PCE industrial 4‑pole CEE socket 32A 6h 400V IP44 model 215-6

PCE industrial 4‑pole CEE socket 32A 6h 400V IP44 model 215-6 is a panel‑mount electrical connector engineered for three‑phase power distribution in professional environments. The unit accepts a 4‑pole plug providing line, neutral and earth connections for a reliable 32 A, 400 V supply. Its IP44-rated housing offers protection against solid objects over 1 mm and splashing water, making it suitable for environments where occasional moisture and dust are present.

Advantages

This industrial CEE socket delivers consistent current capacity at 32 amperes and is configured with a 6h pin arrangement to match standard three‑phase plugs. The panel‑mount design ensures secure installation in switchboards, equipment panels or distribution boxes, reducing the risk of accidental disconnection. The IP44 protection level balances ingress resistance with compact construction, allowing use in workshops, construction sites and temporary power installations where a fully weatherproof enclosure is not required.

Suitable for

• Three‑phase power distribution in workshops and industrial facilities
• Temporary power supply on construction sites and events
• Panel installation in machines, distribution boards and control cabinets
• Connections for portable equipment and power tools that require 32 A, 400 V

Key specifications

• Number of poles: 4 (three phases + earth)
• Rated current: 32 A
• Rated voltage: 400 V (three‑phase)
• Pin configuration/clock position: 6h
• Protection class: IP44 (protection against solid objects >1 mm and splashing water)
• Mounting type: panel‑mount
• Material: durable insulating housing suitable for industrial use

How to use

Install the socket into a suitably cut aperture in the panel or distribution enclosure and secure it according to the mounting instructions. Ensure incoming cables are of appropriate cross‑section and rated for 32 A operation, and that conductors are correctly connected to phase and earth terminals. Verify that the mating plug matches the 4‑pole, 6h 400 V configuration before energizing. After installation, perform a continuity and insulation check and confirm proper earthing to comply with local electrical safety regulations.

Usage recommendations

Use this PCE 4‑pole CEE socket in applications where a robust, panel‑mounted 32 A, 400 V connection is required but full weatherproofing is not necessary. Regularly inspect terminals and the housing for wear or damage, avoid direct high‑pressure water exposure, and replace the socket if mechanical deformation or corrosion is observed.
