Bolt Connection

The Bolt is a cleverly designed electrical outlet for USB devices. It prevents overload by informing the user of the electrical capacity available for consumption. It also eliminates all danger that outlets pose towards children. Its associated components are molded from recycled PVC plastic.

Bolt USB Outlet is a 2013 iF Design award – concept design entry.
