PCE 16A 3P 230V Blue Socket Receiver Plug IP44 model 513-6

PCE 16A 3P 230V Blue Socket Receiver Plug IP44 model 513-6 is a 16 amp, three-pole 230V connector designed for temporary power distribution in workshops, construction sites and outdoor events. The blue housing indicates its voltage class and the IP44 rating provides splash protection for use in exposed environments. The device offers secure live, neutral and earth contacts in a compact, plug-in format compatible with portable equipment and power distribution units.

Advantages

The socket receiver plug features a standardized three-pole contact arrangement that ensures reliable electrical connection and correct phase alignment. Its robust plastic housing resists mechanical wear and provides insulation while the IP44 splash protection reduces risk from water ingress during outdoor or damp indoor use. The plug's ergonomic design and straightforward plug-in operation allow fast installation and removal without special tools.

How to use

Before use, verify the supply voltage and that the mating connector matches the plug's contact arrangement. Mount or insert the socket receiver plug into the corresponding inlet or adapter until it seats securely and check that the locking mechanism (if present) engages. Connect the supply only after confirming correct mechanical engagement and secure wiring of incoming conductors by a qualified person. Disconnect power before performing any inspection, wiring changes or maintenance.

Usage recommendations

Use the socket receiver plug in accordance with local electrical codes and safety standards. Avoid continuous exposure to heavy water jets or full immersion despite IP44 protection. Inspect contacts and housing periodically for wear or damage and replace the connector if protective features are compromised.
