ELEKTROPLAST Surface-Mounted Socket 2P+Z 16A 250V IP65 with PG-13 Cable Gland

The ELEKTROPLAST surface-mounted socket 2P+Z is a robust electrical solution engineered for reliable power distribution in demanding environments. Rated for 16A and 250V, this socket is built to withstand challenging conditions, ensuring a stable connection for your electrical devices. The unit features a high-quality housing with an IP65 ingress protection rating, providing complete defense against dust ingress and protection against water jets from any direction. The inclusion of a PG-13 cable gland ensures a secure and sealed cable entry, maintaining the integrity of the enclosure.

Advantages

This surface-mounted socket offers exceptional durability due to its specialized construction designed for harsh conditions. The IP65 rating makes it a superior choice for areas exposed to moisture, rain, or dust, where standard indoor sockets would fail. Its straightforward surface-mount design allows for quick and efficient installation on walls or structural surfaces without the need for deep wall recesses. The integrated PG-13 cable gland provides an additional layer of safety by preventing cable strain and ensuring a watertight seal at the point of entry.

Suitable for

• Industrial workshops and manufacturing facilities
• Garages and home workshops
• Outdoor areas such as patios or garden sheds
• Utility rooms and basements
• Construction sites requiring temporary or permanent power

This socket may not be suitable for environments requiring specialized industrial connectors or high-voltage systems exceeding 250V. It is also not intended for use in explosive atmospheres or areas where the housing might be subjected to extreme mechanical impact or chemical exposure not covered by standard IP65 ratings.

Key specifications

• Configuration: 2P+Z (Two-pole with grounding)
• Rated current: 16A
• Rated voltage: 250V
• Ingress protection: IP65
• Cable entry: PG-13 cable gland included
• Mounting type: Surface-mounted

To install the socket, ensure the power supply is disconnected at the main circuit breaker. Mount the base securely to a flat, stable surface using appropriate screws. Feed the power cable through the provided PG-13 cable gland, ensuring the seal is tightened correctly to maintain the IP65 rating. Connect the wires to the corresponding terminals according to local electrical regulations, ensuring the grounding wire is properly attached. Once wired, secure the cover to the base to complete the installation.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that your existing electrical system supports 16A and 250V requirements.
• Ensure the mounting surface is flat to allow the gasket to seal properly.
• Check the diameter of your cable to ensure it is compatible with the PG-13 gland.
• Confirm that the installation location complies with local safety standards for IP65 equipment.

For optimal performance and safety, always ensure the cable gland is tightened firmly to create a proper seal. Periodically inspect the housing and the cable entry point for any signs of wear or damage, especially in outdoor or high-moisture environments.
