BG Evolve PCDBC22UAC22B 22W USB Double Socket - Black Chrome

BG Evolve PCDBC22UAC22B-01 Black Chrome USB-A and USB-C Socket

Power everyday appliances and charge compatible mobile devices without occupying either mains outlet with the BG Evolve PCDBC22UAC22B-01 Black Chrome Double Switched Socket. This premium wall socket combines two individually switched 13A UK outlets with integrated USB-A and USB-C fast-charging ports in one modern, space-saving accessory.

Its polished Black Chrome front plate and coordinated black inserts create a bold decorative finish for contemporary kitchens, bedrooms, living rooms, home offices, hotels and high-end commercial interiors. The low-profile screwless plate conceals the fixing screws and clips off when decorating, helping installers achieve a clean and professionally finished appearance.

Integrated 22W USB Fast Charging

The PCDBC22UAC22B-01 incorporates one USB-A port and one USB-C port, allowing compatible smartphones, tablets, headphones and other rechargeable devices to be powered directly from the wall socket without a separate plug-in charger.

BG markets the socket as providing 22W variable-voltage fast charging with support for Power Delivery and Quick Charge protocols. Its AutoDetect technology identifies the connected device and adjusts the charging voltage and current to suit its requirements.

The USB-C port supports outputs including:

• 5V at 3A
• 9V at 2.4A
• 12V at 1.5A
• 15V at 1.4A
• 20V at 1A
• Maximum individual output of 21.6W

The USB-A port supports 5V, 9V and 12V charging, with a maximum individual output of 21.6W. Charging protocols include PD 3.0, QC 3.0, Apple 2.4A, Samsung AFC, Huawei FCP and BC1.2, depending on the selected port and connected device.

When both USB ports are used together, charging power is shared between them. BG lists a maximum 5V/2.4A output from each port during simultaneous USB-A and USB-C use. Actual charging speed depends on the device, cable, battery condition and supported charging protocol.

Smart Charging and Built-In Protection

The smart USB system enters a low-power standby mode when charging demand drops, helping avoid unnecessary power consumption after a connected device is fully charged. The technical specification lists no-load power consumption below 0.1W.

Integrated protection includes:

• USB overcurrent protection
• USB overvoltage protection
• Over-temperature protection
• Automatic recovery following certain protection events
• Internal 2A input fuse

These protective features support safer everyday charging, although customers should still use suitable, undamaged USB cables and compatible devices.
