What It Is This is an industrial plug socket designed for power cables, rated at 16A and 240V. It is a 2P+E type, meaning it has two poles and an earth connection. This socket is weatherproof with an IP44 rating, offering protection against solid objects larger than 1mm and splashes of water from any direction. It is compatible with European specifications for industrial connectors, ensuring suitability for various power applications within that standard. Key Uses & Applications This 16A 240V 2P+E industrial socket is ideal for connecting power cables in environments where a weatherproof IP44 rating is required. It is commonly referred to as a commando socket due to its robust design. It is suitable for single-phase power applications, where two live conductors and an earth are needed. For applications requiring three-phase power, a different connector with more poles would be necessary, as three-phase systems distribute power over three live conductors. How to Choose When selecting an industrial socket, ensure the voltage (240V), current rating (16A), and pole configuration (2P+E) match your power cable and equipment requirements. The IP44 weatherproof rating indicates suitability for outdoor or damp conditions, protecting against splashes and solid objects. For applications requiring three-phase power, which uses three live wires for higher power delivery, look for sockets with a 3P+N+E configuration, where N signifies a neutral connection, if required. This product is for 2P+E, single-phase use.
