Socket outlet CEE 7/3 Rittal 2482.400, PC housing, IP65, 25 V 16 A 50 Hz, white

The Rittal 2482.400 socket-outlet CEE 7/3 in white is a weatherproof module for secure, rapid access to a CEE 7/3 mains socket while the enclosure remains closed. Designed for installation in control cabinets and enclosures, the polycarbonate housing provides protection against dust and water ingress while allowing the socket to be used through a hinged flap that opens between 90° and 180°.

Advantages

The housing is made of durable polycarbonate and meets IP65 protection, keeping the interior protected from ambient influences and unauthorised access. A multi-stage hinged flap snaps into position at opening angles from 90° to 180°, enabling convenient access and flexible cable routing. A snap fastener ensures reliable sealing and can be locked if required. The module supports rotation of attached SUB-D interfaces during use, increasing installation flexibility.

Suitable for

• Power supply in control cabinets and outdoor enclosures where IP65 protection is required
• Applications needing quick, repeated access to a CEE 7/3 socket without opening the entire enclosure
• Industrial and commercial installations where secure sealing and optional locking are necessary

When it may not be suitable

Not suitable if a different socket type or higher-rated voltage/current is required; this module is specified for CEE 7/3, rated voltage 25 V and rated current 16 A at 50 Hz. It may also be unnecessary for applications that do not require IP65 protection or where flush-mounted, tamper-proof power solutions are preferred.

How to use

Install the module into the prepared cutout of the enclosure or control cabinet according to the cabinet manufacturer’s mounting instructions. Connect the internal mains wiring to the socket terminals following applicable electrical safety standards. Use the hinged flap to open the socket between 90° and 180° as needed; the flap will snap into intermediate positions. Ensure the snap fastener is closed after use to maintain IP65 sealing and lock it when access should be restricted.

What to consider before purchase

• Confirm the socket type (CEE 7/3) and electrical ratings (25 V, 16 A, 50 Hz) match your application
• Verify required protection rating (IP65) and housing material suitability for the environment
• Check enclosure cutout dimensions and mounting compatibility with your cabinet or panel

Usage recommendations

Use certified wiring practices and a qualified electrician for installation. Close the flap and fasten the snap after each use to preserve IP65 protection; apply the optional locking function when unauthorised access must be prevented.
