PCE 1152-6P Surface Mounted Socket 16A 5-Pin 400V IP67

The PCE 1152-6P is a robust industrial surface-mounted socket engineered for demanding electrical installations where reliability and safety are paramount. Designed to handle a 16A current and 400V voltage, this 5-pin (3P+N+E) socket provides a stable power connection for heavy-duty machinery and professional equipment. Its construction features high-grade materials that ensure durability against mechanical stress and environmental factors, making it a dependable choice for fixed power distribution systems.

Advantages

This socket offers exceptional protection against moisture and dust thanks to its IP67 ingress protection rating, allowing it to function reliably even in wet or harsh conditions. The inclusion of an integrated cable gland simplifies the installation process while ensuring a watertight seal around the cable entry point. Its ergonomic design facilitates easy mounting on flat surfaces, and the standardized pin configuration ensures compatibility with industrial plugs, minimizing downtime during equipment connection or maintenance.

Suitable for

• Industrial manufacturing facilities
• Construction sites and temporary power setups
• Outdoor electrical installations
• Workshops and professional garages
• Agricultural equipment power supply

When it may not be suitable

This socket is not intended for standard residential indoor use where lower-rated, non-industrial plugs are required. It is also not suitable for environments requiring specialized explosion-proof ratings or for applications exceeding its 16A current capacity.

Key specifications

• Current rating: 16A
• Voltage: 400V
• Configuration: 5-pin (3P+N+E)
• Ingress protection: IP67
• Mounting type: Surface mounted
• Integrated cable gland included

How to use

Installation should be performed by a qualified electrician in accordance with local electrical codes. Begin by securing the socket housing to a stable, flat surface using appropriate fasteners. Feed the power cable through the integrated cable gland, ensuring the seal is tightened sufficiently to maintain the IP67 rating. Connect the phase, neutral, and earth conductors to the corresponding terminals inside the socket. Once wired, secure the cover to ensure the housing is fully sealed before energizing the circuit.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that your power supply matches the 400V 3-phase requirement.
• Ensure the 16A rating is sufficient for your connected equipment.
• Check the cable diameter to ensure compatibility with the integrated gland.
• Confirm the mounting surface is suitable for a surface-mounted unit.

Usage recommendations

Always inspect the socket and cable gland for signs of wear or damage before each use, especially in outdoor or high-moisture environments, to maintain the integrity of the IP67 protection.
