Schneider Electric sealed single socket with switch and earth 16A IP44 black NT130H05

Sealed single electrical socket from Schneider Electric, model NT130H05, provides a switched 16 A outlet with an earth contact in a compact black housing. The IP44 protection rating ensures resistance to splashes and solid objects greater than 1 mm, making this socket suitable for indoor and sheltered outdoor locations where basic weather and dust protection are required. The integrated switch allows local control of the supply without needing a separate wall switch, simplifying installation and daily use.

Advantages

The product combines a switched outlet and earth contact in one sealed unit, reducing the need for additional components. IP44 ingress protection reduces the risk of damage from water splashes and dust, improving safety in workshops, garages, and utility rooms. The unit’s streamlined black design is unobtrusive and easy to integrate into existing installations. Installation requires only standard wiring connections and provides a reliable 16 A circuit for common appliances and power tools.

Suitable for

• Powering portable appliances and power tools in garages and workshops
• Outdoor sheltered areas such as covered patios and garden sheds
• Utility rooms, basements and laundry areas where splash protection is needed
• Locations requiring a switched outlet with earth connection for safety

Key specifications

• Rated current: 16 A
• Protection degree: IP44 (splash and solid object protection)
• Integrated single-pole switch for local on/off control
• Earthing contact for connection of earthed appliances
• Finish: black housing designed for concealed or visible mounting in sheltered locations

How to use

Before installation, disconnect mains power and verify compliance with local electrical regulations. Mount the socket on a suitable flat surface in a sheltered location and make the line, neutral and earth connections according to wiring diagrams and national wiring colour codes. Use appropriate cable entries and gland seals to preserve the IP44 rating. After wiring, restore power and test the outlet and switch using a suitable device to confirm correct operation and earthing continuity.

Usage recommendations

For continued IP44 performance, check that cable entries and seals are properly fitted and inspect periodically for damage or ingress. Do not use in permanently exposed outdoor locations or where the socket would be submerged; select a higher IP-rated product for full outdoor exposure. Use this socket with appliances and tools that match the 16 A rating and ensure protective devices such as RCDs or circuit breakers are installed as required by local regulations.
