Legrand, a leading provider of electrical wiring devices and home systems, announced the availability of its new Pass & Seymour® UL Fed Spec Grade USB duplex receptacle.

The new 125V Pass & Seymour® UL Fed Spec Grade USB charger is available in 15 and 20A versions and features an improved overall 3.1A USB charging capability. The combination AC duplex tamper-resistant receptacles contain a patented shutter system which prevents the improper insertion of foreign objects as well as twin 5-volt DC USB charging ports that work with USB 2.0 and 3.0 compatible devices.

The strength and durability of the new receptacles makes them capable of withstanding heavy use due to their UL Federal Specification certification. The UL listed Fed spec USB chargers are specially designed for the commercial market including health care and education facilities, airports, retail, hospitality/lodging, offices, institutional and multiple dwellings.

“Not only do these markets require robust receptacles, but they increasingly require greater access to charging facilities for USB-powered devices,” said Kevin Kohl, product line manager, Legrand Electrical Wiring Systems Division. “Our new UL-listed Fed Spec USB Chargers will allow users to consistently and reliably charge their devices in safety and with confidence.”

The Pass & Seymour® UL Fed Spec Grade USB duplex receptacles feature stainless steel auto-ground clips to assure positive ground, zinc-plated ground terminal screw, as well as triple-wipe brass contacts for lasting retention. The screw-pressure-plate back wiring makes installation fast and easy.

The new charger’s back and side wire terminals can accommodate #14 AWG - #10 AWG stranded and solid copper wire.
The UL Fed Spec USB Charger is cULus listed and complies with the following test requirements UL 498, UL 1310, Fed Spec WC596, CSA C22.2 No. 42 and CSA C22.2 No. 223.
