When it may not be suitable

This socket is not intended for outdoor environments exposed to direct rain or extreme weather conditions, as its IP44 rating only provides protection against splashing water. It is also not suitable for high-voltage industrial machinery that requires specialized connectors beyond the standard 16A, 400V specification.

Key specifications

• Number of poles: 5
• Rated current: 16 A
• Rated voltage: 400 V
• Grounding: Yes
• Protection rating: IP44
• Color: White and red

How to use

Installation should be performed by a qualified electrician to ensure compliance with local electrical codes and safety regulations. Begin by ensuring the power supply is completely disconnected at the main circuit breaker. Prepare the wiring according to the socket's terminal requirements, ensuring that the grounding wire is securely connected to the designated terminal. Once the wires are properly inserted and tightened, mount the socket housing to the wall or surface using appropriate hardware. Verify all connections before restoring power to the circuit.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that your electrical system supports a 400V, 16A connection.
• Ensure the 5-pole configuration matches your existing wiring setup.
• Confirm that the IP44 rating is sufficient for your intended installation environment.
• Check the mounting dimensions to ensure compatibility with your wall box or surface.

Usage recommendations

For optimal safety and longevity, inspect the socket periodically for signs of wear or loose connections. Avoid exceeding the rated 16A current capacity to prevent overheating and potential damage to the electrical system.
