Description
The Knightsbridge NET5AWH is a 5A unswitched round pin socket module in white ABS, designed for euro-module faceplates using the 50x50mm grid format. The socket accepts BS 546 round pin plugs and provides a single earthed outlet rated at 5A on 230V mains, suitable for lighting circuits, low-draw appliances and legacy equipment requiring round pin connection.
Designed for modular electrical installations in residential, hospitality and commercial settings, the module clips into Knightsbridge's euro-module faceplates alongside other grid modules including switches, dimmers, data outlets and USB charging ports. The 26mm recessed depth fits standard 25mm minimum back boxes, and the module locks into the faceplate frame without requiring individual module fixings.
The white ABS construction matches Knightsbridge's wider white grid system and carries IP20 rating for general indoor use. The unswitched design provides a permanent live connection when the circuit is energised, making it suitable for applications where switching happens at the appliance rather than the socket. The earth terminal provides safety grounding for connected equipment.

Frequently Asked
What is a BS 546 round pin socket used for?
BS 546 round pin sockets are typically used for lighting circuits, stage lighting, older appliances and equipment requiring legacy round pin connection. The 5A rating suits low-draw applications where the newer BS 1363 13A square pin standard is not required.
Is this module compatible with all euro-module faceplates?
The module is designed for Knightsbridge's 50x50mm euro-module grid system. It clips into Knightsbridge grid faceplates that accept 50x50mm modules. Compatibility with other manufacturers' grid systems depends on whether they use the same 50mm pitch and clip mechanism.
What back box depth is required?
A 25mm minimum back box depth is needed. The module itself has a 26mm recessed depth, but the faceplate adds minimal additional projection once the module is clipped into place.
Why is the socket unswitched?
Unswitched sockets provide a permanent live connection when the circuit is energised, which is useful for equipment that has its own on-off switch or for lighting circuits where switching happens at a separate wall switch. If you need local switching at the socket, Knightsbridge produces switched variants in the same grid format.
