What Is a 15A USB Receptacle?
A 15A USB receptacle is an indoor wall outlet that combines a standard 15A, 125V, NEMA 5-15R AC receptacle with built-in USB charging. On the current SXUT1536 page, this model is listed as a tamper-resistant USB receptacle with dual USB-A charging, 3.6A total USB output, and up to 5V DC 2.4A per USB-A port. That makes it suitable for indoor spaces where buyers want direct device charging without relying on bulky plug-in adapters.
Who Should Use This Model
- Contractors sourcing indoor USB wall outlet upgrades
- Hospitality buyers upgrading guest rooms and bedside charging points
- Property management teams modernizing apartments and multi-unit interiors
- Distributors building out tamper-resistant USB receptacle inventory for indoor projects.
When to Choose a Different Model
- Choose a USB GFCI receptacle when the installation location requires ground-fault protection rather than a standard USB wall outlet.
- Choose a USB-A/C receptacle when the project needs USB-C compatibility instead of dual USB-A charging.
- Choose a WR receptacle when the installation requires weather-resistant construction, because this model is explicitly Weather Resistant: None.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Are USB receptacles required to be tamper-resistant by NEC?
Yes, in NEC-covered locations. NEC 406.12 requires tamper-resistant construction for listed 15A and 20A, 125V and 250V nonlocking receptacles in the covered installation locations. Because this device includes a 15A NEMA 5-15R receptacle, tamper-resistant construction supports compliance in locations such as dwelling units, hotel and motel guest rooms, and child care facilities.
Does this USB receptacle require a special electrical box?
No special box type is required by default, but installers should confirm that the wall box has enough space for the device body and conductors. This receptacle installs in a standard single-gang wall box and uses standard 125V AC branch-circuit wiring.
Can this USB receptacle replace a standard wall outlet?
Yes. This device installs in the same standard single-gang wall box as a conventional duplex receptacle and uses the same 125V AC wiring. The built-in USB charging ports draw power from the same branch circuit, so no additional low-voltage wiring is needed during replacement.
Is this model rated for wet locations?
No. This product is not a WR model and is intended for indoor applications. It should not be used as an outdoor or wet-location receptacle.
Where is this USB receptacle commonly used?
Common applications include hotel guest rooms, bedside areas, living rooms, home offices, and other indoor spaces where direct USB charging is useful.
Does this receptacle include GFCI protection?
No. This product is a USB receptacle, not a GFCI receptacle. Projects that require ground-fault protection should use a GFCI or USB GFCI model instead of this standard USB wall outlet.
Can I charge two devices at the same time?
Yes. The two USB-A ports share a combined 3.6A output at 5V DC. A single device can draw up to 2.4A from one port; when two devices charge simultaneously, the current is shared between ports up to the 3.6A total. Actual charging speed depends on each device’s charging behavior.
How does this differ from a USB-A/C combination receptacle?
This model uses two USB-A charging ports. A USB-A/C combination receptacle replaces one of those ports with a USB-C interface, which improves compatibility with newer charging cables and devices.
