USB socket with Type A & Type C charger outlets
To reduce the environmental impact of old discarded plug-in chargers the European Union is encouraging manufacturers to no longer supply them with their new battery powered devices. Therefore, the demand for 13 A sockets that incorporate USB charging is likely to increase dramatically.
The USB-A connector that has been around for some time is relatively large; can only be inserted into a port in one orientation and requires a USB 2.0 connection for 2.5W charging. The new USB-C connector being smaller; able to be inserted either way up and perhaps most importantly outputting up to 18W to suitable devices for fast charge delivery. If a device doesn’t support QC [Quick Charge] or PD [Power Delivery] then it will default to an optimum charging rate up to 5V 3.1A.
The M2 charger socket is designed to match the soft edge styling of the M2 range and can be a useful addition to your M2 stock profile. It can provide your customers with value-added product and enable them to upsell on their installations when asked to provide just conventional outlets.
As more battery powered devices are supplied without plug-in chargers and as we enter a transition period where USB type A connectors are replaced by the faster type C, the new M2 dual 13 A USB charger socket provides a future proofed solution for your customers and end users. By stocking this product you not only are seen to offer the latest in socket technology but it enables an enhancement to your sale.
