Switched receptacles

[pjones]

Has anyone seen any 15 amp recepticals that have an on/off switch incorporated into them similar to what they have in Australia and some other parts of the world? I’m looking for some to be installed in a kitchen but haven’t found anything designed for 110V.

Catalogue #s cost extra.

Sorry. The above pics are from Home Depot's web site.

Those switches don't operate the receptacle, at least what I've used don't. It's a receptacle AND a switch. The way I read the OP, he wanted them to switch the receptacle, I could be wrong.

I think they can be wired to do so by breaking out the ‘tab’ on common hot side.

Or by putting the hot on the other side of the switch.

I didn't realize they had tabs.

There is a breakable tab connecting one terminal of the switch to the receptacle line terminal. If you land your incoming hot on the other switch terminal, the switch will control the receptacle through the unbroken tab.

Even if they didn't, a jumper would do the same thing.

Don't be trying to confuse me with logic and facts!

I was looking for something like this but designed to meet Canadian standards...

Im having a hard time uploading a picture so hopefully this works.

It has a small single switch for each outlet. Without utilizing one of the outlet spots for that switch.

Yeah, I would like to have a couple switched outlets like this in my kitchen and shop, I don’t see them being banned in Canada, unless I’m missing something, but I can’t find them in a 110V configuration like that.
