The SCHUKO® USB socket outlet offers you two in one: an ordinary socket outlet and two USB connections. For example, you can charge your smartphone or tablet in a fixed place while the power is on. The socket is available with both USB-C and USB-A connections.
What makes our SCHUKO® USB socket outlet so special?
Our SCHUKO® USB socket outlet is doubly practical. The normal socket plus two USB ports for charging smartphones, tablets and MP3 players even while the power is on.
The SCHUKO® USB socket outlet offers you a combination of socket outlet and two USB ports (USB-A and USB-C). This allows you to charge at both USB ports at the same time - the maximum current is divided intelligently.
Fast charging protocols
With fast charging, the charging voltage is currently increased from 5 V to up to 20 V and/or the charging current is increased to up to 5 A. For smartphones, however, the standard takes care not to charge with more than about 20 W so as not to damage the battery.
To be able to charge a smartphone via a fast charger, several requirements must be met:
» Smartphones must support at least one fast charging protocol.
» Chargers must offer the corresponding charging protocol
