Industrial fixed red socket Mennekes MEN1 16A 400V IP44

Mennekes MEN1 fixed red industrial socket rated 16A and 400V with IP44 protection. This fixed-mount red socket is designed for secure and stable electrical connections in workshops, temporary power installations and light industrial environments. The IP44 rating provides protection against splashing water and solid objects greater than 1 mm, while the red color helps identify phase/voltage at a glance. The design suits permanent mounting where a robust and compliant power outlet is required.

Advantages

The fixed mounting ensures a stable connection that resists accidental disconnection and mechanical stress. IP44 protection balances ingress resistance with ease of access for maintenance and use in environments with occasional splashes. The 16A/400V rating matches common industrial circuits for light machinery and portable equipment. The color-coded housing simplifies identification of phase and voltage during installation and maintenance.

Suitable for

• Workshops and machine shops requiring fixed power outlets
• Temporary power distribution on construction sites and events
• Light industrial environments with occasional exposure to splashes
• Installation where a permanent, secure socket is needed for portable equipment

Key specifications

• Rated current: 16 A
• Rated voltage: 400 V
• Ingress protection: IP44 (splash-resistant)
• Mounting type: fixed / flush-mount
• Color: red (phase/voltage identification)
• Application: industrial and temporary power connections

How to use

Install the socket on a stable surface or panel following local electrical codes and safety regulations. Ensure supply power is switched off before wiring. Connect conductors to the corresponding terminals, verifying correct phase, neutral and protective earth connections. Tighten terminal screws to the specified torque and secure the housing to prevent movement. After wiring, restore power and test the outlet with appropriate test equipment to confirm correct voltage, continuity and earthing.

Usage recommendations

Use in environments consistent with IP44 protection—avoid direct exposure to heavy water jets or prolonged immersion. Perform periodic visual inspections and retighten connections as part of scheduled maintenance. Select compatible plugs and cables rated for 16A/400V to maintain safe operation.
