What It Is
This is an industrial commando socket, also known as an industrial plug and socket. It is designed for wall mounting and offers IP44 water resistance, making it suitable for demanding environments. Available in 16A and 32A current ratings, it supports 3-PIN, 4-PIN, and 5-PIN configurations. It adheres to the EU standard for industrial connectors. This product does not include a battery and has no wireless functionality.
Key Uses & Applications
This wall-mount commando socket is ideal for connecting power in industrial settings where a robust and water-resistant connection is needed. Its IP44 rating ensures protection against splashes. Common applications include workshops, construction sites, and agricultural settings where reliable power delivery is crucial. The range of pin configurations (3, 4, 5 pin) allows for use with various single-phase and three-phase power systems, offering versatility for different equipment.
How to Choose
When selecting a commando socket, first determine the required current rating, either 16A or 32A, to match your equipment's power demands. Next, identify the correct pin configuration; 3-PIN is typically for single-phase power, while 4-PIN and 5-PIN are used for three-phase power, which provides more consistent power for heavy-duty machinery. Ensure the IP44 water resistance meets the environmental conditions of your installation. This wall-mount design is fixed, so consider the permanent location carefully.
