Socket outlet triple with SCHUKO, Kontakt-Simon AQGSZ1-3/11A, IP54, 250 V, White

Kontakt-Simon AQGSZ1-3/11A is a triple SCHUKO socket outlet in a white plastic housing rated for 250 V and protected to IP54. The unit provides three grounded outlets with a splash-proof design and a transparent cover flap, intended for installations where basic protection against dust and water splashes is required, such as sheltered outdoor locations, garages, or damp indoor areas. The plastic enclosure keeps the device lightweight while the cover flap helps maintain access protection when not in active use.

Advantages

The AQGSZ1-3/11A combines three SCHUKO sockets in a single compact module that simplifies wiring and saves wall space compared with separate outlets. Its IP54 rating and transparent cover flap offer reliable protection against dust ingress and water splashes, allowing safer use in humid or exposed environments. The white plastic housing is resistant to corrosion and suitable for typical residential and light commercial settings, and the grounded SCHUKO contacts provide standard safety for connected devices.

Suitable for

• Outdoor sheltered electrical points such as balconies and porches (protected from direct rain)
• Garages, workshops, and utility rooms with occasional exposure to splashes
• Residential and light commercial installations requiring three grounded outlets in one module
• Temporary power distribution where a compact, protected triple socket is needed

When it may not be suitable

The AQGSZ1-3/11A provides protection to IP54, which covers limited dust ingress and protection against water splashes, but it is not rated for continuous water jets, immersion, or fully exposed outdoor locations. It is also not a replacement for weatherproof enclosures required in harsh outdoor environments or industrial sites with heavy contamination. For high-current or specialized outlets, devices with different socket types or higher current ratings should be chosen.

Key specifications

• Number of outlets: 3 grounded SCHUKO sockets
• Rated voltage: 250 V AC
• Ingress protection: IP54 (splash-proof, limited dust protection)
• Housing material: plastic
• Color: white

How to use

Install the AQGSZ1-3/11A in accordance with local electrical regulations and by a qualified electrician. Mount the unit on a suitable surface or flush box, connect live, neutral and earth conductors to the corresponding terminals, and secure the transparent cover flap to protect the sockets when not in use. Ensure that supply power is switched off before wiring. Use the cover flap to reduce exposure to moisture and dirt; it should be closed when sockets are not in use and opened only to insert or remove plugs.

What to consider before purchase

• Confirm the installation location is compatible with an IP54 rated device (sheltered from direct heavy rain and not submersible)
• Verify the existing electrical supply is 250 V and wiring supports grounded SCHUKO outlets
• Ensure the mechanical mounting dimensions and enclosure type match your intended installation method
• Consider if higher ingress protection or different socket types are required for your application

Usage recommendations

Use the AQGSZ1-3/11A for sheltered outdoor or damp indoor power needs where three grounded SCHUKO outlets in a single, splash-proof module are convenient. Regularly check the cover flap and seals for wear, and avoid exposing the unit to direct jets of water or immersion to maintain its IP54 protection level.
