USB A & USB C Wall Outlet 20A Duplex Tamper Resistant - Fast In-Wall

In this review of the ELEGRP USB A & USB C Wall Outlet, the bottom line is simple: this duplex receptacle is for homeowners or contractors who want in-wall USB charging without sacrificing standard outlet capacity. It combines a NEMA 5-20R 20 amp duplex outlet with two dedicated USB ports to simplify charging in kitchens, garages, workshops or high-traffic rooms. The most compelling reason to buy is the built-in USB charging controller that negotiates optimal power for connected devices, delivering stable charging along with standard outlet functionality in a single fixture.

Key Features

• 20 Amp Duplex Outlet: Provides a full NEMA 5-20R receptacle suitable for circuits requiring 20 amp capacity while retaining two standard plug slots for appliances.
• Dual USB Ports: Integrates one USB-C and one USB-A port so two devices can charge at once without using an adapter or occupying an outlet slot.
• High-Speed Charging Tech: Offers a combined USB output of 4.2 Amp 5V DC with USB-C up to 3.0 Amp and USB-A up to 2.4 Amp when used separately for faster device charging.
• Dedicated Port Controller: Each USB port has a protocol chip that senses device needs and delivers compatible current for more stable and efficient charging.
• Tamper Resistant Shutters: Built-in shutters improve child safety by preventing foreign objects from being inserted into the outlet slots.
• Easy to Install: Supports side and back wiring, fits standard wall boxes and ships with a wall plate so it can replace existing outlets with minimal fuss.

Who It's For

The outlet is ideal for homeowners, renters and electricians who want a clean in-wall charging solution for phones, tablets, e-readers and other USB devices while keeping full use of a 20 amp duplex receptacle. It makes particular sense in kitchens, home offices, living rooms and workshops where multiple device types are charged regularly.

It is less suitable for those who need very high-wattage USB Power Delivery for laptops over 60W, as the ports are designed for mobile and small device charging at 5V outputs. Also, if you need non-standard receptacle types or higher-voltage specialty circuits, look for a device designed for those specific requirements.
