Junon 13A Twin Socket
The Junon Twin Cherry Socket provides a high-quality electrical interface for commercial and residential installations. It meets British Standard 1363 requirements for dual-gang power outlets. This component integrates a 13A current capacity per gang to handle high-load appliances. Engineers utilize this electrical hardware in environments requiring robust power distribution.
Key Features
-
Terminal Architecture
Individual screw terminals secure copper conductors up to 4mm diameter to ensure low-resistance connectivity. -
Safety Mechanisms
- Shuttered live and neutral ports prevent accidental contact
- Direct earth connection facilitates effective fault current dissipation
-
Load Management
The dual-gang configuration supports simultaneous 13A draw across both outlets for heavy-duty machinery. -
Chassis Durability
- Flame-retardant polycarbonate interior withstands high thermal stress
- Impact-resistant cherry wood faceplate maintains structural integrity
The internal mechanism consists of high-conductivity copper alloy contacts. These contacts ensure minimal heat generation during continuous operation. The faceplate utilizes impact-resistant materials to maintain structural integrity over time. Each outlet includes an integrated safety shutter mechanism. This feature blocks access to live terminals unless an earth pin is inserted. The grounding terminal connects directly to the metal yoke for effective fault current dissipation. Installation involves standard 25mm or 35mm back boxes.
The terminal screws provide high torque retention for secure cable clamping. This reduces the risk of arcing caused by loose connections. The unit supports ring main and radial circuit configurations. It operates within a standard frequency range of 50Hz to 60Hz. The cherry wood finish provides a distinctive appearance for professional office spaces. The surface resists fading from UV exposure. Cleaning requires only a dry cloth to prevent moisture ingress into the electrical components. This hardware fits into standard double-gang mounting frames.
The internal chassis uses flame-retardant polycarbonate. This material withstands high temperatures during short-circuit events. The design allows for quick termination during high-volume deployments. Bulk packaging in 50-piece cartons facilitates large-scale procurement for construction sites. The twin socket configuration maximizes power density in a single wall point. It eliminates the need for multiple single-gang boxes. The product maintains electrical performance across a wide temperature range. It provides a reliable connection for IT equipment and general-purpose machinery.
The terminal layout facilitates easy wiring in cramped wall boxes. Each terminal clearly displays L, N, and E markings for identification. The screws use a deep-head design to prevent driver slippage. This ensures installers can apply maximum pressure without damaging the hardware. The cherry wood texture covers a high-density plastic core. This hybrid construction ensures the socket remains rigid during plug insertion. It prevents the faceplate from bowing or cracking under stress. The dimensions follow standard UK-style sizing for compatibility with existing infrastructure.

Very neat finish. These Junon sockets look way better than the standard white ones in my living room. Fast delivery to Thika.
Faith Mutua (verified owner) –
Used these for a renovation in Kilimani. The 13A twin is very convenient and the build quality is sturdy. My electrician was happy with the internal wiring space, said they are easy to fit.
Evans Omondi (verified owner) –
I bought several of these for my home office setup. I like that the SKTT-JNNW model doesn’t feel flimsy when you plug in heavy laptop adapters. The cherry color gives the room a premium feel without being too flashy. It’s better to pay a bit more for Junon than to keep replacing the cheap ones every few months. Highly recommended for anyone doing a serious build.

Solid sockets. They click well and don’t spark when plugging in the iron box like those common brands. Quality is definitely there.
Brian Kiprop (verified owner) –
The socket is 100% genuine and heavy duty, but the mounting screws provided were a bit short for my specific deep wall boxes. I had to use longer ones I had in my toolbox. Otherwise, the 13A twin unit itself is top notch.
