Direct Plug-In Surge Protection
The Tripp Lite SK62USBC is a 6-outlet surge protector designed for 120V AC environments. It provides 490 joules of AC suppression and a 15 amp output amperage capacity. The unit features a NEMA 5-15P direct plug-in connection and includes two USB charging ports alongside the six NEMA 5-15R outlets. It suits users needing basic surge defence and device charging in a single compact housing.
490 Joule Rating and 15 Amp Limit
The suppressor handles up to 490 joules of surge energy before protection degrades. Its 15 amp output capacity matches standard North American branch circuits, so total connected draw must stay within that limit. The direct plug-in design means no cord extends to a wall outlet; the unit occupies the receptacle itself. This form factor requires a free wall socket and blocks adjacent receptacles on a standard duplex outlet.
Compact Black Housing with USB Ports
The black enclosure measures 7.0 in x 4.0 in x 3.0 in and integrates two USB ports for charging phones or tablets without separate adapters. Six AC outlets accept standard NEMA 5-15 plugs, though closely spaced transformers may interfere with neighbouring sockets. The direct plug-in mounting places the unit flush against the wall, saving desk space but limiting placement to the wall receptacle location.

Questions about this item
Should I pick the 490-joule model or look for a higher rating?
The 490-joule rating suits basic electronics such as routers, chargers and monitors; for expensive AV gear or gaming PCs a higher joule unit is preferable.
What does the 15-amp output capacity mean for my devices?
It allows up to 15 amps total across the six NEMA 5-15R outlets, so the combined draw of everything plugged in must stay below that limit.
How does the direct plug-in NEMA 5-15P design affect placement?
The unit plugs straight into a wall receptacle without a cord, so it needs a free outlet with enough clearance for its 7.0 in x 4.0 in x 3.0 in body.
