Powermax Universal Socket
The Powermax Single Socket Multi-Functional provides a versatile electrical interface for diverse plug standards in professional environments. This unit supports UK 3-pin, EU 2-pin, and US 2-pin configurations within a standard 86mm single-gang footprint. It handles a maximum current load of 13A at 250V AC. The internal architecture utilizes phosphor bronze contacts to maintain high conductivity over repeated insertion cycles. This specific SKU integrates a mechanical switch to isolate power at the point of use. The faceplate consists of high-impact polycarbonate to resist mechanical stress and thermal deformation.
Terminal connectivity relies on heavy-duty brass screw clamps. These terminals accommodate up to 3 x 2.5mm² or 2 x 4.0mm² conductors. The design prioritizes low contact resistance to minimize heat generation during peak load operations. Integrated safety shutters prevent accidental contact with live components. These shutters only retract when a standard plug earth pin or simultaneous neutral/live pins apply pressure. Additionally, the unit features a gloss finish that resists UV degradation and maintains structural integrity in varying humidity levels.

This Powermax socket is a lifesaver for my home office in Syokimau. I have several gadgets from abroad with different pins, and now I don’t need those shaky adapters that keep sparking. It fits the wall perfectly and the switch feels very solid. Definitely worth the price for the convenience.

Good quality material and very convenient for the living room. It handles my heavy kitchen appliances without heating up like the cheap ones.
