PCE panel-mount socket 16A 400V 3P+Z+N 75x75mm IP44 model 315-6F7

PCE panel-mount socket 16A 400V 3P+Z+N 75x75mm IP44 model 315-6F7 is a compact industrial panel inlet designed for fixed installation in control panels, machinery housings and service cabinets. It provides a 3-phase connection with earth and neutral (3P+Z+N) at 16 A and 400 V, and is intended for a rectangular cutout measuring 75 x 75 mm. The housing and contact arrangement deliver IP44 protection against solid objects over 1 mm and splashing water, making it suitable for indoor and sheltered outdoor applications where basic ingress protection is required.

Advantages

The device offers a standardized 3P+Z+N configuration that simplifies wiring for three-phase equipment while including earth and neutral contacts for safe operation. Its compact panel-mount format allows integration into control and distribution panels with a 75 x 75 mm cutout, saving space compared with larger inlets. IP44-rated protection reduces the risk of damage from dust and splashes, and the robust construction supports repeated mating cycles in industrial and commercial environments.

Suitable for

• Fixed installation in control panels and machine enclosures
• Temporary power distribution units and service cabinets
• Connection of three-phase equipment requiring earth and neutral
• Environments where splash-resistant panel inlets are required

Key specifications

• Rated current: 16 A
• Rated voltage: 400 V (three-phase)
• Contact configuration: 3 phases + earth + neutral (3P+Z+N)
• Mounting type: panel-mount for 75 x 75 mm cutout
• Ingress protection: IP44 (splash and particle protection)
• Application: fixed panel inlet for industrial and commercial use

How to use

Prepare a matching 75 x 75 mm cutout in the panel or enclosure and secure the inlet according to the manufacturer's mounting instructions. Perform power isolation before connecting supply conductors. Terminate phase, earth and neutral conductors to the corresponding terminals, ensuring correct torque on terminal screws and proper conductor preparation. After installation, verify correct continuity and insulation resistance where required and test functionality by connecting appropriate plugs and checking for secure mechanical engagement and electrical continuity.

Usage recommendations

Use this panel inlet in applications that match its electrical ratings: 16 A and 400 V three-phase systems. Avoid exposure to direct water jets or immersion, and ensure the enclosure provides additional protection if the installation site is exposed to heavy contamination or weather. Follow local electrical codes and standard safety practices during installation and maintenance, and perform periodic inspections of contacts and seals to maintain reliable operation.
