R30407 1 Gang 13A Switch and Outlet Combo – The Practical Combination Switch and Receptacle
The R30407 is a verified combination switch and receptacle in a cost-effective package. It is a 1 gang 13A combination switch and outlet that includes a single-pole rocker switch, neon indicator, and a 3-pin socket outlet in an 86×86mm R30 format.
This combination switch can be used in homes and by tradespeople because it has both international and UK certifications (IEC 60884 & BS1363) and uses brass socket contacts to deliver reliable performance on a daily basis.
Dual Standard Certification — IEC 60884 & BS1363: The dual standard certification offers simplicity for mixed jurisdiction specifications and removes one requirement for your wholesale customers when importing.
Neon Indicator & Single-Pole Switch in One Gang: The neon indicator lights up when power is going to the switched socket. The rocker switch operates the power to the socket and is an SP disconnect on the socket itself. This means you have a true combination switch and receptacle without requiring a wider faceplate or additional wiring.
Brass Socket Contacts — Reliable Material, Reliable Operation
The combination switch and receptacle design treats the switch and socket as separate engineering tasks. The switch side uses the proven red copper bus bar and silver alloy contact points. For the socket side, brass with a purity of 62 is employed due to its durability and copper content, which guarantees good electrical conductivity. The two metals form the connectors between the plug and socket, resulting in a strong connection and excellent thermal conduction. This design is rated for 15,000 cycles of connection and disconnection of power at the outlet and/or switch.
The front panel and base of the product are made of high-quality acrylic plastic material imported from Europe. To ensure that the unit remains flat against the wall and does not warp, an iron middle plate is used to maintain rigidity between the front and base panels.

Guidance for contractors, developers, and distributors exploring bulk solutions for combination switch and receptacle units.
Applications for Use
For Large Residential Developments, the R30407 is an ideal bulk model due to its dual-certification and cost-efficient manufacturing, facilitating bulk installation across housing projects. In Trade & Wholesale Supply, it occupies the position of a daily-use product, whereas the R30407M serves as an option for those needing higher specifications with phosphor copper contacts. The Retrofit & RMI market benefits from a compliant solution to replace any standard UK switched socket outlet.
R30407 vs R30407M — Choosing the Right Product
The R30407 switch and outlet combo is rated for 15,000 cycles with dual IEC/BS1363 certification, making it suitable for standard residential and light commercial projects. The R30407M, with phosphor copper contacts, offers higher durability at 30,000 cycles for high-traffic areas like offices and hospitality environments. Both share a compact design, similar aesthetics, and identical warranty terms, making them versatile for diverse project needs.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can you have an outlet and a switch in the same box?
A: Yes! This is commonly achieved using a combination device like the R30407. It fits a standard 86×86mm wall box and provides both a rocker switch and a socket outlet in one gang. It is a space-saving and efficient alternative to installing separate modules in a double-gang box.
When would a combination switch and receptacle be used?
A: Such combinations are useful for appliances that benefit from local power isolation without unplugging. Common scenarios include kitchens for toasters, living rooms for entertainment units, hotel rooms for guest-controlled power, and office desks to turn off equipment. The neon indicator is particularly useful to check at a glance if power is running.
How does a switch outlet combo work?
A: The R30407 integrates a single-pole rocker switch wired in series with the socket, ensuring clear control. When the switch is ON, the socket is live, and the neon indicator lights up. Switching it OFF cuts off the power completely, providing a physical and visible circuit break.
What is the 2 6 12 rule for outlets?
A: The “2, 6, 12” rule is a guideline for receptacle spacing in North American residential rooms. It stipulates that outlets should be installed on walls wider than 2 feet, every 6 feet along the wall, and no more than 12 feet apart. UK wiring regulations, such as those for BS1363 units like the R30407, follow different spacing conventions depending on room use and requirements.
