Plug Scame Optima screw-terminal 3P+N+E 16A IP67 model 218.1637

Scame Optima screw-terminal plug model 218.1637 is a 3P+N+E industrial plug rated for 16A with IP67 ingress protection. The plug provides sealed connection for three-phase equipment or single-phase systems that require separated earth and neutral conductors. Its screw-terminal design allows secure conductor clamping without the need for prefabricated cable tails, and the robust housing protects connections from dust and temporary immersion in water.

Advantages

The screw-terminal connection ensures reliable electrical contact and easy field wiring for cables of various cross-sections. The IP67-rated enclosure provides protection against dust and water, making the plug suitable for outdoor and harsh-environment applications. The plug’s ergonomic shape and durable materials support repeated use and mechanical resistance in industrial settings.

Suitable for

• Temporary outdoor power distribution and site installations
• Connecting portable machinery and equipment requiring a sealed 16A supply
• Workshops, construction sites, and maintenance operations
• Environments where dust and water protection are required

Key specifications

• Contact arrangement: 3 poles + neutral + earth (3P+N+E)
• Rated current: 16 A
• Ingress protection: IP67 (dust-tight and protected against temporary immersion)
• Terminal type: screw terminals for conductors
• Housing: impact-resistant, weatherproof enclosure

How to use

Prepare the cable by stripping insulation to the appropriate length for the screw terminals, following safety standards and cable manufacturer recommendations. Open the plug housing, insert the conductors into the corresponding screw terminals (L1, L2, L3, N, E) and tighten the screws to the recommended torque to ensure secure contact. Reassemble the housing, ensuring seals and gaskets are properly seated to maintain IP67 protection. Test the connection for correct continuity and insulation before applying load.

Usage recommendations

Use only cables and conductor sizes within the rated range for 16 A operation and follow local electrical codes. Avoid exposing the plug to continuous submersion beyond IP67 limits and inspect seals periodically for damage. For installations under mechanical strain or vibration, secure the cable and plug to reduce stress on terminals.
