13A DP Switched Socket with USB-C & USB-A — R30 Series 2.1A USB Wall Socket, 30,000-Cycle Lifespan
The R30491C combines USB-A and Type-C charging ports into a UK standard 13A DP switched socket and fits into a wall plate that takes the standard dimension of 86 x 86 mm, R30 series. This USB wall socket offers three advantages as compared to a regular switched socket: DP (Double Pole) switching gives it safety features as the device disconnects the live and neutral wires; it has the dual USB charging capability of 2.1A allowing using the 13A socket for your electrical appliances, and a lifespan of 30,000 cycles which is twice as much as that of the average 15,000. The USB module functions independently from the socket mechanism, meaning it is able to charge when the switched socket is switched off. It is made of 0.7mm pure high-grade 62 brass contacts, red copper DP switching mechanism, and a durable iron plate. Certified in accordance with IEC 60884, BS1363, and IEC 62680 testing standards for 12-year warranty.
As a manufacturer, we provide OEM brand colors for PC panels as well as secure wholesale rates. Our products in the R30 series are covered by a warranty period of 12 years.
30,000-Cycle Lifespan — Double the Standard Socket Endurance
The innovative DP switched socket featuring USB-C technology boasts a remarkable lifespan rated at an impressive 30,000 cycles, which is double that of the conventional switched sockets rated at 15,000 cycles. With the help of 0.7mm thick 62 high-purity brass contacts designed with an integrated copper structure, the socket contacts ensure reliable pin retention during use. Notably, in settings like hotel rooms where guests make frequent use of chargers or in kitchens where electronic devices are repeatedly connected and disconnected, the DP socket proves to have a longer lifespan than its renovation cycles. The DP switched socket incorporates the red copper switch with Φ3.5mm×0.35mm silver alloy point, which acts as a controlling member of the switching. While the iron middle plate contributes to a strong structure of the outlet behind the 86×86mm panel. The outlet confirms its high quality through IEC 60884 and BS1363 tests while the USB charging component follows IEC 62680 standard.
USB-A + Type-C, 2.1A Output — Charge Two Devices Without Losing Your Power Outlet
This dual USB switched socket has a built-in USB module that is a complete unit with over-current, over-voltage, and short circuit safety features. The USB-A receptacle is compatible with both older devices and conventional charging wires, while the Type-C outlet supports recent smart phones, tablets and appliances. The dual output of 2.1A makes it possible to charge two devices simultaneously and that too at normal charging speed — making it perfect for bedside tables, kitchen tops, and desk setups where multiple gadgets need charging at the same time while occupying just one outlet too. The USB ports still function separately from the DP socket switch, which means charging of the devices continues even when the socket is turned off.
Matching the R30 Series — DP USB Socket Within the Same Classic Aesthetic
This white USB socket in PC has been included in the R30 series, containing the same standard dimensions of square 86×86mm, as well as having the same kind of high-transparency PC panel material used in all other R30 electrical accessories. The panel consists of an iron center plate that makes the panel sturdy. The colors available for the panel are white, gold, gray, and black. The USB socket is manufactured by the company that is certified and has been running its operations for the past 12 years.

Choosing the Right USB Switched Socket: DP vs SP, 30,000-Cycle vs Standard, Colors & Installation
A practical guide to specifying USB charging wall sockets for residential, hotel, and commercial installations.
R30491C (DP + USB, 30K Cycles) vs Standard SP Socket — Which One for Your Project?
Where there is a need for USB charging, improved electrical safety, and longer mechanical lifespan, the choice of R30491C is the best. The DP switch helps keep both live and neutral completely separated, thus making it apt for bathrooms, kitchens, etc., where the use of appliances requires complete disconnection mode while using the sockets. The USB-A + Type-C ports, boasting of 2.1A output capability allow people to charge their phones and tablets directly without using adapters. The lifespan of 30,000 cycles is double the standard rating of 15,000 cycles resulting in less frequent replacements over the life of the building. In hotels, the R30491C USB sockets can be installed on bedside tables for guest charging.
30,000 Cycles — Why the Extended Lifespan Matters
The switched socket in a typical busy kitchen may be replaced within a decade owing to its standard functioning capacity for 15,000 cycles. The R30491C socket with its USB connection has a lifecycle of 30,000 cycles, thus minimizing costs of replacement and maintenance and operational disturbance in the hospitality field. The brass contacts used are 0.7mm thick and include a special copper structure that ensures proper pins’ retention during all insertions.
Installation & Wiring
The R30491C is designed for installation in an 86×86mm back box standard in the UK. The wiring process is performed as follows: live wire is connected to the common terminal of the DP switch, L1 serves as a switched live for the socket, and neutral wire is connected to both the DP switch neutral terminal and the socket neutral terminal. As it is an independent USB module requiring a neutral connection to function, R30491C can charge even with the 13A socket turned off. It is certified according to IEC 60884, BS1363, and IEC 62680 standards.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does the USB still charge when the socket switch is off?
It is indeed true that both the USB-A and Type-C sockets on the R30491C work separately from the DP socket switch. The USB module draws power directly from the mains and continues charging devices even when the 13A socket is switched on. The neon indicator shows only the socket state and doesn’t indicate whether the USB sockets have power – USB power is always present as long as the circuit is live at the consumer unit.
What is the difference between DP and SP on a switched socket?
A Single Pole (SP) switch disconnects only the live wire when it is switched off, while a Double Pole (DP) switch simultaneously disconnects both the live and neutral wires, thereby allowing for complete isolation. The R30491C is a DP socket switch with USB and is therefore suitable for use in kitchens, bathrooms, or any other types of installation using devices that require effective disconnection of the appliance.
How long does a 30,000-cycle socket last compared to a standard one?
In a busy hotel room or kitchen, a conventional switched socket with 15,000 cycles can reach its rated lifespan between 8 to 10 years. The R30491C socket, with a lifespan of 30,000 cycles, has a lifespan of 16 to 20 years under the same conditions. The 0.7mm 62-brass socket contacts are designed for this longer lifespan.
What colors is this British standard USB switched socket available in?
The DP USB switched socket of the R30 series comes in four variants of PC panel colors: White (conventional look for homes and hotels), Gold (rich look suitable for luxury interiors), Gray (neutral look for modern homes and offices), and Black (stark contrast for dark interiors and luxury environments). All four variants are made from the same high-translucent and high-strength PC and have a warranty of 12 years from our factory.
