A 5-pin socket with switch is a wall-mounted electrical outlet that lets you plug in devices with 3-pin (earth) and 2-pin plugs — and it also has a built-in on/off switch to control the power to the socket without unplugging appliances.

The “full glass” or tempered glass front means the faceplate of the socket is made from glass or polished acrylic glass, giving it a sleek, glossy, modern look compared with plain plastic models.

      Key Features & Benefits

• Universal 5-pin design – supports both common plug types (2-pin and 3-pin), so you can use it for most appliances without adapters.
• Built-in switch – lets you safely turn power on/off without unplugging appliances — good for energy savings and convenience.
• Tempered glass / smooth glossy finish – looks more elegant on walls and is easier to clean than rough plastic.
• Durable & safe materials – flame-retardant polycarbonate/PC housing and good internal contacts help reduce risk of sparks and corrosion.
• Standard electrical rating – most are made for the usual 220–250 V AC mains supply in homes/offices.

       It’s Used

These are most commonly installed in homes, offices, shops, and workshops — basically anywhere you need a fixed wall socket for appliances like:

• Fans, lights, TVs
• Chargers and small electronics
• Kitchen gadgets (rice cookers, mixers, etc.)
• Computers or monitors

The switch means you don’t have to unplug everything just to cut the power.
