BG Nexus NBN28B 2A Round Pin Unswitched Socket – Black Insert - Black Nickel

Add a dedicated low-power round-pin connection point with the BG Nexus Metal NBN28B-01 Black Nickel 2A Single Unswitched Round Pin Socket. Designed for compatible 2A round-pin plugs, this premium indoor wiring accessory combines specialist BS 546 round-pin connectivity with a sleek Black Nickel metal faceplate and contrasting black insert.

The NBN28B-01 is particularly relevant for customers searching for a 2A round pin socket, 2 amp lamp socket, Black Nickel round pin socket, lighting circuit socket, unswitched lamp outlet or BS 546 socket.

2A Round Pin Socket

BG identifies NBN28B-01 specifically as a single 2A round-pin unswitched socket. It is designed for a compatible round-pin plug and should not be confused with a standard UK 13A rectangular-pin socket outlet.

This distinction is particularly useful for replacement installations where an existing dedicated lamp or low-power round-pin outlet must be matched correctly.

Suitable for Dedicated Lamp Connections

BG’s 2A round-pin range is intended for low-power applications and is commonly associated with lamp connections within appropriately designed lighting installations. The 2A format is therefore highly relevant for searches such as round pin lamp socket, table lamp wall socket, floor lamp socket, lighting circuit outlet and dedicated lamp connection point.

This makes NBN28B-01 especially attractive for bedrooms, living rooms, hotels and higher-end residential interiors where plug-in lamps are incorporated into the wider lighting scheme.

Unswitched Design

The NBN28B-01 is unswitched. BG’s current exact specification lists zero switches, so there is no rocker or local on/off control integrated into the faceplate.

Where switching is required, it must therefore form part of the correctly designed electrical installation rather than being provided by the socket itself.

Premium Black Nickel Finish

The faceplate is finished in Black Nickel, with BG’s official colour reference identifying BN = Black Nickel. The exact product page also confirms a black front-plate insert.

This darker decorative finish works particularly well with black lighting, smoked or dark metallic hardware, contemporary kitchens, modern bedrooms, home offices, boutique hotels and modern-classic interiors.

Sleek Nexus Metal Styling

BG describes the Nexus Metal range as having a sleek and slim profile with softly rounded edges, intended to give a premium appearance. The product also incorporates colour-matched fixing screws and a fixed gasket behind the faceplate.

This makes the NBN28B-01 a more design-focused alternative to standard moulded round-pin outlets where the electrical accessories need to coordinate with the wider interior.

BS 546 Round Pin Standard

BG’s official technical sheet specifies BS 546 for the Nexus Metal round-pin socket range. The range-level technical rating is 250V AC, while the current exact NBN28B-01 webpage lists an operating voltage of 220–240V.

For the Shopify product page, I would publish 220–240V as the current SKU-specific operating-voltage figure and reference BS 546 as the applicable round-pin socket standard.

Angled In-Line Colour-Coded Terminals

BG equips NBN28B-01 with angled, in-line terminals with colour-coded printing, designed to provide easier conductor access during installation.

The exact current product page lists terminal capacity as:

1 × 2.5mm².

BG’s broader round-pin technical sheet lists range-level capacities of 4 × 1.0mm², 3 × 1.5mm² and 1 × 4.0mm², but because those figures apply to the wider family rather than specifically to NBN28B-01, the exact live-page 1 × 2.5mm² value is the safer figure for this SKU.

Captive & Backed-Out Terminal Screws

BG confirms both captive terminal screws and backed-out terminal screws. Captive screws help reduce screw loss during installation, while backed-out screws allow conductors to be inserted without first having to fully loosen the terminals.
