Electrical double compact socket with grounding, transparent flap and phase shutters, IP44 — Kontakt‑Simon ACGZ2Z/49A (black)

Kontakt‑Simon ACGZ2Z/49A is a compact double electrical socket with grounding, transparent protective flaps and integrated phase shutters, rated to IP44. The black finish provides a discreet look while the construction ensures safe use in locations where splash protection and basic weather resistance are required. Two grounded outlets are grouped in a single module for space-efficient installation in residential, commercial or sheltered outdoor settings.

Advantages

The socket combines IP44 splash protection with protective transparent flaps that keep contacts covered when not in use, reducing moisture and debris ingress. Integrated phase shutters increase user safety by preventing accidental contact with live parts. The compact, dual-outlet design simplifies installation into a single mounting point. The grounding contact provides earthing for compatible plugs to enhance electrical safety.

Suitable for

• Outdoor protected areas such as covered terraces and balconies
• Bathrooms and utility rooms where splash protection is needed
• Workshops and commercial premises with moderate exposure to moisture
• Residential installations requiring a compact double grounded outlet

Key specifications

• Protection rating: IP44 (protection against splashing water)
• Configuration: double socket with two grounded outlets
• Safety features: transparent protective flaps and integrated phase shutters
• Finish and colour: black housing and flap
• Form factor: compact, single-module design for standard mounting

How to use

Install the socket following applicable local electrical codes and with power disconnected. Mount the unit into a compatible enclosure or mounting box, secure wiring to the terminal connections and ensure the grounding conductor is correctly connected to the grounding terminal. After installation, close the transparent flaps when outlets are not in use to maintain IP44 protection. Insert plugs fully to engage grounding and allow the phase shutters to operate correctly.

Usage recommendations

Use the socket in covered outdoor or damp locations only—avoid direct exposure to heavy rain or prolonged immersion. Regularly inspect the protective flaps and shutters for damage, clean with a dry or slightly damp cloth, and do not use harsh solvents. For installations in highly exposed outdoor environments or where higher ingress protection is required, select products rated for greater protection.
