British Standard 13A 2 Gang DP Switched Socket with USB-C 20W — Double USB Wall Socket
The R12492C is a British standard 13A switch that has a socket that has independent BS1363 power sockets. It has combined USB-A and Type-C charging module, which makes it quick and be energy efficient. This double USB wall socket has been developed with the British Standard installation process. Each of the two 13A sockets has a DP switch inside and a neon indicator. In this case, the use of this model provides greater safety and isolation, as live and neutral both are cut off at once. Specifically, the two USB sockets are much faster than a typical USB socket either, which is 20W. The USB sockets operation does not depend on the operation of the 13A sockets. The 13A sockets have the following technology: 0.7mm high-purity 62 brass socket contacts, red copper DP switch with Φ3.5mm×0.35mm silver alloy touch points inside. The middle plate can be either plastic or steel-plastic. The plate can be found in four colors, which are white, gold, gray, and black. The plug has been certified by three different organizations, which are IEC 60884, BS1363, and IEC 62680 and has been provided with a warranty of 12 years.
We provide low-cost products directly from the source manufacturer with OEM branding on any of the colors of our PC panel. Additionally, we offer a 12-year warranty covering all devices from the R12 range.
20W USB-A + Type-C — Fast Charge Without Losing a Power Outlet
The 2 gang DP switched socket with USB-C 20W eliminates the problem of charging in any kitchen and living room: a multitude of devices needs charging, but the USB adapters are occupying the sockets. The unique feature of the R12492C is that it has a 20W USB module built into the wall plate – the USB port will work with the traditional devices, and the Type-C port provides quick charging of technology like smartphones and tablets. The 20W output is able to charge the compatible iPhone from 0 to 50% in just 30 minutes, which is much more efficient than the common 2.1A USB sockets. Thus, 13A BS1363 sockets can be used for other kitchen appliances, such as toasters and kettles. The USB module works autonomously and uses its power protection circuits. Each socket is connected to one of the DP switches that allow for better safety isolation. Three types of certification: IEC 60884, BS1363, IEC 62680.

Choosing the Right 2 Gang DP USB Socket: 20W vs Standard USB, DP vs SP, Installation Tips
A practical guide to specifying double USB switched sockets for British standard residential and commercial installations.
20W Fast Charging vs Standard 2.1A USB — Which One for Your Project?
The R12492C 20W dual USB outlet provides a much quicker charge compared to regular 2.1A USB outlets. It can charge compatible iPhones from 0 to 50% in around 30 minutes. Ideal for use in kitchens, hotel receptions, office workstations, and anywhere that requires a quick battery charge. Regular 2.1A USB outlets can be used in bedrooms and places where fast charging is not important or needed.
Why DP (Double Pole) on a 2 Gang Socket?
It uses DP switches on both outlets, which means that each rocker switch disconnects both the live wire and neutral wire at the same time, which is ideal for use in kitchens, bathrooms, and utility areas, as well as in any place where appliances might come in contact with water. The additional cost of having DP switches in contrast to SP switches is negligible relative to the additional safety value.
Installation
You can install the R12492C in a standard double gang box of the British specification: 86×146mm. Connections are as follows: live to common of both DP switches, L1 to the live input of both sockets, and neutral to the neutral of both DP switches. The USB module has a neutral connection so that it will function independently and will be charging even if both sockets are turned off. The two neon signals indicate the status of the sockets.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a 2 gang DP switched socket with USB-C 20W?
A 2 gang double pole switched socket with USB-C 20W includes two separate 13A BS1363 sockets with the common DP (Double Pole) rocker switch and neon indicator: the socket also incorporates USB-A and type C. The R12492C can accommodate two devices at the same time. The specifications of the socket show it conforms to the British Standards .
Does the 20W USB-C support fast charging?
The R12492C has 20W total power through its USB-A and Type-C ports, allowing for fast charging of iPhones, Samsung Galaxy phones, and other USB-PD compatible phones. With 20W power, iPhones can be charged from 0 to 50% in around 30 minutes, which is very quick as compared to the 2.1A (10.5W) USB ports. USB module has the independent certification according to IEC 62680.
Does the USB fast charge when both socket switches are off?
Yes, the USB-A and Type-C ports available in the R12492C are working independently of both DP socket switches. The USB module is directly powered from mains and continues to charge devices swiftly even when both the 13A units are turned off. The two neon indicators give information only about the socket status, and do not signal the power of the USB, which is available whenever the circuit is live.
What panel materials are available for this 2 gang USB socket?
The R12492C 2 gang DP switched socket comes in four imported colors of high-transparency PC panel: White (vintage residential and commercial), Gold (premium finish for prestigious interiors), Gray (neutral modern design for contemporary apartments and offices), and Black (elegant contrast against dark interiors and premium commercial fit-outs).
