Description
A 5-pin socket with built-in switch is a wall-mounted power outlet that:
- Accepts both 2-pin and 3-pin plugs (so it handles most household appliances).
- Has a power switch on the panel, so you can turn the socket on/off without unplugging devices.
“Glass Border” & Black Look
- The glass border or tempered glass front gives a sleek, modern, premium look compared with plain plastic sockets.
- Black finish makes it stylish — great for contemporary interior walls (living rooms, bedrooms, offices).
Typical Specs (general for this category)
- Voltage: ~220-250 V AC (standard for most homes).
- Current Rating: Usually around 13A–16A — strong enough for fans, TVs, chargers, and many appliances.
- Material: Tempered glass face with polycarbonate/PC body — looks good, easier to clean, fairly durable.
- Safety: Often flame-retardant casing and stable contact materials for fewer sparks/longevity.
Why People Choose This
Better aesthetics: A polished glass front especially in black gives a more premium finish than basic sockets.
Convenience: Built-in switch means you don’t always need to plug/unplug — good for everyday electronics.
