphor copper and the durability of the contact material allows normal functioning of both sockets for up to 15,000 switch cycles. The switch consists of red copper parts where touch points are made from a silver alloy of a specific size to ensure trouble-free switching. The cover can be either made from steel or covered with plastic, but in any case, it provides connections reliability and stability for all years of operation. The product complies with IEC 60884 and is under warranty for 12 years.

Choosing the Right 2 Gang MF Socket: R12408M vs R12407M vs R12492C — Double MF, Single MF, or Double BS USB?
A practical guide to selecting the correct R12 series double gang socket for hotels, mixed‑standard residential, and commercial installations.
R12408M (2 Gang MF) vs R12407M (1 Gang MF) — Double or Single Universal Power?
The R12408M is a two-outlet MF socket that gives users two independent MF universal sockets on one 146mm panel. It is suitable for use between beds in a hotel bedroom or on kitchen counters and office desks where two appliances are used from the same wall position. The R12407M, on the other hand, provides an MF socket on an 86mm panel for single-appliance applications. Both sockets employ the same SP switches and 0.7mm phosphor copper contacts at their terminals.
R12408M (2 Gang MF, No USB) and R12492C (2 Gang BS USB 20W) — Choosing between universal phosphor copper or standard BS with quick charging?
R12408M is all about MF universal plug compatibility with phosphor copper durability — the ideal solution for international hotels and multiple standard places where the variety of plug types and durability takes precedence over USB charging. R12492C is focused on DP safety isolation and 20W quick USB charging with standard BS1363 sockets — perfect for any UK kitchen and utility room. Order both to complete the full double gang range.
Installation
R12408M is designed to fit a standard British double gang back box with the dimensions of 86 by 146 mm. Standard SP wiring for each gang involves connecting live wire to the switch common terminal, switched live from L1 into the socket live input, and direct connection of the neutral and earth wires to the socket; however, the neon indicators are wired internally. The phosphor copper contacts in the socket allow for connecting plugs that comply with BS1363 and European 2-pin specifications.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a 2 gang MF switched socket?
The MF switched socket that is referred to as a 2 gang MF socket features 2 independent MF (Multi-Function) power outlets with three pins each built into a single wall plate measuring 146 mm, with each of these sockets featuring their individual SP rocker switch and neon light indicator. The socket R12408M is the British standard MF switched 2 gang socket with both its sockets accommodating UK BS1363 and European 2 pin plug. It replaces the two single MF sockets with one clean double gang installation.
Do both outlets have phosphor copper contacts?
Certainly, both of the MF ports on the R12408M model utilize a 0.7mm high phosphor copper contact accompanied by constructed copper. Thus, one port does not offer inferior technology than the other one — both ports are made with the same level of contact materials. Each of the ports has its unique red copper switching mechanism that operates a Φ3.5mm × 0.35mm silver alloy contact and a distinct neon indicator.
Can each socket be switched independently?
Indeed, on R12408M each of the two MF outlets has its SP rocker switch as well as a neon indicator. You can turn off the kettle at socket one without affecting the toaster at socket two, with each socket working independently via the same 146mm panel. The wiring for the switches and neon indicators is quite distinct.
What colors is this British standard 2 gang MF phosphor copper socket available in?
The phosphor copper contact R12 2 gang MF switch socket is available in four colors of PC panels: White (traditional for hotels and homes), Gold (a luxury finishing for premium interiors), Gray (a neutral contemporary appearance for modern apartments and offices) and Black (a strong contrast for dark interiors and luxury commercial products). All four types of PC panels are made of the same imported and high-strenght high-transparent PC material as the ones mentioned before and are covered by a 12-year warranty.
