Description
The Knightsbridge 13A 1-gang DP switched socket adds one USB-A and one USB-C charging port behind a white rounded edge faceplate with anti-microbial properties tested to ISO 22196:2011. The USB-C port supports multiple voltage outputs up to 22W maximum (5V/3A, 9V/2.4A, 12V/1.5A, 15V/1.4A, 20V/1.1A), while the USB-A port provides up to 18W fast charging (5V/3A, 9V/2.4A, 12V/1.5A). When both ports charge simultaneously, they share 3.6A at 5V DC (18W total).
Designed for kitchens, bedrooms and home offices where device charging alongside mains power is needed daily, the socket fits a standard 25mm minimum back box depth. The double-pole switch isolates both live and neutral lines when off, providing additional safety over single-pole switching. The rounded edge plate projects 7mm from the wall and includes screw cap covers that hide the fixing screws once installed.
The white thermoset resin construction carries an anti-microbial coating that reduces bacterial growth on the surface, which can be useful in shared households, rental properties, care settings and high-traffic areas where multiple people touch the same switch plate. The 86mm × 86mm footprint matches standard UK wiring accessory sizing, allowing replacement of existing sockets without modifying back boxes or wall cuts.

Frequently Asked
What back box depth is required?
A 25mm minimum back box depth is needed for safe installation. The rounded edge plate adds 7mm of projection from the wall once fitted.
What's the USB charging output when both ports are in use?
When charging via both USB-A and USB-C simultaneously, the socket provides 3.6A at 5V DC shared between the two ports (18W total). When using the USB-C port alone, it supports up to 22W across multiple voltage protocols. The USB-A port alone provides up to 18W fast charging.
What does the anti-microbial coating do?
The thermoset resin faceplate is treated with an anti-microbial coating tested to ISO 22196:2011, which reduces bacterial growth on the surface. This can be useful in shared households, care settings, rental properties and high-traffic areas where multiple people touch the same switch plate daily.
Is the rounded edge style compatible with other Knightsbridge products?
Yes. Knightsbridge produces a range of switches, sockets, dimmers and data outlets in the rounded edge style with matching 86mm × 86mm sizing. These can be installed alongside each other to maintain a consistent aesthetic across a room or property.
