Socket outlet Kontakt-Simon DGSZ1CZ.01/46 16A 250V Schuko Bronze IP20 Plastic

The Kontakt-Simon DGSZ1CZ.01/46 is a single Schuko socket outlet rated for 16 A and 250 V, finished in bronze with a plastic housing and IP20 protection. Intended for indoor installations, this grounded socket provides a standard mains connection for household appliances, lamps and general electrical devices in residential and light commercial environments. The design matches modular faceplates and wiring systems from the same manufacturer for straightforward integration into existing electrical circuits.

Advantages

This bronze Schuko socket offers a grounded connection compatible with European plug types and supports loads up to 16 A at 250 V. The plastic housing provides electrical insulation and a lightweight profile while the IP20 rating indicates protection against solid objects greater than 12 mm, making it suitable for typical indoor use. The neutral, matte bronze finish helps coordinate with interior finishes where a warm metallic tone is desired.

Suitable for

• Indoor residential rooms such as living rooms, bedrooms and kitchens (standard protected areas)
• Office spaces and light commercial interiors where IP20 protection is acceptable
• Integrations with Kontakt-Simon modular faceplates and in-wall wiring systems
• Powering household appliances, lamps, chargers and small electrical equipment

When it may not be suitable

This socket is not intended for outdoor use or for locations requiring higher ingress protection; the IP20 rating does not protect against water or fine dust. It is also not suitable for circuits requiring specialized outlets (e.g., higher current ratings, industrial connectors or splash/wet-area rated devices). For installations in bathrooms, outdoors, garages or industrial environments, choose a product with an appropriate IP rating and safety approvals.

How to use

Install the socket into a compatible mounting box following local electrical codes and the manufacturer’s wiring diagram. Ensure power is switched off at the breaker before connecting live, neutral and protective earth conductors. After secure connection and tightening of terminals, fix the unit to the box and attach the faceplate. Restore power and test the outlet with a suitable tester to confirm correct grounding and polarity before regular use.

What to consider before purchase

• Confirm that a 16 A, 250 V Schuko outlet meets the power requirements of devices to be connected
• Verify compatibility with existing mounting boxes and Kontakt-Simon faceplates
• Ensure indoor location and absence of moisture exposure (IP20 is not water-resistant)
• Check local electrical regulations and, if necessary, consult a qualified electrician for installation

Usage recommendations

Use this Kontakt-Simon Schuko socket for standard indoor applications where a grounded 16 A outlet is required. Avoid using in damp or exposed environments and ensure proper earthing and secure terminal connections during installation. For heavy-duty appliances or outdoor locations select a device with higher current rating or greater ingress protection.
