SP or DP Switch — The Same UK Socket, Two Safety Levels
The switched socket available in the UK comes with a couple of switch configurations that fit various installation conditions. The SP (Single Pole) version breaks only the live conductor, representing the typical UK socket configuration for living rooms, bedrooms, corridors, and general purpose sockets. The DP (Double Pole) version breaks the live and neutral wires at the same time. This specification is appropriate for kitchens, bathrooms, utility rooms, and situations where users require higher safety levels when using sockets near water sources or stationary appliances. Whichever version one chooses, the same bar panel sized 88×86mm, the same mechanism with red copper and silver contacts, and the same neon indicator light showing that the socket is on will be found. The use of phosphor copper 0.6mm socket contacts with fixing circle assures that the plugs will remain in place.
Matching the DN72 Series — UK BS Socket in PC, Glass, or Aluminum
This socket made from glass and aluminum belongs to the DN72 series of products, which are characterized by the same dimensions of 88x86mm and the same three premium finishes which are also present in the series of DN72 wall switches, the 20A double pole switches, 45A double pole switches and sockets with USB chargers.

SP vs DP UK Switched Socket: Choosing the Right Safety Level for Every Room
A practical guide to selecting between single pole and double pole British standard switched sockets for residential and commercial installations.
SP vs DP — Which Switch Type for Which Room?
SP (Single Pole) UK sockets are the basic design of sockets for living rooms, bedrooms, hallways, and general usage sockets. The switch will turn off the live wire, while the neon indicator will show that the socket is powered. DP (Double Pole) UK sockets will switch live and neutral at the same time. This is right standard for kitchens, bathrooms, laundry, and any place that requires increased electrical safety near water. DN72 series includes SP and DP sockets available in all three panel materials and in colors, making it possible to achieve the desired safety level while keeping consistent design.
Panel Material Selection — PC, Glass, or Aluminum?
PC panel: Affordable and long-lasting; the most commonly used option in both home and commercial applications. Mounted glass panel: High-quality mirror-like surface made of glass that prevents fingerprints — the top choice for exclusive installations in residential homes and high-end hotels. Brushed aluminum panel: Stylish metallic look along with scratch resistance making it an ideal option for modern commercial design. There are three panels available in the same dimensions of 88×86mm, red copper and silver contact type, as well as a 12-year warranty.
Installation & Wiring
The DN72405/DN72409/DN72407/DN72411 is compatible with a conventional 86 mm British back box. Wiring is according to the standards of BS1363: live and neutral wires are connected to the switch terminals (single pole switches interrupt only the live current; double pole switches interrupt live and neutral currents), while the switched live and neutral wires go to the socket terminals along with the earth wire connected to the earth terminal of the socket. Furthermore, the neon indicator is wired internally requiring no additional connections. The socket contact is made of 0.6 mm phosphor bronze and is compatible with all BS1363 standard 3-pn plugs provided that they include built-in safety shutters.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a UK switched socket?
UK switched outlet refers to the standard BS1363 wall socket used in Great Britain which comes with a rocker switch as a part of the design. The DN72405/DN72409/DN72407/DN72411 is the British standard 13A UK switched outlet, which is a 3-pin power outlet used in a number of countries including the UK, Ireland, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, GCC, and Malaysia. The built-in rocker switch helps to isolate the circuit, and the activation of the neon light shows that the socket is powered.
What is the difference between SP and DP on a UK socket?
SP (Single Pole) closes the power line only when the switch is off. This is the usual approach used in living rooms and bedrooms. DP (Double Pole) shuts off both the power line and neutral wire. This is the suggested type of socket for kitchens and bathrooms as well as places requiring increased electrical safety. The DN72 series includes both Single pole and Double Pole types of the UK socket in all panel materials available in four different colors.
Is this socket compliant with British standards?
Indeed, the DN72405/DN72409/DN72407/DN72411 compliant with BS1363 is rated as safe in the UK, because its live and neutral holes are fitted with shutters. The socket allows for the use of BS1363 3-pin fused plugs and is also certified for use in British Standard countries, being able to be applied in standard British 86mm backboxes across the United Kingdom, GCC, and Malaysia.
What panel materials is this UK plug socket available in?
The British standard switched socket is offered in three premium facings: PC (high strength polycarbonate that is cheap for mass production), glass (glossy and fingerprint proof and suitable for luxury interiors), and brushed aluminum (with metal finish that is resistant to scratches and has industrial look). All three of these options come with a slim design of 88×86mm and 12 years of warranty.
