The Leviton B097YW3VSM is a mechanical-digital hybrid power component. Technical specifications indicate a 15A AC pass-through and a 25W-30W aggregate USB output managed by a Power Delivery (PD) controller chipset. Material analysis reveals a high-tolerance latching mechanism and 105°C rated capacitors, which provide an extended Mean Time Between Failure (MTBF) compared to standard 85°C rated components.
Performance metrics demonstrate advanced filtering to prevent "ghost touches" on sensitive touchscreen devices during charging cycles. The unit occupies approximately 80% of a standard single-gang junction box volume, necessitating a minimum 2.5-inch mounting depth. Internal thermistors provide thermal gating to reduce DC output during excessive heat detection.
If GFCI protection is required for wet-location installation, the Leviton G5USB model integrates the same high-quality DC stage with ground-fault safety circuits.
This hardware serves as a critical infrastructure element in the smart power hierarchy, prioritizing electrical purity.
