C446 — 10A 1-Gang Multi Socket + 20A 1-Gang Switch, DP

Product Overview

ELITE ELEGANCE presents the C446 — 10A 1-gang multi socket + 20A 1-gang switch, DP, a refined solution engineered for modern residences, commercial fit-outs, and intelligent wiring projects. The C446 integrates a versatile 1-gang multi socket with a dedicated 20A 1-gang switch, DP, delivering a compact footprint without compromising performance. Designed and manufactured by Zhejiang TAOS Electric Co., Ltd., this product embodies the company’s longstanding expertise in British standard wiring accessories and its commitment to precision engineering across global markets.

Product Overview and Functional Design

The C446 combines a 1-gang multi socket and a 20A 1-gang switch, DP into a single, elegant faceplate. The 1-gang multi socket is rated at 10A and offers reliable connection points for common household and light commercial devices. The 20A 1-gang switch, DP (double pole), provides safe, robust switching for higher current circuits and appliances that require isolation on both live and neutral lines. This modular integration reduces wall clutter by combining a 1-gang multi socket and a 20A 1-gang switch, DP in one unit while maintaining clear segregation of functionality.

Innovation and Technical Advantages

The C446 leverages practical innovations to address installer and end-user needs while aligning with the durability and safety expectations of British standard wiring accessories:

- Integrated Dual Functionality: By providing a 1-gang multi socket and a 20A 1-gang switch, DP in a unified plate, the C446 minimizes installation complexity and reduces the number of faceplates on a wall. This integrated approach supports modern interior aesthetics and efficient wiring topologies.

- Double-Pole Switching for Enhanced Safety: The 20A 1-gang switch, DP offers double-pole isolation, cutting both live and neutral conductors. This technical advantage increases safety for appliances and simplifies maintenance procedures compared to single-pole alternatives.

- Consistent Electrical Performance: The 10A 1-gang multi socket and the 20A 1-gang switch, DP are built with high-conductivity contacts and secure terminals to resist arcing and wear. This results in reliable performance under frequent use and reduces long-term maintenance needs.

- Compatibility with British standard wiring accessories: Designed with reference to British standard wiring accessories, the C446 ensures that installers can adopt familiar practices and achieve consistent, regulatory-compliant installations across a wide range of projects.

- Installer-Friendly Terminals: The product uses accessible, well-marked terminals compatible with common conductor sizes, promoting faster and more reliable installations.

- Durable and Aesthetic Materials: The faceplate and switch mechanism combine flame-retardant polymers and metal reinforcement where necessary, delivering a balance between refined appearance and industrial resilience, suitable for both commercial and residential settings.

- Support for Smart home wiring trends: As smart home wiring trends continue to emphasize consolidation and modularity, the C446 supports both traditional and modern wiring schemes. The multi-socket and the 20A 1-gang switch, DP configuration is ideal for integrating local switching with smart controllers, local sockets for hubs, and backup circuits.

Installation and Compliance

Installation of the C446 follows standard wiring procedures recommended for British standard wiring accessories. The 10A 1-gang multi socket and the 20A 1-gang switch, DP have clearly labeled terminals for live, neutral, and earth connections. The double-pole switch requires correct routing to ensure comprehensive isolation. ELITE ELEGANCE provides technical documentation and wiring diagrams to support installers in achieving compliant and reliable installations. Where local codes differ, installers should adapt wiring practices to meet regional requirements while relying on the robust base architecture of the product.
