Anchor Roma 10A Socket

Product Details

Key Specifications & Features Rated current: 10 A, voltage 240 V AC (typical Indian residential supply). Socket format: 5‑pin variant (Indian standard 3‑pin + 2 additional pins) – for example the listing shows “5 pin” for this socket. Module size: “2 Module” (2M) width – meaning it occupies two adjacent module slots in the modular plate system. Material / build: Thermo‑plastic / polycarbonate body for durability. For example: “Material: Thermo Plastic” in the IBO listing. Finish & aesthetics: Glossy white finish in many listings, sleek design suitable for modern interiors. For example: the socket is described as “Glossy” and part of the “Roma, India’s largest selling modular switches & sockets, comes with a variety of beautiful colors, textures and finishes.” Compliance / certification: BIS‑certified and made by Anchor (Panasonic Life Solutions India Pvt. Ltd) — Indian origin. For example “Certification | BIS” in one listing. Additional features: The design mentions “Slim and sleek design”, “Extra safety”, “Toggled technology” in one of the product descriptions. Weight / dimensions (example variant): One listing shows weight ~ 50 g for a “10 A Multi Socket (White)” variant. --- Typical Use‑Cases & Considerations Ideal for standard residential plug‑points where a 10 A socket is sufficient — e.g., small appliances, lamps, general power outlets. Because it is 2 module width, it’s useful when you want a larger face‑plate or a combined socket layout (for example multiple sockets grouped) and want good aesthetics. Being part of the Roma modular range means it will match other switches/sockets from the same series in terms of design and finish — helpful if you want all accessories in a space to look consistent. In installations in humid/coastal areas like Chennai: ensure correct back‑box depth, good wiring practice, secure earthing, and that the socket is properly mounted to avoid loose connections or ingress of moisture. --- What to Verify / Points Before Buying Socket type/number of pins: Confirm it fits your plug format (3‑pin, 5‑pin, universal) and wiring layout. The variant listed is “5‑pin 10 A 2‑Module”. Module size compatibility: 2 Module dimension means you must have frame/plate that supports 2 adjacent modules; if your plate is 1‑module or limited width, pick accordingly. Finish & color: Many rooms require consistent finish with existing switches/sockets (gloss white vs other color). Make sure it matches. Load requirement: A 10 A socket is fine for standard loads; if you have heavy appliances or high current draw you might need a higher rated socket (16 A/20 A). Installation wiring & protection: Ensure wiring gauge and protective device (MCB/fuse) are matched to the socket rating; a 10 A socket on undersized wiring could still be a hazard. Brand authenticity & warranty: Anchor by Panasonic is a known brand; ensure you buy from authorised dealer so you get genuine product and warranty support. Safety features: If children are around, verify if socket has child‑safety shutters; also ensure good earthing and that the mounting plate is securely fixed.
