PCE angled portable plug 16A 5P 400V red IP44 TWIST (8015-6)

PCE angled portable plug 16A 5P 400V red IP44 TWIST (8015-6) is a right-angled industrial plug engineered for three-phase 400 V connections with a nominal current of 16 A. The red, impact-resistant housing and IP44 protection rating make the connector suitable for environments where splash protection and mechanical durability are required. The TWIST twist-lock mechanism secures the connection to prevent accidental disconnection and maintain reliable contact in mobile power distribution and temporary installations.

Advantages

The angled design reduces stress on cable entries and improves cable routing in confined spaces. IP44-rated sealing protects against water splashes and solid objects greater than 1 mm, while robust construction withstands mechanical wear typical for workshop, construction, and event applications. The twist-lock system provides a positive lock with tactile feedback to confirm correct mating and helps maintain stable electrical contact under vibration and movement.

Suitable for

• Temporary power distribution on construction sites
• Portable generators and mobile power units
• Event power supply for stages, lighting and sound equipment
• Workshops and repair facilities requiring three-phase connections
• Industrial equipment with 400 V, 16 A supply needs

Key specifications

• Contact configuration: 5-pin, three-phase with protective earth
• Rated voltage: 400 V AC
• Rated current: 16 A
• Ingress protection: IP44 (splash and limited dust protection)
• Orientation: angled / right-angled body
• Locking: twist-lock mating mechanism for secure connection
• Housing color and finish: red, impact-resistant material

How to use

Ensure the supply is switched off before connecting or disconnecting. Align the plug with the mating socket, insert fully, and turn according to the twist-lock action until it clicks or reaches the stop to secure the connection. For angled routing, position the cable to follow the intended path to reduce strain on conductors. When disconnecting, switch off the supply, unlock by rotating in the opposite direction, and then withdraw the plug from the socket.

Usage recommendations

Use the plug in accordance with local electrical regulations and ensure conductors are sized and terminated correctly for 16 A three-phase service. Inspect sealing surfaces and contacts for wear or contamination before each use and replace the connector if mechanical damage or degraded insulation is detected. Avoid prolonged exposure to heavy water jets or immersion, as IP44 protection covers splashes but not submersion.
