Key Features & Typical Use
Charging Without Giving Up the Outlet
In a hotel room or even at home where there may be a shortage of plug sockets, a plug-in charger can monopolize one of the available wall outlets during the entire day and thus limiting the possible alternative use of at least one of the two or three sockets. This is exactly what the E10-018 has managed to avoid by placing the charging ports directly into the socket module, so every phone, tablet and other electronic gadget can be charged from the same wall socket and the outlet remains a functional one.
The Standard Tier, Priced for Volume
There are certain electronic gadgets that don’t need fast charge capability, aside from the cost implications of it. Regular charging for smartphones and tablets can be achieved with 5V 2.1A output. Since the design is similar to that of the 20W types, it makes no sense to have more than one design in the market.
No Adapter Left in the Wall
The advantage of practicality in the hospitality field is there are fewer cases of missing adapters and also instances of complaints about sockets that are permanently occupied. As for the specification of hotels, the module eliminates the question of where the guest’s charger should be plugged into – the room has a charging point integrated into the wiring apparatus.
Same Plate, Same Frame
The dimensions of the module are 80mm x 80mm, allowing it to fit into any E10 frame of one to five gangs in either position. Hence, the charging socket can include the blank sockets, switches, or data modules. The contacts of the socket are made of phosphor copper and the plate is made of PC so the socket will conform to the other components of the model.

E10-018 – Standard Charging for Hospitality and Residential Volume
Not all projects will require quick charging, nor will each price be willing to cover it. In cases where sockets are required in larger quantities (like in hotels, student housing, residential projects, and rental flats), the need is for a reliable charging point that is only slightly more expensive than the plain socket. The E10-018 meets all this group’s needs with its 5V 2.1A output in the small-sized (80 x 80 mm) module that is standard in this brand’s series.
The business rationale of a distributor is the common platform that both Version 5V 2.1A and 20W share. The housings, frame interfaces, and socket connectors are all common making it possible to stock both levels from one family and sell them at two different prices. Moreover, the types of plugs can also be varied, e.g. if Schuko was used, then the French version with the same functionality (E10-020) can be offered instead which means that the product can be launched on markets with different plug standards.

Buying Guide
- Confirm the socket format for the destination market — Schuko, French or ungrounded.
- Choose the charging tier: 5V 2.1A for standard charging volume, 20W where fast charging is expected.
- Count the positions and decide which plates need a charging socket rather than a plain socket.
- Plan the frames so charging sockets sit in the rooms that need them rather than across the whole installation.
- Choose the supply format: finished plates, or modules plus frames for local assembly.
- Approve a sample module and confirm quantities and configuration with our team.

Frequently Asked Questions
How fast does the 5V 2.1A output charge a phone?
It provides the usual charging capacity required by most tablets and smartphones, which is nearly equivalent to the charger provided with the device, as per the market. If there is a demand for rapid charging, 20W power is offered in the same casing as E10-019.
What is the difference between E10-018 and E10-019?
Both types of socket are Schuko with USB-A and USB Type-C chargers in the 80 x 80mm sized module. E10-018 is supplying 5V 2.1A standard charge, whereas E10-019 is providing fast charge with the ratings at 20W. Both socket types are using the same case, contacts and frame as two models of the same product range.
Do the USB ports work when the socket is in use?
Indeed. The charging sockets do not depend upon the mains supply socket, hence an appliance can be connected to the Schuko outlet even as charging takes place on the USB outlets.
Are the USB ports Type-A and Type-C, or one or the other?
Both a USB-A port and a Type-C port are provided in the module, allowing for the use of old cables as well as the newer USB-C cables with no need of an accessory. Hence, this combination is the most convenient choice for hotels and rental accommodation since the type of cable used by guests cannot be predicted.
Does it need a deeper wall box because of the electronics?
The charging board is integrated in the module which conforms to EU standard wire mounted devices and makes use of E10 frame to be installed in the wall box. Be sure to check the local dimensions when making a large installation.
Can we specify different socket formats in one order?
Certainly. The collection features the Schuko outlets, French outlets and non-earthed outlets and the outlets that have the USB option come in the Schuko and French versions only. It is usual for suppliers to have mixed item orders when supplying to more than one market, and the minimum order quantity (MOQ) is confirmed for each product in the quotation.
