DETA Slimline S1230 13A 2 Gang Single Pole Switched Socket with 20W USB-C+C+A

2 Gang 13A Switched Socket with Twin USB-C & USB-A Fast Charging

The DETA Slimline S1230 is a contemporary 13A 2 gang single pole switched socket featuring an integrated 20W three-port USB charger, allowing phones, tablets and other compatible USB-powered devices to be charged without occupying either mains socket.

Equipped with two USB-C ports and one USB-A port, the S1230 provides a flexible charging solution for both newer USB-C devices and equipment that still uses USB-A cables. Support for Power Delivery 3.0 and Quick Charge 3.0 enables optimised high-speed charging for compatible devices, with up to 20W available from a single USB-C connection.

Part of the DETA Slimline range, the socket is manufactured from durable white urea formaldehyde and features a low-profile front plate with gently curved top and bottom edges. Installer-friendly features include top-facing cage terminals, captive and backed-out screws, large cable lead-ins, clear terminal markings and a recessed earth bar.

Despite incorporating three USB charging ports, the S1230 is designed to fit a minimum 25mm back box, making it an attractive upgrade for suitable domestic and commercial installations.

Three Built-In USB Charging Ports

The S1230 incorporates two USB-C ports and one USB-A port, allowing up to three compatible USB-powered devices to be connected simultaneously.

This provides considerably more flexibility than conventional USB sockets equipped with only one or two charging ports.

Modern USB-C devices can connect directly to either USB-C outlet, while the USB-A connection provides continued support for the large number of existing charging cables and accessories using the traditional USB connector.

Most importantly, USB charging does not occupy either of the two 13A mains outlets, leaving both sockets available for appliances.

Up to 20W USB-C Power Delivery Charging

When a single USB-C port is used, the S1230 supports Power Delivery 3.0 with charging up to 20W.

Supported single USB-C outputs are:

• 5V / 3A – 15W
• 9V / 2.2A – Up to 20W
• 12V / 1.7A – Up to 20W

Power Delivery allows compatible devices to negotiate an appropriate charging voltage and current with the charger, helping provide faster and more efficient charging than a conventional fixed-output USB supply.

Actual charging speed depends on the connected device, charging protocol and cable.

USB-A Quick Charge 3.0

The USB-A port supports Quick Charge 3.0, providing up to 18W when used independently with a compatible device.

Supported USB-A outputs are:

• 5V / 3A – 15W
• 9V / 2A – 18W
• 12V / 1.5A – 18W

This makes the S1230 useful for installations where a mixture of newer USB-C equipment and existing USB-A charging cables is likely to be used.

Charge Up to Three Devices Simultaneously

All three USB ports can be used at the same time.

When multiple ports are in operation, the charger provides a shared 15W output at 5V / 3A.

This makes the socket particularly useful in bedrooms, kitchens, home offices, hotels and other locations where several phones or USB-powered devices may need charging at once.

For maximum fast-charging performance, a single compatible USB-C or USB-A connection should be used according to the required charging protocol.

Keep Both 13A Sockets Free

A major advantage of an integrated USB socket is that USB-powered equipment can be charged without using a separate plug-in mains charger.

With the S1230, up to three USB devices can be connected while both 13A socket outlets remain available for conventional appliances.

This can reduce dependence on extension leads, multi-way adaptors and separate USB chargers around the property.

Power Delivery 3.0

The integrated USB-C charging system supports USB Power Delivery 3.0.

Power Delivery allows compatible USB-C devices to communicate with the charger and request an appropriate supported charging profile.

With up to 20W available from a single USB-C port, the S1230 is well suited to compatible smartphones and other USB-C powered devices that benefit from PD fast charging.

Quick Charge 3.0

The USB-A outlet supports Quick Charge 3.0, allowing compatible devices to take advantage of charging rates up to 18W.

This combination of PD 3.0 USB-C and QC 3.0 USB-A provides broad charging flexibility across both current and legacy USB connection formats.

DETA Slimline Low-Profile Design

The S1230 forms part of the established DETA Slimline wiring accessory range.

Slimline accessories feature a contemporary low-profile appearance with subtly curved top and bottom edges, providing a clean finish suitable for both traditional and modern interiors.

The white finish makes the socket easy to coordinate with other white wiring accessories throughout residential and commercial properties.

Durable White Urea Construction

The front plate is manufactured from urea formaldehyde, providing a durable and attractive finish for everyday electrical installations.

This material is widely suited to wiring accessories because of its combination of durability and clean appearance.

Matching fixing screw caps are supplied to help maintain the streamlined appearance once installed.

Installer-Friendly Top-Facing Terminals

DETA has incorporated several installation-focused features into the S1230.

The socket uses top-facing cage terminals, making the terminal screws easier to access during wiring.

Large cable lead-ins help accommodate the circuit conductors, while clear embossed and white printed terminal markings make identification easier during installation.

Captive & Backed-Out Terminal Screws

The terminal screws are supplied captive and backed out, reducing preparation before conductors are inserted.

This can make termination faster, particularly when installing multiple sockets across larger residential or commercial projects.

The design requires only one size 4mm screwdriver, further simplifying installation.

Fits a 25mm Back Box

Despite the integrated three-port USB charger, the S1230 requires a minimum back box depth of only 25mm.

This makes it particularly useful for suitable replacement and refurbishment installations where a deeper back box may not already be available.

Available wiring space and cable arrangement should still be considered, especially where several conductors are terminated within the box.

13A Single Pole Switched Outlets

The S1230 incorporates two individually switched 13A mains socket outlets with single pole switching.

The switch contact gap is specified at a minimum of 3mm.

This provides conventional double-socket functionality alongside the integrated USB charging system.

Generous Terminal Capacity

The S1230 accommodates a useful range of common conductor arrangements.

Terminal capacity is specified as:

• 3 x 2.5mm²
• 2 x 4mm²
• 1 x 6mm²

The correct conductor size and circuit arrangement must always be selected according to the electrical installation design and applicable wiring requirements.

USB Charging Output at a Glance

For customers comparing charging performance, the S1230 provides different maximum outputs depending on how the USB ports are being used.

Single USB-C connection: Up to 20W Power Delivery 3.0

Single USB-A connection: Up to 18W Quick Charge 3.0

Multiple USB connections: Up to 15W / 5V 3A shared

This distinction is important because the three USB ports do not each provide 20W simultaneously.

Ideal Upgrade from a Standard Double Socket

The DETA S1230 provides a convenient way to introduce built-in USB charging without sacrificing conventional mains socket capacity.

For suitable installations with an existing 25mm back box, its compact design can also make upgrading easier than USB sockets requiring substantially deeper mounting boxes.

The result is a practical solution for locations where phones, tablets and other USB-powered equipment are regularly charged.
