The FAMATEL 23606F is a high-quality surface-mounted industrial socket engineered for reliable power distribution in professional settings. This 16A, 5-pole unit is designed to operate at 400V, providing a stable connection for heavy-duty electrical equipment. Its robust construction and IP54 ingress protection rating ensure that the internal components remain shielded from dust accumulation and water splashes, making it a dependable choice for challenging operational environments.

Advantages

This industrial socket offers exceptional durability due to its impact-resistant housing, which is built to withstand the rigors of daily use in industrial or construction zones. The inclusion of an earthing pin provides an essential safety feature, ensuring proper grounding for connected machinery and reducing the risk of electrical faults. Its surface-mounted design allows for straightforward installation on walls or panels, facilitating efficient cable management and accessibility in busy workspaces.

Suitable for

• Industrial machinery and production lines
• Construction sites and temporary power installations
• Workshop equipment and power tools
• Agricultural facilities requiring moisture-resistant connections

When it may not be suitable

This socket is not intended for residential indoor use where standard household outlets are required. It is also not suitable for environments requiring full submersion or high-pressure water jets, as the IP54 rating only provides protection against splashing water.

Key specifications

• Current rating: 16A
• Voltage: 400V
• Configuration: 5-pole
• Protection rating: IP54
• Mounting type: Surface-mounted
• Safety feature: Integrated earthing pin

How to use

Installation should be performed by a qualified electrician in accordance with local electrical regulations. The socket is designed for surface mounting, requiring secure attachment to a flat, stable surface using appropriate fasteners. Ensure that the power supply is disconnected before beginning the wiring process. Connect the phase, neutral, and earth conductors to the corresponding terminals inside the housing, ensuring all connections are tightened securely. Once wired, seal the housing properly to maintain the IP54 protection rating against environmental elements.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that the voltage and amperage requirements of your equipment match the 16A 400V specifications.
• Ensure the installation surface is suitable for a surface-mounted device.
• Check that the IP54 rating is sufficient for your specific environmental conditions.

Usage recommendations: Regularly inspect the socket housing and cable glands for signs of wear or damage to maintain the integrity of the IP54 seal. Keep the socket free from excessive dust or debris to ensure optimal electrical contact.
