13A 5 Pin MF Switched Socket – R30 Series Multi-Standard Outlet, 30000-Cycle Phosphor Copper Contacts.
The R30477 socket conforms to British Standard 13A and has five pins as it has switches. Due to its ability to connect with various kinds of plugs, it is greatly utilized in hotels, apartments, and learning institutions, making it a good solution for cases that require both British and European plugs. The socket allows two types of plugs, UK BS1363 and 2 pins European. The R30477 model integrates the socket with SP rocker switch and the neon indicator into a single panel of dimension 86 by 86 mm. The contacts of the socket are constructed from 0.7 mm phosphor copper, a highly elastic material for retention. The device is guaranteed to last for 30,000 cycles which is twice more than conventional sockets. The switch uses red copper for construction, has diameter and thickness of 3.5 mm and 0.35 mm respectively, and uses iron as a middle plate material. The socket comes in four basic colors.
Our business operates as a factory-direct producer offering competitive wholesale prices, OEM branding on any colored PC panel and a 12-year warranty for the whole R30 series.
5 Pin Design — One Socket, Multiple Plug Standards, R30 Aesthetic
This 5 pin MF switched socket resolves a prevalent issue in global settings: users and guests have diverse plug varieties and a normal 3-pin socket works for one style only. The R30477 5-pin configuration accepts both British BS1363 3-pin fused plugs and European 2-pin rounded plugs, covering the vast number of appliances used by visitors from Europe, Commonwealth countries and United Kingdom. This wall plate with a single 86×86 mm dimension solves the power problem for British guests (with 3-pin), European guests (with 2-pin), and everyone else with no adapter – and does so while keeping with the historic R30 series design corresponding to light switches and other sockets of this particular room. The phosphor copper contacts deliver constant grip across all pin configurations for 30000 insertion cycles. It features an integrated rocker with neon indicator providing local power shutoff as demanded by the UK wiring practice. The product complies with IEC 60884.
Phosphor Copper Contacts + 30,000-Cycle Lifespan — Built for Multi-Standard Durability
The significance of contact elasticity in the multi-standard socket is higher than in a single-standard socket as UK and European sockets have different diameters and pin geometries thus causing different mechanical stresses on contact springs. The implementation of 0.7mm high phosphor copper in R30477 socket means that UK pins and European round pins are firmly grasped while in use for 30,000 cycles according to the R30 MF socket specification. The switching mechanism utilized red copper with Φ3.5mm×0.35mm silver alloy contact used in the construction of the neon indicator. The middle plate made from iron provides extra stability to the panel of 86×86mm during the use of the switch and plugin.
