PCE fixed socket 32A 400V 3P+Z+N IP67 model 1252-6 (without cable gland)

PCE fixed socket 32A 400V 3P+Z+N IP67 model 1252-6 is a permanently mounted industrial power inlet designed for reliable distribution of three-phase electrical power with earth and neutral. The unit is rated for 32 amps at 400 volts and provides full IP67 protection, making it suitable for dusty environments and for resistance to temporary immersion. The product is supplied without a cable gland to allow selection of the appropriate gland for cable diameter and application requirements.

Advantages

This fixed industrial socket offers robust mechanical construction and a protection class of IP67, ensuring dust-tight performance and water ingress protection up to temporary immersion. The configuration supports 3 phases plus earth and neutral (3P+Z+N) for standard three-phase installations. Designed for permanent installation, it simplifies wiring and provides a secure mating interface for compatible plugs. Supplied without a cable gland, it allows flexibility to choose the correct sealing solution for the installation environment and cable size.

Suitable for

• Permanent three-phase power distribution on industrial sites and production facilities
• Outdoor and temporary power connections at construction sites
• Workshops, warehouses, and agricultural equipment requiring 32A/400V connections
• Environments where IP67 ingress protection is needed for dust and temporary immersion resistance

When it may not be suitable

This model is not suitable if an integrated cable gland is required for immediate connection; a separate gland must be selected to match the cable diameter and strain-relief needs. It is intended for permanent mounting and is not designed as a portable or hand-held connector option.

Key specifications

• Rated current: 32 A
• Rated voltage: 400 V
• Contact configuration: 3 phases + earth + neutral (3P+Z+N)
• Protection level: IP67 (dust-tight, temporary immersion resistant)
• Mounting type: fixed / flush or surface permanent installation
• Material: durable industrial-grade housing (plastic/thermoplastic typical for the model)
• Supply condition: delivered without cable gland

How to use

Mount the fixed socket on a suitable panel or wall using the provided fixing points and ensure the mounting surface is stable and accessible. Select an appropriate cable gland that matches the cable outer diameter and provides the required sealing and strain relief, then install the gland in the provided opening. Perform electrical wiring according to local regulations and the socket's terminal markings, connecting the three phase conductors, earth, and neutral in the correct order. After wiring, verify tightness of connections, fit the mating plug when required, and test power delivery under no-load conditions before regular use. Ensure protective covers are closed when the socket is unused to maintain IP67 protection.

What to consider before purchase

• Confirm that 32A and 400V ratings match your load and distribution system requirements
• Measure the cable outer diameter and select a compatible cable gland (not included)
• Check compatibility with the mating plug type and mounting arrangement at the installation site
• Ensure local electrical codes and grounding practices are followed during installation

Usage recommendations

Use an appropriately rated cable gland and a matching IP67-rated plug to preserve the enclosure protection; perform periodic inspections of connections and seals, especially in outdoor or harsh environments, and replace the gland or seals if damaged.
