Leviton T5832-I In-Wall USB Charger with 20A Tamper-Resistant Outlet

In this review the Leviton T5832-I is evaluated as a straightforward solution for anyone tired of hunting for USB adapters. It replaces a standard outlet with a combined 20A tamper-resistant receptacle and dual USB charger, providing the biggest practical benefit: two dedicated USB ports that deliver a total of 3.6A so phones and small tablets charge reliably without occupying the power sockets. Installers and homeowners who want a neat, compact replacement outlet that keeps two USB devices powered at once will find this model especially useful.

Key Features

• Dual high-powered USB ports: Two USB ports share 3.6A of charging power so two phones can be charged simultaneously without hogging the electrical outlets.
• Smart charging chip: Built-in intelligence recognizes individual device needs to optimize charging current for better everyday charging compatibility.
• 20A tamper-resistant outlet: A full-size tamper-resistant 20A receptacle preserves traditional plug access while helping prevent accidental insertion by children.
• Enhanced safety: Overcurrent protection is included to reduce the risk of supplying too much current to connected electronics.
• Compact Decora fit: The unit fits in a standard wallbox and works with Decora and Decora Plus screwless wallplates for a clean install.
• Flexible wiring: Back and side wired design simplifies installation for electricians and competent DIYers.

Who It's For

The Leviton T5832-I is aimed at homeowners, installers, and small business owners who want to add built-in USB charging to living rooms, bedrooms, kitchens, or public spaces while retaining a full-size 20A outlet. It is especially useful where freeing outlet space matters and a compact, low-profile solution is preferred.

It is not intended for users who need fast Power Delivery charging for laptops or higher-watt USB-C devices; for those use cases look at Leviton models that explicitly support PD. Also, if a matching wallplate is required note the wallplate is sold separately.
