Plug AWTools W-97977 2P+E Schuko 16A IP54 removable sealable housing black with red nuts

AWTools W-97977 is a 2-pole plus earth (Schuko) plug rated for 16 A, supplied with a removable, sealable housing that provides IP54 protection against dust and splashes. The unit has class insulation and a black outer casing with red fastening nuts. The removable housing enables wiring, inspection and secure sealing for applications where mechanical protection together with environmental resistance is required.

Advantages

The plug combines IP54 ingress protection with a sealable housing to prevent unauthorized access or accidental disassembly while maintaining the ability to open the enclosure for maintenance. Red fastening nuts offer clear visual identification of connection points. The rated 16 A current capacity and Schuko earthing contact make it compatible with standard grounded installations. The design supports reliable electrical contact and safe insulation for both indoor and sheltered outdoor environments.

Suitable for

• Temporary power connections on construction sites and workshops where splash and dust protection is needed
• Portable equipment requiring a sealed removable plug for periodic inspection or servicing
• Industrial or commercial environments with standard grounded sockets and 16 A circuits
• Situations requiring tamper-evident sealing of the plug housing

Key specifications

• Contact configuration: 2-pole plus earth (Schuko) compatible
• Current rating: 16 A
• Ingress protection: IP54 (protection against dust and splash water)
• Housing: removable and sealable for access and tamper evidence
• Insulation class: class insulation for basic electrical safety
• Color: black housing with red fastening nuts for visual identification

How to use

Before installation, ensure the circuit is de-energized. Open the removable housing by releasing the fastening nuts, route the supply conductors into the plug body, and secure conductors to the appropriate terminals following polarity and earthing conventions. After wiring, verify tight electrical contacts and correct insulation before reassembling the housing. Fit the housing cover and apply the sealing method recommended for the installation to achieve IP54 protection and tamper evidence.

Usage recommendations

Use the plug in dry or sheltered outdoor locations where IP54 is sufficient; avoid prolonged direct exposure to heavy rain or immersion. Confirm the connected equipment and wiring are rated for 16 A and use correct cable cross-sections and strain relief. Periodically inspect the sealing and fastening nuts for corrosion or loosening, and re-tighten or replace components as needed to maintain protection and safe contact.
