Kontakt-Simon Double 16 A 250 V~ Socket Outlet with Earth and Shutters, champagne matte is a dual-module mains socket designed for installation in modular switch systems. It accepts standard European plugs and features an earth contact and integrated child-protective shutters. The socket is intended for use on 16 A circuits and is built to allow fast back-wiring using screwless quick terminals, enabling a secure electrical connection while simplifying installation.

Advantages

The socket combines two power outlets in a single module, saving wall space and offering a uniform appearance in a champagne matte finish. Built-in earth contact ensures grounding for compatible plugs, and internal shutters reduce the risk of accidental contact by children. Screwless quick terminals provide tool-friendly, time-saving wiring and stable contact pressure for reliable operation over time.

Suitable for

• Domestic rooms such as living rooms, bedrooms, and kitchens for powering household appliances and devices
• Commercial interior spaces including offices, meeting rooms and retail areas requiring standard mains sockets
• Modular switchboard installations and renovation projects where a compact double outlet is required

When it may not be suitable

This double socket is designed for standard 16 A, 250 V~ circuits and is not suitable for high-current appliances that require dedicated higher-amperage outlets or special industrial connectors. It is intended for installation in compatible modular frames and will not fit non-modular or proprietary faceplate systems without appropriate adapters or mounting hardware.

Key specifications

• Number of outlets: 2
• Rated current: 16 A
• Rated voltage: 250 V~
• Protective feature: earth contact (ground)
• Safety feature: integrated child-protective shutters
• Wiring type: screwless quick terminals for fast back-wiring

How to use

Mount the module into a compatible modular switch frame according to local electrical regulations and ensure power is isolated before wiring. Insert conductors into the screwless quick terminals and secure them following the manufacturer’s wiring instructions; the terminals clamp the conductor without screws for a stable connection. After wiring, fix the module into the frame, attach the cover plate, and restore power. Test the socket with a suitable tester or a known-working appliance to confirm correct operation and earthing before regular use.

What to consider before purchase

• Ensure compatibility with the modular frame or faceplate system used at the installation site
• Confirm the building wiring provides a 16 A circuit and proper earthing
• Verify that the champagne matte finish matches the desired interior aesthetic
• Check national and local electrical codes for required installation practices

Usage recommendations

Use the double socket for general-purpose powering of lamps, chargers, computers and small kitchen appliances. Avoid connecting high-load devices such as electric ovens or industrial equipment to this 16 A outlet; provide dedicated outlets for those appliances. Periodically inspect the outlet for visible damage, ensure the shutters operate correctly, and have any electrical work performed by a qualified electrician.
