The Leviton T5633-W replaces a standard outlet with one that adds two USB charging ports - one Type-A (2.4A) and one Type-C (3A, reversible) - in a single gang box space while keeping the standard 15-amp NEMA outlet slot for anything that needs a plug. The USB ports together deliver 25 watts and 5.1 amps for charging smartphones, tablets, and USB-powered devices without a wall adapter brick. The Type-C port accepts cables in either orientation. Tamper-resistant shutters on the standard outlet slots block foreign object insertion. Installs in place of any existing standard outlet in minutes - no hub, no Wi-Fi, no app. Wallplate sold separately.
What is the maximum charging speed on each USB port, and what devices can I charge?
The USB-A port supplies up to 2.4 amps and the USB-C port supplies up to 3.0 amps, with 25 watts and 5.1 amps available across the outlet's USB charging system. That is suitable for phones, tablets, e-readers, earbuds, battery packs, and most small USB-powered devices. It is designed for everyday charging rather than high-wattage laptop charging.
Can both USB ports charge devices at the same time at full speed?
Both ports can charge simultaneously, but they share a combined maximum output of 25 watts and 5.1 amps. In practice, that means two devices can charge at once without a separate power brick, but the exact speed depends on what each device requests and how the outlet allocates available power.
Does the standard outlet still work while the USB ports are in use?
Yes. The 15-amp receptacle operates independently from the built-in USB charger, so you can plug in a lamp, vacuum, or other standard appliance while both USB ports are charging devices.
Can this replace any standard outlet, and what does installation involve?
It is meant to replace a standard 15-amp 125-volt receptacle in a single-gang box using typical 14 or 12 AWG branch-circuit wiring. Shut off the breaker, confirm power is off, move the line wires to the new device, secure it in the box, and add a wallplate. If the existing box is crowded or wiring conditions are uncertain, an electrician should handle the swap.
What is the difference between the Type-C and Type-A USB ports, and which one should I use?
USB-C is the newer reversible connector, so the plug inserts either way and is used by many newer phones, tablets, and accessories. USB-A is the older rectangular USB format found on many legacy charging cables. Use whichever port matches your cable; if your device supports either, USB-C is typically the better long-term choice because newer devices are standardizing around it.
