SYRACUSE, N.Y. – Legrand, a leading provider of electrical wiring devices and home systems, has announced the availability of its Pass & Seymour® Fed Spec USB Charger with Tamper-Resistant Receptacle. It is available in 15A and 20A, 125V versions.
The Pass & Seymour® Fed Spec USB Charger with Tamper-Resistant Receptacle has two 5-volt DC USB ports that work with USB 2.0 and 3.0 compatible devices. The 2.1A USB type A receptacle charges quickly and eliminates the need for bulky AC adapters. Its back and side wire terminals accommodate #14 AWG - #10 AWG stranded and solid wire.
Safety is an important aspect of the new, compact-design commercial grade USB. It features a single Tamper-Resistant receptacle with a patented shutter system that prevents the improper insertion of foreign objects. It also meets the 2011 National Electric Code® Tamper-Resistant requirements and is ETL tested in the USA and Canada.
“This USB device was designed specifically for the commercial market where strength, safety and durability are key requirements,” said Gretchen Valentino, product line manager for Legrand Electrical Wiring Systems. “With its Federal Specification certification, these USB devices can easily handle heavy and consistent daily use in a number of commercial applications.”
The new USB receptacles are perfect for the following markets: education, retail, hospitality and lodging, office, health care, institutional and multiple dwelling units.
In these markets, lasting retention is a key factor. “The new USB device meets this challenge with triple-wipe brass contacts, an auto-ground stainless steel clip to assure positive grounding, as well as a zinc-plated ground terminal screw. In addition, the screw-pressure-plate back wiring makes installation fast and easy,” adds Valentino.Â
