TBC 2 Gang 13A Switch Socket ( B8-213 ) B-Series

The B8-213 Series socket employs a rocker-type switching mechanism to interrupt the circuit at the socket outlet, providing a clear visual indication of the on/off state. The brass contact inserts are precision-formed to maintain firm, low-resistance engagement with UK 3-pin plug blades, minimising resistive heating under rated load conditions. The polycarbonate body material meets flame-retardancy requirements appropriate for indoor wiring accessories, ensuring that the socket self-extinguishes in the event of localised thermal stress.

The socket is rated at 13A / 250V AC and carries an IP20 protection classification, confirming suitability for installation in dry indoor environments. The product is designed to operate reliably across an ambient temperature range of -5°C to +40°C and at relative humidity levels up to 95%, covering the full spectrum of typical indoor residential and commercial conditions.
