Legrand Niloe Step electrical socket 2P+Z with screw terminals, no shutter — black (model 863530B)

Legrand Niloe Step electrical socket 2P+Z with screw terminals in black is a fixed mains outlet intended for standard two-pole plus earth installations. The model provides a grounded connection (protective earth) and uses screw-type terminals for conductor attachment. It does not include a safety shutter, offering a straightforward contact area for devices and plugs. The black finish integrates with darker décor and contemporary electrical fittings.

Advantages

This Niloe Step socket provides a robust and reliable electrical connection through screw terminals that allow secure tightening of conductors. The two-pole plus earth configuration suits installations requiring a protective grounding conductor. The absence of an internal shutter simplifies the internal mechanism, reducing moving parts and facilitating straightforward wiring and testing. The black aesthetic offers a low-profile appearance for modern interiors and professional installations.

Suitable for

• Residential wall outlets where a grounded connection is required
• Commercial or office environments with standard mains plugs
• Electrical installations that prefer screw terminal connections for secure wiring
• Renovations or new builds with matching black switchplate finishes

When it may not be suitable

This socket is not suitable where a shuttered outlet is required by local regulations or where child protection through shutter mechanisms is desired. It is also not intended for use with specialized sockets that incorporate additional features such as integrated surge protection, USB charging ports, or specialized locking mechanisms.

Key specifications

• Contact configuration: two poles plus protective earth (2P+Z)
• Terminal type: screw terminals for conductor connection
• Finish: black
• Mounting: fixed wall/socket box installation
• Safety features: no internal shutter

How to use

Install the socket into a compatible flush-mounted electrical box following applicable wiring rules and power off the circuit before work. Connect the live, neutral and earth conductors to the corresponding screw terminals, ensuring solid conductor contact and correct torque on terminal screws. After wiring, secure the device to the box, attach the cover plate, and restore power. Verify correct operation and earth continuity with appropriate testing tools before regular use.

What to consider before purchase

• Confirm local electrical regulations regarding required safety shutters or child protection
• Ensure compatibility with existing switchplates and mounting boxes
• Verify conductor sizes accepted by screw terminals and required installation torque
• Assess whether additional features (surge protection, USB ports) are needed

Usage recommendations

Use this Niloe Step 2P+Z socket in standard grounded installations where a durable screw-terminal connection and a black aesthetic are required. Always have installation and testing performed by a qualified electrician and follow applicable safety standards.
