How to Choose When selecting a Commando Socket, consider the voltage, current, and pin configuration required for your application. This product is a 220V, 16A, 3-pin connector, suitable for single-phase power requirements. While some industrial setups use 3-phase power, which typically involves connectors with more pins (e.g., 4 or 5), this 3-pin socket is for single-phase use. Ensure the IP rating matches the environmental conditions; IP44 offers good protection against splashes and dust ingress, but higher ratings are available for more demanding environments. Always verify the voltage and current rating of your equipment against the socket's specifications to ensure compatibility and safety.
