Socket outlet Karlik 12DGG-3 — banana socket, IP20 protection

Karlik 12DGG-3 is a wall-mounted socket outlet featuring a banana-type contact designed for connecting audio, testing or laboratory equipment. The unit provides a single banana socket contact in a compact module compatible with standard wall installation systems and is intended for indoor use where IP20 protection against solid objects is sufficient. DECO mechanisms and frames are sold separately; the socket is delivered as the functional insert for installation in suitable frames.

Advantages

The banana socket design ensures reliable single-contact connections for measurement leads, speaker cables and test probes, offering stable contact and ease of insertion and removal. Compact dimensions and compatibility with common wall-mount frames simplify integration into existing installations. The IP20 rating indicates protection against contact with fingers and similar-sized objects, making the outlet suitable for dry indoor environments such as labs, studios and technical rooms.

How to use

Install the Karlik banana socket into a compatible wall frame and secure according to the frame manufacturer’s instructions.
