Electrical Sockets & Switches — Stainless Steel US Switched Socket Combo
The combination of the silver electrical sockets and switches is a high-quality product that features a stainless steel wall plate and provides a durable finish that will last for years. The United States standard switch has a combination of a 2P+E 15A American 3-pin outlet and a 1 gang rocker switch and it is contained within the 75×120 mm panel. The stainless steel faceplate provides a heavy-duty industrial appearance perfect for kitchens, workshops, or commercial applications. The switch comes in both 1 gang (single pole) for single location operation and 2 gang (3-way) for two-location operation.
We are a direct manufacturer offering affordable wholesale prices, along with OEM branding on stainless steel plates and a 12-year warranty for the A20 series range.
Single or Duplex Socket – Switched Control Models
| Model | Switch Type | Socket | Application |
|---|---|---|---|
| A20-029 | 1 Gang 1 Way (Single Pole) | US 2P+E, 15A | Single socket controlled from one location — standard rooms. |
| A20-030 | 1 Gang 2 Way (3-Way) | US 2P+E, 15A | Single socket controlled from two locations — larger rooms. |
| A20-059/060 | 1 Way or 2 Way | US Duplex 2P+E, 15A | Two sockets from one panel — kitchens, offices, workshops. |
The rocker switch on this switched socket allows complete isolation of the outlet. You can press the switch to turn off the outlet’s power without removing the plug or leave it on for constant power. The 15A socket rating is compatible with standard domestic and light commercial appliances. Both the switch and socket share the same red copper/silver alloy contact mechanism for consistent long-lasting performance.
Stainless Steel Front Panel – Robust and Elegant
This stainless steel wall switch with an integrated socket features a genuine stainless steel front panel, not a plastic imitation, providing excellent resistance to scratches and corrosion. Its clean metallic appearance fits seamlessly into modern kitchens, commercial spaces, and workshops. The panel integrates into standard US wall boxes of 75×120 mm dimensions. Options for a middle plate in iron, plastic, or a combination of both allow for tailored durability and price. Available in an elegant Gray finish.

Choosing the Right Stainless Steel Switched Socket Configuration
A practical guide covering model selection, middle plate options, and wiring for the A20 series.
Which Model Fits Your Project – Single, Duplex, 1-Way, or 2-Way?
The single switched outlet configuration A20-029 (one switch for one outlet) will be the most common; you have one switch that gives you control over one outlet located at one point. The two-way switched outlet configuration A20-030 (two switches controlling one outlet from two points) is a practical variation. If you need to supply power to multiple devices in a single location, you would use either of the duplex switched outlet models (A20-059/A20-060). Duplex switched outlets give you two standard 120V outlets, allowing you to supply power to two devices simultaneously in the same location, such as kitchen counters, home desks, or workshops.
Why Switch to Stainless Steel Over Plastic?
Stainless steel is the material of choice for switched outlets for many industries, including commercial kitchens, workshops, laboratories, and high-end residential spaces. Stainless steel brushed tops resist scratches and moisture corrosion unlike plastic models, and they are easier to keep clean and maintain.
How to Wire a Switched Outlet in the US?
When wiring in a US switched outlet configuration, connect the live supply to the common terminal on the switch and the switched supply from the common terminal of the switch to the switch (L1) side of the outlet. The switched outlet must have three connections: live (C), neutral (N), and earth (E). For two-way switches, traveler wires connect from L1/L2 between switches. The switched outlet installs in a standard US wall box of 75×120mm.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which brand is best for switches and sockets?
The best brand for electrical sockets & switches depends on your project requirements. Major retail brands like Leviton, Legrand, and Schneider offer wide availability. For B2B buyers and wholesalers, factory-direct manufacturers provide equivalent or better build quality — red copper internals, silver contacts, IEC certification — at a significantly lower per‑unit cost by cutting out the retail distribution markup. The A20 series stainless steel switched socket delivers commercial‑grade durability at wholesale pricing.
Are sockets and switches the same thing?
No, sockets and switches serve different functions. A socket (or outlet) provides a connection point for appliances to draw power from the mains. A switch controls the flow of electricity to a circuit — it makes or breaks the live conductor. The A20-029/030 combines both: a rocker switch that controls the connected US socket directly, giving you local power isolation without unplugging the appliance.
Do I need a 15A or 20A switch?
The choice depends on the circuit load your appliance draws. A 15A switch is suitable for most standard domestic appliances up to approximately 3,500W — TVs, lamps, chargers, and small kitchen equipment. A 20A switch is needed for higher‑draw fixed appliances like water heaters and air conditioning units. The A20-029/030 uses a 10A/16A switch paired with a 15A socket, which is the correct specification for standard US outlet circuits. If your project requires a dedicated 20A or 45A double pole switch for fixed appliance isolation, our R30 series includes those options.
What’s the difference between sockets and outlets?
In electrical terms, sockets and outlets refer to the same thing — a wall‑mounted connection point where appliances plug into the mains. “Socket” is the standard term in UK and Commonwealth English, while “outlet” is primarily used in North America. The A20-029/030 is a US standard switched socket (or switched outlet) with a 2P+E 3‑pin configuration, rated at 15A/250V.
