The ELEKTROPLAST Sentia 1466-10 is a single hermetic socket engineered to provide reliable electrical connectivity in environments where moisture and dust are present. This wall-mounted unit is designed for durability and safety, featuring a robust construction that ensures long-term performance in residential, commercial, or industrial settings. Its clean white finish allows it to blend seamlessly into various interior and exterior wall surfaces.
Advantages
The primary benefit of this socket is its IP44 ingress protection rating, which effectively shields the internal electrical components from splashing water and solid objects. The inclusion of a transparent protective flap allows for easy visual inspection while maintaining a barrier against environmental factors. Furthermore, the integrated shutters provide an additional layer of safety by preventing accidental contact with live parts, making it a secure choice for households with children.

- Damp indoor areas such as bathrooms or laundry rooms
- Garages and workshops
- Covered outdoor spaces like patios or balconies
- Utility rooms and basements
When it may not be suitable
This socket is not intended for direct exposure to heavy rain, water jets, or submersion, as it is rated for IP44 protection only. It should not be installed in areas requiring higher ingress protection levels, such as industrial zones with high-pressure cleaning or extreme environmental conditions.

Ensure the plug is fully seated and the flap is closed properly after use to maintain the hermetic seal.
What to consider before purchase
- Verify that the installation surface is flat and suitable for wall mounting
- Ensure the electrical load of your devices does not exceed the 16A rating
- Check that the location is protected from direct water jets or heavy weather exposure
Usage recommendations
For optimal safety and longevity, always ensure the protective flap is fully closed when the socket is not in use. Periodically inspect the flap and housing for any signs of damage or wear that could compromise the IP44 seal.
