Leviton introduced its Type A/C USB Weather-Resistant Charger/Receptacle.
The receptacle is Leviton’s first outdoor addition to their extensive line of In-Wall USB Chargers, and it can be installed on any GFCI-protected circuit to improve outdoor living.
“Leviton is pleased to offer our customers a safe and reliable outdoor USB charger option,” Leviton’s director of product management, residential, William Randall, stated.
“The device delivers a convenient way to charge electronics while spending time outdoors, so users never lose sight of, or access to, their smartphones, tablets, laptops, and more.”
Leviton’s Type A/C USB Weather-Resistant Charger/Receptacle is the industry’s first Weather-Resistant USB to use an innovative process that provides added protection to electrical components for long-lasting durability.
It is designed for residential and commercial applications such as outdoor kitchens, decks, patios, porches, cabanas, restaurants, parks, and more.
To meet the requirements of NEC 406.9B, the device has easy-to-install wire lead termination and can be paired with Leviton’s durable horizontal or vertical While-In-Use (WIU) Outdoor Covers.
The two USB ports provide a 5.1A charging current and 25+ watts of power combined; the USB Type-C port provides faster charging.
A smart chip recognizes and optimizes individual device charging requirements.
The Leviton Type A/C USB Weather-Resistant Charger/Receptacle is weather-resistant and rated to provide additional corrosion and UV protection.
