The 5UB2213-3 is the white DELTA miro double socket with integrated decorative frame — a complete, finished unit in one part number. It provides two 10/16A 250V Schuko outlets with traditional screw terminals, claw mounting, and increased touch protection. At 0.129kg, it is substantially heavier than the frameless 5UB2212 series (0.089kg) — the additional weight comes from the integrated frame structure that surrounds and finishes the socket face.

What does "with frame" mean in the 5UB2213 series?

In the 5UB2212 series, the socket body itself forms the visible faceplate — a single-piece 70×70mm unit. The 5UB2213 adds a separate decorative frame that surrounds the socket inserts, creating a more finished, architecturally framed appearance on the wall. The frame is integrated into the product — you order one part number and receive the complete assembly. This is distinct from DELTA i-system, where the frame and insert are separate SKUs that must be ordered individually.

5UB2213 vs 5UB2212 — when does the frame matter?

The frame adds visual presence. On a plain painted wall, a frameless 5UB2212 double socket sits flush and understated. The 5UB2213 with its integrated frame creates a defined border around the outlets — the visual equivalent of matting a photograph. In high-specification residential projects and architect-designed interiors, this framed look is often specified for consistency with framed switch ranges. The trade-off is weight (0.129kg vs 0.089kg) and a slightly deeper projection from the wall surface (the frame adds approximately 2-3mm of depth).

Why screw terminals on the 5UB2213-3?

The 5UB2213-3 pairs the framed format with traditional screw terminals — the connection method preferred by electricians for installations where long-term serviceability is a priority. The framed, heavier construction and screw terminals together position the 5UB2213-3 as the "install once, maintain for decades" option in the DELTA miro double socket range. For the plug-in terminal version, Siemens offers the 5UB2213-3KK.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the frame come pre-assembled or do I install it separately?

The frame is supplied as part of the complete product. During installation, the socket mechanism is fixed to the wall box first, and the frame clips or screws onto the mounted mechanism — the exact sequence depends on the specific frame design. The complete assembly is designed to be installed by one person with standard electrician's tools.

Is the 5UB2213-3 compatible with DELTA miro frames from other products?

No. The 5UB2213-3 includes its own dedicated frame that is specific to the double socket form factor. DELTA miro single-socket frames and switch frames are different dimensions and will not fit. If you need a coordinated look across sockets and switches in the same room, use DELTA miro products throughout — the finish language (white, aluminium metallic, carbon metallic, anthracite) is consistent across the range.
