Key Features & Typical Use
Fast Charging without Changing Format
For a French standard project to support fast charging, typically the options would include either a non-standard socket, an adapter, or a plug-in charger that would take up the socket. The EF-021 eliminates the need for a choice between these options with its Type E socket face that contains the earth pin in the body of the socket and a 20W charger circuit in the same unit.
Specified during Renewal, Not After
The economical moment to add fast charging is during the times when the unique aspects of a room’s sockets installation are being arranged and no extra trip or work on a wall is required. Therefore, the module has been aimed instead at renovation works as it becomes something that is included in the replacement decision and not separate improvement action.
Compact Panel for Occupied Housing
Renovation within the French standard housing entails renovation of every room according to the same sequence with all residents present. The 73 mm panels allow the upgrades to happen within the dimensions that were occupied by the previous boxes, so project responsibility does not involve the décor.
The Top of the Compact Socket Line
There are EF compact sockets that consist of plain, protected and charging sockets in both French and German formats with charging of a voltage of 5V 2.1A up to 20 watts. This allows the realization of a specification which is based entirely on the panel format without needing to rely on the availability of the type in question.

EF-021 – The French Fast Charging Socket for Rooms Being Renewed
The charging sockets comply with French standards, albeit not so effectively as they comply with the German ones, thus paving the way for renovation projects of older buildings, which are renovated step by step, so to speak. The EF-021 comes to the rescue with its socket type and an output of 20W while the panel is of regular dimensions and advanced technologies are utilized.
Distributors see the worth of numerous products, instead of one product. The collection is made to fit all sockets available in France or Germany, along with various charging stations to meet consumers’ demands in a certain area without having to install a separate plate or work with a different supplier. The sockets have phosphor copper connections and the same frame as other sockets from the EF series.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does a 20W French charging socket exist?
Indeed, the EF-021 incorporates this feature. Fast charge socket modules are widely available only in the German socket type, and no similar module exists for projects designed for the French standard; this module retains the Type E socket and incorporates both USB A and USB C output at 20 W.
Can it replace an existing French socket without other work?
Certainly. The module utilizes the same socket and circuit as the outlet it is replacing while the Type E earth configuration remains the same hence the socket’s plug remains constant too. There is no need for any new wiring.
Where is the 20W tier worth specifying?
The rooms where charging is often needed and performed effectively are the bedrooms and guest rooms. The 5V 2.1A version, EF-020, is used to fulfill most primary and secondary usage.
Why is the panel format relevant to this product?
Charging sockets are fitted in the course of renovation, when the finishing has already been done. A panel height of 73mm ensures that the new plate will remain within the space occupied by the original outlet which means no extra work is required in these places.
Is the German format version available at the same rating?
That’s right – EF-019 offers Schuko socket with a 20W charge capability on the same compact board. The two models share the same housing, an identical frame system and the same contact quality, therefore a distributor can have a single product line for two markets.
Can branded modules be mixed with other EF devices?
Indeed, OEM branding involves printing the plates, creating carton and instruction sheets as well as shipping EF switches, sockets, and data modules together on a regular basis. Minimum order quantity (MOQ) is determined for each item based on the quote provided.
