20W USB Outlet – 20W Fast Charging, 13A Power, Single-R30 Panel
The R30491C is a 13A DP switched outlet with integrated USB-A and USB-C ports that enable fast charging at 20 watts from a standard wall socket. Designed to fit into a standard 86×86mm wall box, this 1 gang wall outlet combines a high-power USB-C with a standard USB-A source directly in a BS1363 socket. The 20W output facilitates fast charging for modern phones and tablets, including iPhones and flagship Android devices, without requiring an extra adapter. Certified to IEC 60884, BS1363, and IEC 62680, and backed by a 12-year warranty, this socket represents a future-proof upgrade for residential or commercial projects.
Direct Wall Charging at 20 Watts: Compared to older 2.1A (10.5W) sockets, the 20W USB outlet uses USB Power Delivery and Quick Charge protocols to charge compatible devices approximately three times faster. It can power an iPhone from 0 to 50% within 30 minutes, making it ideal for use in hotels, offices, and living spaces. Additionally, the USB ports operate independently of the socket switch, ensuring uninterrupted charging even when the 13A outlet is off.
Safe-Design Electronics: The USB module is a standalone unit equipped with built-in protections against over-current, over-voltage, overheating, and short circuits. Fully compliant with IEC 62680 USB safety standards, it safeguards both the connected devices during charging cycles and delivers reliable fast charging performance.
R30 Hardware — High-Quality Materials and Reliable Design
Underneath the charging technology, the R30491C incorporates robust R30 series hardware. The 13A socket contacts are constructed from 0.7mm high-purity 62 brass, offering long-lasting pin retention over 30,000 insertion cycles. The double pole switch mechanism features a red copper assembly with a Φ3.5mm × 0.35mm silver alloy touch point for safe, efficient disconnection. A neon indicator illuminates to show when the 13A socket is live, while the front panel utilizes high-strength imported PC material, backed by a durable iron middle plate for enhanced rigidity.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is socket and switch?
A socket, or electrical outlet, provides a point for connecting appliances to the mains power supply. A switch controls the flow of electricity to a circuit. The R30491C is a combination device — it integrates a 13A power socket with a built‑in double pole switch on the same 86×86mm plate. The switch controls the 13A outlet directly, while the separate USB‑A and Type‑C ports provide 20W fast charging independently.
Do I need a 15A or 20A switch?
For most UK domestic circuits, standard sockets and switches are rated at 13A. A 20A switch is typically used as a dedicated isolator for fixed appliances like water heaters. The R30491C is a 13A DP switched socket — correct for general household use on ring main circuits. If you need to isolate a fixed high‑power appliance, the R30 series also includes 20A and 45A DP switches.
Why don’t US sockets have switches?
US sockets typically do not have integrated switches due to historical differences in electrical standards and consumer habits. UK and Commonwealth wiring practice has long favored a switched socket outlet for local point‑of‑use isolation and safety. This is a key design feature of British Standard sockets, including the R30491C and the entire R30 range of electrical sockets & switches.
What are the 5 types of switches?
Common wall switch types include: 1) Single‑pole (SP) for lighting circuits, 2) Double‑pole (DP) for full isolation of fixed appliances, 3) Bell push momentary switches for doorbell circuits, 4) Intermediate switches for multi‑location lighting control, and 5) 20A/45A DP switches for high‑power isolation. The R30491C uses a DP switch to control its 13A socket, and the wider R30 range covers all of these switch types.
