Legrand Niloe Step 863130 single electrical socket with earth, screw terminals, white

Legrand Niloe Step 863130 single electrical socket with earth in white is a grounded wall outlet designed for mains power distribution in residential and light commercial environments. The unit features screw terminal connections and a compact single-module form factor compatible with standard switch boxes and faceplates. It is intended for fixed installation where a reliable earth connection and traditional screw-terminal wiring are required.

Advantages

This single socket offers a grounded contact for safety and uses screw terminals that allow secure, mechanical connection of conductors without relying on push-fit mechanisms. The white finish provides a neutral aesthetic that integrates with most interior décors. The socket is manufactured by a recognised brand and built to standard dimensions suitable for common mounting boxes, making it straightforward to replace existing single outlets.

Suitable for (tasks / use cases)

• Replacing a single grounded wall socket in homes or apartments
• New installations in light commercial premises where a single outlet is required
• Situations where screw-terminal wiring is preferred for a secure connection
• Standard mains power distribution for appliances and household devices

When it may not be suitable

This product is a basic single grounded socket and does not include surge protection, USB ports, or built-in switches. It is not intended for use with specialised industrial equipment that requires higher current ratings or dedicated circuits. For installations requiring integrated safety devices or additional features, consider alternative socket types.

Key specifications

• Mounting: single-module wall socket compatible with standard back boxes
• Connection type: screw terminals for live, neutral and earth conductors
• Contact configuration: grounded (earth) contact
• Color/finish: white
• Intended use: mains voltage single outlet for residential and light commercial environments

How to use

Before installation, isolate the circuit at the consumer unit and verify absence of voltage. Remove the existing faceplate if replacing a socket, or prepare the mounting box for a new installation. Terminate live, neutral and earth conductors into the screw terminals, ensuring conductors are stripped to the recommended length and securely tightened. Refit the device into the mounting box and attach the decorative cover. After installation, restore power and test the socket for correct wiring and earth continuity using appropriate test equipment.

What to consider before purchase

• Compatibility with your existing mounting box depth and screw spacing
• Wire type and conductor cross-section suitable for screw terminal clamping
• Required certifications or standards for electrical installations in your region
• Whether additional features such as switched control, USB charging, or surge protection are needed

Usage recommendations

Use this socket for standard grounded power outlets in living areas and light commercial spaces. Ensure installation is carried out by a qualified person or following local electrical regulations. Regularly inspect the terminal screws for tightness after installation and test earth continuity as part of routine electrical safety checks.
