Anchor Roma 20A Socket 2M

Product Details

Key Specifications & Features Rated current: 20 A/10 A (meaning one of the twin sockets is rated 20 A and the other 10 A) as per listing for model 66405 (2 M). Module size: 2‑Module (2 M) width — the unit occupies two module spaces in a modular plate. Series / finish: Under the Roma Urban / Roma Classic range — offering modern aesthetics. For example: “Slim and Sleek design. Super Glossy Finish” for model 66405. Material: V‑0 grade polycarbonate, flame‑retardant plastic for durability and safety. Example Amazon listing for 66405B twin socket lists “V0 Grade Polycarbonate (Flame Retardent)”. Safety / design features: Some listings mention features like “Dust Free Finish”, “Shuttered for Child Safety”, “IP 20 protection” for the 2 M universal/heavy‑duty socket variant in the Roma range. Typical application: Suitable for heavier load socket points where you may need a higher rated outlet (20 A) along with a standard 10 A socket in the same module width. Useful in residences or commercial spaces for appliances/plug‑points needing more current capacity. --- Practical Uses & Considerations Application: If you have devices/appliances that draw higher current (e.g., heavy plug loads, UPS systems, moderate motorised equipment) then the 20 A side gives you headroom over a typical 10 A socket. The twin configuration means you also get a standard 10 A socket in the same plate for normal loads. Installation environment: In homes/offices, especially in places with modular plate systems, this twin socket gives flexibility. In a coastal/humid climate like Chennai, selecting a high‑quality finish, good back‑box installation and correct wiring is important to ensure reliability. Modular compatibility: Since it’s 2 M, you must ensure your wall box/plate/frame supports two modules width — if you only have a 1‑module space you’ll need re‑configuration. Load & wiring: Although the socket supports 20 A rating, the upstream wiring, circuit breaker/MCB, and actual load must be suitable for 20 A. Using 20 A socket on undersized wiring or on a circuit protected for 10 A may defeat the advantage or pose safety risk. --- Things to Verify Before Buying Model/part number: Make sure you are getting the correct variant (for example 66405 for the twin socket 20 A/10 A 2 M) as per the Roma Urban listing. Finish & colour: The Roma range offers variant finishes (white gloss, matt black, etc). Choose one matching your interior/other switches. Shutter & safety features: Check if the socket includes shutters (especially if children are around) and confirm the ratings for both sockets (20 A and 10 A). Plate/box compatibility: Ensure your wall plate/gang is designed for 2 modules width and that the back‑box depth and wiring clearances are adequate. Authenticity & warranty: Ensure genuine Anchor product— packaging, brand marking, and buy from authorised distributor to ensure warranty support. Load matching & installation: Even though one side is 20 A rated, verify that the actual equipment plugged and the wiring are appropriate. If your wiring is weak or protected by a lesser MCB, you may not realise full benefit.
