A 2 in 1 socket gives one point for both kinds of small plugs: the standard Indian 6A three-pin plug and the common two-pin plug. This non-modular version has a white polycarbonate front plate with two fixing holes, and screws onto a traditional switchboard.
It is ISI-marked to IS 1293 and earthed, so it suits appliances with a three-pin plug as well as two-pin chargers and lamps. For geysers and ACs with 16A plugs, choose our 6A & 16A universal socket with porcelain base.
Where to use it
- TV, computer and router points on traditional switchboards.
- Bedroom and hall points for chargers, lamps and fans.
- Kitchen points for mixer-grinders and other small appliances.
- Replacing an old socket on an existing non-modular board.
How to install
- Switch off the circuit at the MCB and check that it is dead.
- Connect line to L, neutral to N and the earth wire to the earth terminal, and tighten them firmly.
- Pass the body through the cut-out in the switchboard sheet and fix the socket with two screws through its fixing holes.
- Switch on and test with a plug.
Electrical work should be done by a licensed electrician with the supply switched off. Always connect the earth wire to the earth terminal.
