Mennekes Wall-Mounted Combination Socket 16A 2P+E 230V IP44 and 16A 5P 400V with Screwless Terminals

The Mennekes wall-mounted combination socket is a robust electrical distribution solution designed to provide both single-phase and three-phase power from a single unit. This device integrates a 16A 2P+E 230V socket alongside a 16A 5P 400V industrial socket, offering flexibility for various equipment needs. Engineered for durability and ease of use, the unit features high-quality housing and advanced screwless terminal technology, which significantly reduces installation time while maintaining a secure and reliable electrical connection.

Advantages

The primary benefit of this combination socket is its dual-functionality, allowing users to power both standard household appliances and heavy-duty industrial machinery from one location. The inclusion of screwless terminals eliminates the need for specialized tools during wiring, ensuring a faster and more consistent connection that resists vibration over time. With an IP44 rating, the enclosure provides effective protection against splashing water and solid foreign objects, making it a dependable choice for challenging operational environments.

Suitable for

• Workshops and garages requiring mixed power supply
• Construction sites needing temporary power distribution
• Industrial facilities and manufacturing plants
• Agricultural settings and outdoor utility areas

When it may not be suitable

This unit is not intended for use in environments requiring high-pressure water jet protection or total submersion, as it is rated IP44. It is also not suitable for hazardous areas where explosion-proof equipment is mandatory.

Key specifications

• Input voltage: 230V and 400V
• Current rating: 16A
• Configuration: 2P+E (single-phase) and 5P (three-phase)
• Protection class: IP44
• Connection type: Screwless terminals
• Mounting: Wall-mounted

How to use

Installation should be performed by a qualified electrician in accordance with local electrical regulations. The unit is designed for surface mounting on a flat, stable wall surface. After securing the housing, insert the stripped conductors into the designated screwless terminal ports until they are firmly locked in place. Ensure that the cable entry points are properly sealed to maintain the IP44 integrity of the enclosure before closing the cover.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that your existing electrical circuit can support the combined load of both sockets.
• Ensure the installation location is protected from direct, heavy water exposure.
• Check that the cable cross-sections are compatible with the screwless terminal specifications.

Usage recommendations

Regularly inspect the housing for physical damage and ensure that the cable glands remain tight to prevent moisture ingress. Periodically check the connections to ensure they remain secure, especially in environments subject to frequent vibration.
