CEE connector AS Schwabe 61425 — 5-pin 400V, IP44, red

CEE connector AS Schwabe 61425 — 5-pin 400V, IP44, red is a five-pole industrial plug for three-phase power systems. It provides connections for three live conductors, neutral and earth and is designed for temporary power distribution in workshops, construction sites and outdoor events. The red, splash-protected housing and ergonomic grip ensure straightforward handling and visible identification in multi-cable setups.

Advantages

The connector features IP44 protection against splashes and solid objects, enabling safe use in damp or dusty conditions. Its five-pin configuration supports three-phase 400 V supplies with a dedicated neutral and earth contact for secure and compliant connections. The robust polymer housing resists mechanical stress and impacts typical of industrial environments while the color-coding simplifies identification and reduces wiring errors. Contacts are designed for reliable electrical contact and low contact resistance under repeated connection cycles.

Suitable for

• Temporary power distribution on construction sites
• Workshop machinery and portable equipment
• Outdoor events, stage and lighting installations
• Generators and site power panels
• Maintenance and service tasks requiring three-phase supply

Key specifications

• Pin configuration: 5 pins — three phases, neutral, protective earth
• Rated voltage: 400 V
• Protection rating: IP44 (splash-proof, protection against solid objects >1 mm)
• Housing: impact-resistant polymer, red color for phase coding
• Connection type: cable-mounted industrial plug for temporary connections
• Contact material: corrosion-resistant metal contacts for low resistance

How to use

Before installation, ensure the supply is switched off and verify compatibility with the intended circuit. Strip the cable to the required length, insert conductors into the corresponding terminals for L1, L2, L3, N and earth, and tighten terminal screws to the recommended torque. Assemble the housing and secure any cable gland to maintain IP44 protection. After assembly, perform a visual inspection and measure continuity and insulation where applicable. Connect the plug to a compatible CEE socket only when the supply is off, then switch on the circuit and verify correct operation.

Usage recommendations

Use the connector only for temporary connections and within the specified voltage and environmental limits. Regularly inspect contacts and housing for wear, dirt or corrosion; replace the connector if mechanical damage or compromised protection is detected. Ensure cable cross-section and terminal torque meet the load requirements and follow local electrical codes and safety standards during installation and operation.
