13A switched Sockets with USB, Do the USB sockets work when switches are off?

[w0z]

Hi
Are the USB sockets permanently powered irrespective of whether the switch is on?
Anyone done any power measurements on one when nothing is plugged into the usb?
Can they withstand insulation resistance tests? (if so up to what voltage?)

The (not so new now) USB3 standard is going to make them all redundant.

They're all compatible with usb 3, they can't not be - the USB plug/socket design hasn't changed.

Sorry. I meant to type USB-C
You’ll see a lot of that being introduced soon.
It’s smaller and predicted to replace the current USB standard.

By which time you'll be charging with wireless fairy dust...
