Description

The Knightsbridge 5A unswitched round pin socket provides a 5-amp outlet behind a brushed chrome faceplate with a black insert and rounded edges. Built to BS 546 specification, the round pin configuration is used primarily in custom lighting circuits, low-power appliances and vintage electrical installations where 5A wiring is already in place.

Designed for residential rewires, period property restorations and commercial lighting circuits, the socket fits a standard 25mm minimum back box depth and uses screw terminals for secure wiring connections. The unswitched format keeps the outlet permanently live when the circuit is energised, which suits table lamps, wall lights and other fittings where switching happens at the appliance rather than the socket.

The brushed chrome finish offers a mid-tone metallic surface that resists fingerprints better than polished chrome and pairs well with both modern and traditional interiors. The black insert behind the chrome faceplate provides visual separation between the outlet apertures and the wall. The rounded edge design includes a built-in gasket that sits flush against the wall once installed, giving a clean transition from faceplate to plaster. Premium-grade steel construction and a 25-year warranty indicate durability beyond standard residential use.

Frequently Asked

What is a 5A round pin socket used for?

5A round pin sockets are typically used in custom lighting circuits, period property installations and low-power appliances where the original wiring was designed for 5-amp loads. They are less common than standard 13A sockets but remain necessary where existing circuits use round pin wiring.

Why is this socket unswitched?

Unswitched sockets remain permanently live when the circuit is energised, which suits table lamps and wall lights where the on/off control is at the appliance itself rather than the socket. This avoids the need for two switches in sequence to power the device.

What back box depth is required?

A 25mm minimum back box depth is needed for safe installation. The faceplate adds 7.5mm of projection from the wall once fitted.

What other finishes are available in this range?

Knightsbridge produces the rounded edge 5A socket in a range of finishes including polished chrome, brushed chrome, satin brass, polished brass and white. Use the search function or filters to find other variants in stock at Niori.
