Power Outlet Socket Bettermann M45 double with earth/neutral 16A red (MPN 6120324)

Double power outlet socket Bettermann M45 in red is a compact M45-format panel-mounted socket providing two 16 A protected supply points with earth and neutral connections. Designed for installation in control panels, enclosures and industrial housings, this model delivers space-saving, color-coded power distribution where two separate outputs are needed within a single cut-out. The red housing makes circuit identification and safety marking straightforward in multi-circuit installations.

Advantages

The Bettermann M45 double socket combines two independent 16 A outlets into one M45 mounting footprint, reducing the number of panel cut-outs and installation time. Built for industrial and commercial environments, it features earth and neutral contacts for safe operation and compatibility with standard 16 A equipment. The red color provides clear visual identification for dedicated circuits or emergency power lines, and the robust construction ensures reliable mechanical and electrical performance in rack, cabinet or wall-mounted panels.

Suitable for

• Panel or enclosure mounting in industrial control cabinets
• Power distribution for testing benches and production lines
• Commercial installations requiring color-coded 16 A outlets
• Retrofit projects where space-saving M45 format is required

How to use

Install the double M45 socket into a compatible M45 cut-out in a control panel or enclosure, securing it according to the panel manufacturer's or Bettermann's installation guidelines. Connect supply conductors to the designated live, neutral and earth terminals, ensuring secure torque on terminal screws and correct conductor sizing for 16 A operation. After wiring, verify continuity and proper earthing before energizing the circuit. Use appropriate overcurrent protection (breaker or fuse) rated for the connected loads.

Usage recommendations

For reliable long-term performance, use this red double 16 A socket in panels with matching M45 cut-outs and install protective devices sized for the connected equipment. Periodically inspect terminals for tightness and signs of wear, and ensure the red color is used consistently for the intended circuit identification across the installation.
