Description
Integrate your lighting control seamlessly with the MK K771 WHI 5A Socket. Designed to prevent standard 13A appliances from being plugged into lighting circuits, this round-pin socket is a staple for high-end residential and hospitality installations where mood lighting is controlled via a primary wall switch.
Specialized Safety & Engineering:
-
3-Pin Operated Safety Shutter: Features MK’s patented shutter system, ensuring the live and neutral apertures only open when the earth pin of a 5A round-pin plug is inserted.
-
Round Pin Configuration: Specifically designed for BS 546 5A plugs, acting as a physical safeguard to ensure only low-current lighting equipment is connected to the circuit.
-
Unswitched for Central Control: Being unswitched, this socket is ideal for circuits where the “On/Off” function is handled by a main wall switch or a dimming system elsewhere in the room.
-
Antimicrobial Protection: Manufactured from high-grade urea formaldehyde, the plate has inherent antimicrobial properties that kill over 99.9% of common bacteria (MRSA, E.Coli, Salmonella), making it perfect for both homes and healthcare environments.
Installer Benefits:
-
Top-Access Terminals: Features angled, in-line terminals with backed-out captive screws. This allows for rapid wiring from a single direction, which is especially helpful when working in tight spaces.
-
Low Profile Design: The slim, chamfered-edge profile of the Logic Plus range ensures the socket sits subtly against the wall.
-
Universal Fitting: Standard 60.3mm fixing centers for compatibility with all standard British 1-gang back boxes.
