BG Evolve PCDDB21UAC18B 13A Single Switched Socket with USB A + C - Matt Blue

BG Evolve PCDDB21UAC18B-01 Matt Blue USB-A and USB-C Socket

Charge compatible mobile devices while keeping a mains outlet available with the BG Evolve PCDDB21UAC18B-01 Matt Blue 13A Single Switched Socket. Combining one UK power outlet with integrated USB-A and USB-C fast-charging ports, it provides a practical power and charging solution for bedrooms, kitchens, home offices, living spaces, hotels and contemporary apartments.

The distinctive Matt Blue screwless plate is paired with a contrasting black socket insert, creating a bold two-tone finish that coordinates naturally with navy cabinetry, black handles, dark worktops, modern lighting and other BG Evolve Matt Blue wiring accessories.

18W Variable-Voltage Fast Charging

The socket includes one USB-A port and one USB-C port with a maximum individual charging output of 18W. Both connections support variable-voltage charging profiles of 5V/3A, 9V/2A and 12V/1.5A, allowing compatible smartphones, tablets, headphones and other rechargeable devices to receive a suitable voltage and current.

The USB-C connection supports charging technologies including:

• USB Power Delivery 3.0
• Quick Charge 3.0
• Apple 2.4A
• Samsung Adaptive Fast Charging
• Huawei Fast Charge Protocol
• BC1.2 charging

The USB-A connection supports Quick Charge 3.0 and compatible Apple, Samsung and Huawei charging protocols. Charging performance depends on the connected device, cable, battery condition and supported protocol.

Charge Two USB Devices Simultaneously

Both USB ports can be used together, with the available charging capacity shared between the USB-A and USB-C connections.

This allows two compatible devices to be connected at the same time without occupying the 13A mains outlet. It is a useful arrangement beside beds, desks, kitchen worktops and hotel furniture where customers may need to charge a phone and another USB device while continuing to power a lamp, television or computer.

Smart AutoDetect Charging

BG’s AutoDetect technology identifies the connected device and adjusts the charging pattern to suit its requirements. This helps provide an appropriate charging voltage and current without customers needing to select a manual charging mode.

The USB system also enters standby mode when charging demand falls, while built-in protection covers overcurrent, overvoltage and excessive operating temperature. The protection system is designed to recover automatically after applicable fault conditions are cleared.

Single Switched 13A UK Socket

Alongside the USB connections, the PCDDB21UAC18B-01 provides one standard Type G UK power outlet with a single-pole switch.

The socket is rated at 13A, 240V AC, allowing suitable appliances and electrical equipment to be powered while the USB ports are used independently. Potential applications include:

• Bedside lamps
• Televisions
• Computers and monitors
• Office equipment
• Phone and tablet chargers
• Audio equipment
• Small domestic appliances
• Hotel-room electrical products

The connected load must remain within the ratings of the socket, circuit and protective device.
