PCE 415-6p Angled Panel Mount Socket 16A 5P 400V IP44 with Box

The PCE 415-6p is a professional-grade angled panel mount socket engineered for demanding industrial electrical applications. This robust 16A, 5-pole connector is designed to operate at 400V, providing a reliable power interface for heavy-duty equipment. With an IP44 ingress protection rating, the unit offers effective resistance against splashing water and solid foreign objects, making it a dependable choice for challenging environments. The inclusion of a dedicated mounting box facilitates secure installation on panels or directly onto surfaces, ensuring a clean and stable connection point for industrial power distribution.

Advantages

This industrial socket stands out due to its durable construction and ergonomic angled design, which helps manage cable strain and optimizes space in tight electrical enclosures. The 5-pole configuration ensures compatibility with standard three-phase power systems, while the integrated mounting box simplifies the installation process by providing a ready-to-use housing. Its high-quality materials guarantee long-term performance and safety, even in environments where equipment is frequently connected and disconnected. The splash-proof design adds an essential layer of protection, maintaining electrical integrity in semi-exposed locations.

Suitable for

• Industrial workshops and manufacturing facilities
• Construction sites requiring temporary or permanent power
• Commercial machinery and heavy-duty equipment connections
• Power distribution boards and control panels

When it may not be suitable

This socket is not intended for use in environments requiring high-pressure water jet protection or total submersion, as its IP44 rating only covers splash protection. It is also not suitable for residential applications where standard domestic plugs are used, as it is specifically designed for industrial-grade 5-pole connectors.

Key specifications

• Current rating: 16A
• Voltage: 400V
• Configuration: 5-pole (3P+N+E)
• Protection rating: IP44
• Design: Angled panel mount with included box

How to use

Installation should be performed by a qualified electrician in accordance with local electrical codes. Begin by securing the mounting box to the desired panel or surface using appropriate fasteners. Route the supply cables through the cable entry points of the box and terminate the conductors into the internal terminals of the socket, ensuring that the phase, neutral, and earth wires are correctly matched. Once the wiring is secure, fasten the socket housing to the mounting box, ensuring the gasket is properly seated to maintain the IP44 seal. Verify all connections are tight before energizing the circuit.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that your power supply matches the 400V 5-pole requirement.
• Ensure the mounting surface is flat and capable of supporting the weight of the socket and cable.
• Check that the IP44 rating is sufficient for your specific environmental conditions.
• Confirm that the 16A rating is adequate for the connected load.

Usage recommendations

Always inspect the socket for signs of wear or damage before each use. Ensure that the mating plug is fully inserted and locked to maintain the integrity of the splash-proof connection. Avoid pulling on the cable to disconnect the plug; always grip the plug body firmly.
