PCE fixed socket 32A 3P 230V blue IP44 small enclosure model 123-6k

The PCE fixed socket 32A 3P 230V blue IP44 small enclosure model 123-6k is a compact industrial power inlet designed for fixed installations that require a reliable three-pole 32 amp supply at 230 volts. The small blue housing provides splash protection with an IP44 rating and is built for mounting where space is limited. This fixed socket is intended for use in workshops, on construction sites and in temporary power installations where a robust connection and straightforward wiring are needed.

Advantages

The product combines a 32A three-pole contact configuration with a compact form factor to save space while providing the current capacity needed for medium-power tools and equipment. The IP44 protection level guards against splashes and solid objects greater than 1 mm, reducing the risk of moisture-related faults in typical indoor and sheltered outdoor environments. The standardized 230V 3P interface enables compatibility with common industrial and construction power systems, and the fixed design supports secure, permanent mounting for reliable long-term operation.

Suitable for

• Fixed power supply points in workshops and industrial halls
• Temporary installations and site distribution on construction sites
• Connection of medium-power machinery, portable distribution boxes and power tools
• Areas with occasional splashing or dust where IP44 protection is sufficient

Key specifications

• Current rating: 32 A
• Poles: 3-pole configuration
• Voltage: 230 V
• Enclosure: small, blue housing designed for fixed mounting
• Protection class: IP44 (splash and protection against solid objects >1 mm)
• Intended mounting: fixed installation

How to use

Mount the fixed socket on a stable surface using appropriate fasteners for the mounting substrate, ensuring the enclosure is securely anchored. Route and prepare the supply cable in accordance with local electrical regulations, then connect conductors to the corresponding terminals for the three poles and protective earth. Verify tightness of terminal connections and correct polarity before energizing. Close the housing and ensure seals are intact to maintain IP44 protection. Perform a final check with appropriate test equipment to confirm continuity, correct wiring and absence of short circuits before the socket is put into service.

Usage recommendations

Use the socket in environments matching IP44 protection — sheltered outdoor areas or indoor locations with occasional moisture or dust. Do not expose the enclosure to direct water jets or immerse it. Follow local electrical codes for cable sizing and protective devices; ensure overcurrent protection and earthing are appropriate for the connected load. Periodically inspect the housing, seals and terminals for wear or corrosion and tighten connections as part of routine maintenance.
