What is a 13A switch socket?
- Rated at 13A for UK standard plugs
- Usually features a push-button or rocker switch
- Back-box compatibility with standard UK depths
- Available in multiple finishes and faceplate styles
What are the common types of 13A switch sockets?
- Single-gang 13A switch socket: one socket outlet with an integrated switch, ideal for general purpose use.
- Two-gang 13A switch socket: provides two independent outlets with a single or two switches, useful for controlling two devices separately.
- 11 13A fused switch socket: includes an internal fuse in the switch body for protection on certain circuits.
- With neon indicator: an LED indicator shows when the circuit is live or switched on, aiding visibility in dark rooms.
- Shuttered or child-safe variants: protects against unauthorized access to live contacts, enhancing safety for households with children.
- Decorative / screwless faceplates: streamlined appearance with snap-on or clip-on faceplates for a clean finish.
Where should I install a 13A switch socket?
- Indoor dry areas typically use standard IP20 or IP44 variants
- In kitchens, place away from direct water splash zones
- In hallways or lounges, use decorative faceplates to blend with decor
How do I choose the right 13A switch socket for my needs?
ensure the socket is rated for 13A and suitable for the intended appliance. - Faceplate style and material: polycarbonate, thermoset, or metal plates with screwless or traditional screws.
- Finish: white, ivory, black, or metallic finishes to match room aesthetics.
- Safety features: shuttered outlets, neon indicators, and IP rating for damp environments.
- Configuration: single-gang vs double-gang, with one or two switches, and whether you need a fused switch option.
- Back box depth and mounting: compatibility with wall cavities and stud walls, and whether shallow boxes are sufficient.
What finishes and installation options are available for 13A switch sockets?
white, cream, black, brushed chrome, satin nickel, and other tones to coordinate with fixtures. IP20 for general indoor use, IP44/IP55 variants for splash-prone areas where allowed by regulation.
What safety standards apply to 13A switch sockets?
- BS 1363-2: socket-outlets and their compatibility with BS 1363 plugs, including switching components and isolation.
- BS 1363-1: plugs; BS 1363-3: fused connection units; together these define safe, standardized plug and socket configurations.
- EN 60669: specifications for electrical switches, including mechanical life and electrical performance.
- RoHS/REACH: restrictions on hazardous substances to ensure safer materials.
- IP ratings: appropriate protection against solids and water ingress where applicable (IP20, IP44, etc.).
Can I upgrade existing outlets to a 13A switch socket without rewiring?
- The existing back box depth and mounting points are compatible with the new unit.
- The wiring terminals and conductor sizes meet the current rating and local electrical codes.
- The replacement back box and faceplate fit cleanly within the wall opening and do not affect nearby cables or devices.
