Leviton T5632-E USB Charger/Tamper-Resistant Duplex Receptacle, 15-Amp, 8-Pack, Black

I installed one of these since they were highly regarded, but I after plugging one of my devices in to charge and leaving it to charge for some time, I noticed that it was super hot and the lithium battery started bulging out of the casing so much that it created a permanent bulge. I immediately unplugged it and then checked the port using my  DROK USB 2.0 Digital Multimeter, Ammeter Voltmeter Capacitance & Watt Meter  and the port was outputting 8V (see first photo), which is way out of spec as it should be a nominal voltage of 5 V ± 5%, ie. it should not be more than 5.25V. At 8 V it is 5 V ± 60%! I checked both USB ports and they both were 8 V. The AC outlets were fine, as confirmed with a  Sperry Instruments GFI6302 GFCI Outlet Tester ). My iPhone 6 and iPad Air would not charge when plugged into the ports, so maybe they (thankfully) have circuitry to sense when the voltage is out of spec and then refuse to charge.So I went and installed another receptacle, and thankfully it outputs right at 5V (see second pic). The bad receptacle is going back, but I will periodically check the output voltage on the replacement ,since this experience has left me weary of the quality assurance done on this product.

I've been retrofitting the old-school duplex outlets in our house with both Leviton and Topgreener USB outlets, along with Leviton Decorated Plus commercial grade outlets.I can't say much more than what other reviewers wrote, so I'll touch on the differences between the two top sellers.Quality - Leviton gets the edge. They're both made in China, and both UL certified. Neither feels cheap, unlike the rebranded no-name-odd-wallplate outlets that are all over the place here. (I think the Topgreener is also a rebranded generic outlet, but it's not as ubiquitous as the oddball $12 outlets.} Still, the Leviton feels a little bit more polished and solid. Plug action is a bit smoother. It's not a rebranded generic outlet. It's a brand you know.Appearance - tie. The surface of the Leviton is smooth, but it projects a few millimeters from a standard Decora/decorator wallplate. Spacers or washers help a bit, as does using a Lutron Claro wallplate. The surface of the Topgreener is a bit rougher, but it sits flush with a standard wallplate.Accessories - Topgreener. It comes with both a standard decorator wallplate, and a nice clone of the otherwise pricey Lutron Claro wallplate. The Leviton doesn't have any added wallplates.Ease of installation - tie. Both allow traditional side wiring, and push-in screw-secured rear wiring, just like most commercial grade outlets.Charging power - I'll edit this is someone buys me a USB tester.Packaging . Topgreener. A simple cardboard box, with polished branding/graphics and a cellophane window. The Leviton comes in a clamshell/cardboard hybrid package that's not difficult to open, but you're still dealing with plastic.Neither hum or buzz. Neither can be wired for a half hot switched outlet. Neither have an indicator light. Both have instructions in readable English. (and, for the Leviton, Spanish and Fremch.).The verdict - a draw, really. If you don't mind paying a bit extra for wallplates, and don't mind that it takes some work to get the face flush, and are brand conscious, go with Leviton. If you're looking for bang for the buck, and you're using Lutron Claro wallplates (and draining your checking account in the process), Topgreener has the edge.

It worked fine for 9 months then one of the USB ports quit working, then this month, one month after the first USB quit working, the other side quit and it will no longer charge anything. Ive plugged several devices in with cords that work fine with other chargers and this receptacle will not charge anything. Its too bad because this is a very handy device.

So I got this thing to put in for the wife, it has vented sides to let heat get off the tiny xformer and rectifeir in it but the device so big it seemed sketchy to install in the single gang cut in box I had installed in the wall.. there is a cubic inch warning in the fine print of included CYOA docs, I want to say 23 ci but may be wrong

Charges my iPhone 6 Plus – seems faster than the charger it came with, which is consistent with the reports that Apple ships a 1A charger with the iPhones and this charger outputs 3.6A. The outlet does protrude beyond the faceplate about 1/8" but it doesn't bother me.The outlet that I replaced had 5 wires attached, 2 black, 2 white, and a ground (bare). On first glance it looked like this Leviton only had three screws (white, black, and ground), so for a couple minutes I was confused on how to wire this, but after reading up and looking at the wiring diagram, I saw that the white and black screw clamps on this Leviton accept two wires each.

This isn't exactly the most useful of plugs. Whenever I plug pretty much anything into an outlet, I am unable to use the USB ports to charge devices. Although having 2 USB charging ports might seem like a good idea, it would have been much better with only one oriented horizontally so you can plug things in and charge your phone at the same time.

So far, so good. I am an electrician and believe in brand name (although most of these are made overseas) when it comes to hardwired products. This receptacle was pretty snug on install, but they look good, charge our devices well (iOS and Android) and haven’t burned out yet (as ones purchased from Costco).Update Feb 28/20- USB ports charge iPhone better than other products I’ve used.

Ya lo había comprado antes, poco a poco he ido cambiando las tomas de corriente por éstos, no solo ofrecen la conveniencia de cargar directo con usb, cosa que cada vez es más común que un toma corriente convencional, sino que en efecto no te quita los dos contactos usuales, al final te quedas con 4 tomas de corriente, 2 usb y 2 de los normales.La carga usb es rápido, otro pro es que trae integrado el protector contra cambios de corriente, lo cual es una protección extra para nuestros aparatos.

Just a heads up, if you plan on plugging any type of transform into this plug, there’s a good chance it will partially cover the USB plugs making them useless. Also, make sure you have lots of room in the receptacle box, these receptacles are huge! The Alexa power source will cover a third of the USB plug.

Estos contactos son excelentes, me dejé llevar y compre varios para ponerlos en mi casa. No he tenido falla con ninguno y desde que los tienes en tus manos notas la calidad de los mismos, no como algunos de otras marcas que incluso los conectores USB dejan de servir o se rompen al poco tiempo. Recomiendo ampliamente comprar estos aunque salen más caros que muchos otros valen la pena porque garantiza su durabilidad, además de tener distintos agregados como reguladores internos por descargas lo cual te asegura que tus dispositivos conectados no se dañen, imagino que tampoco harán magia pero al menos protegen más que los comunes.Por último, recomendaría comprar un modelo más nuevo a este ya que esos creo que ya incluyen la modalidad QuickCharge que es muy útil para los celulares/dispositivos más actuales y cargan todo más rápido, de cualquier manera también estos cargarán cualquier dispositivo pero si pueden obtener el modelo más reciente lo aprovecharán más a futuro.
