Click Scolmore MCP840 13A 2 Gang Double Pole Socket with LEDs

The Click Scolmore MCP840 13A 2 Gang Double Pole Switched Socket Outlet is a robust surface-mounted power accessory from the Metal Clad Pro range. Designed with outboard rocker switches and red LED indicators, it provides convenient control of two UK plug sockets while making their switched status easier to identify.

Finished in dusty grey, the MCP840 combines a durable electrophoretically coated metal plate with a matching coated back box. Its professional metal clad construction makes it an excellent alternative to standard plastic sockets in workshops, garages, warehouses, utility areas, plant rooms, offices and commercial maintenance environments.

Each outlet incorporates double-pole switching, disconnecting both the live and neutral conductors when switched off. The two outboard rockers are positioned towards the outer edges of the socket, helping provide straightforward access when plugs or larger power adaptors are connected.

The integrated red LED indicators give users a clear visual indication of the socket’s operating status. This is especially useful in busy workplaces, workshops, commercial premises and utility spaces where connected equipment may need to be identified or isolated quickly.

Rated at 13A and 250V AC, the Scolmore MCP840 is suitable for compatible UK electrical appliances and equipment when installed on an appropriately designed socket circuit. Its two-gang configuration allows two devices to be connected from one convenient surface-mounted power point.

The MCP840 includes twin-earth terminals, helping electricians maintain secure protective conductor connections and earth continuity. Its terminals accommodate up to three 2.5mm² conductors or two 4mm² conductors, subject to the circuit design and applicable wiring requirements.

A matching 40mm-deep metal back box is supplied, providing a complete surface-mounted socket solution without requiring a separate enclosure. The electrophoretically coated plate and box create a consistent dusty grey appearance throughout the installation.

The complete accessory measures 148mm wide, 88mm high and 48mm deep, with fixing centres of 120.6mm. Its compact double-socket format provides two switched outlets without taking up unnecessary wall space.

With an IP20 ingress-protection rating, the MCP840 is intended for indoor use in dry environments. Its stated operating-temperature range is -5°C to +40°C.

Choose the Click Scolmore MCP840 metal clad double socket for a dependable 13A power outlet with double-pole switching, accessible outboard rockers, visible LED indicators, twin-earth terminals and a matching surface back box. It is particularly suitable for electricians, electrical contractors, facilities teams, landlords and customers seeking a durable grey socket for professional indoor installations.

The official specification confirms the 13A rating, double-pole switching, LED indicators, outboard rockers, twin-earth terminals and included 40mm back box.

Yes. Both outlets use double-pole switching, which disconnects the live and neutral conductors when the relevant socket is switched off.

What is the electrical rating of the MCP840?

The socket outlet is rated at 13A and 250V AC. The connected equipment and total circuit load must remain within the permitted electrical rating.

Is a back box included?

Yes. The MCP840 is supplied complete with a matching 40mm-deep metal back box for surface-mounted installation.

Does the MCP840 have twin-earth terminals?

Yes. Twin-earth terminals are included to support secure protective-conductor termination and earth continuity.

What cable sizes can the terminals accept?

The MCP840 terminal capacity is three 2.5mm² conductors or two 4mm² conductors. Cable selection must be confirmed against the circuit design and current wiring requirements.

What are the dimensions of the MCP840?
