Socket-outlet Ospel GPH-1GZ/m/27/d IP44 16 A, 71×71×41 mm

Ospel GPH-1GZ/m/27/d is a single socket outlet designed for standard electrical installations requiring a 16 A, 250 V supply. With IP44 rating and compact dimensions of 71×71×41 mm, this unit protects against splashes and ingress of solid objects greater than 1 mm, making it suitable for protected indoor and semi-outdoor environments. The socket uses screw terminals for secure conductor connection and is intended for fixed installation within typical residential, commercial or light industrial circuits.

Advantages

The device combines a compact footprint with an IP44 protective rating, offering splash and dust resistance without occupying significant wall space. Screw terminal connections provide a reliable mechanical and electrical contact for copper conductors used in mains wiring. Rated at 16 A and 250 V, the socket supports common household and light commercial loads up to the specified current and power limits. Its simple construction facilitates straightforward installation and maintenance while meeting basic protection requirements for damp or partially exposed locations.

Suitable for

• General indoor power outlets in homes and apartments
• Workshops or utility rooms with occasional moisture exposure
• Semi-outdoor covered areas such as porches or garages
• Commercial premises requiring standard single-phase 16 A sockets

How to use

Install the socket outlet into a suitable flush or surface-mounted box following local electrical codes and safety standards. Ensure the supply is switched off at the circuit breaker before making connections. Strip conductors to the recommended length, insert into the screw terminals and tighten to the manufacturer’s torque recommendations for a secure connection. After wiring, test the outlet for correct polarity and earth continuity before restoring power and connecting appliances. The IP44 rating requires the unit be mounted in a protected location; avoid direct exposure to heavy rain or submersion.

Usage recommendations

Use this 16 A socket for appliances and equipment within its rated current and power limits; avoid prolonged overloads. For installations in persistently wet or exposed outdoor locations choose a higher IP-rated enclosure. Periodically check terminal tightness and the condition of the outlet cover to maintain safe operation.
