Schneider SDD211024 Socket IP44 White

The Schneider SDD211024 socket from the Sedna Design series is a high-quality electrical component designed for safe and reliable power distribution. This single recessed socket features an IP44 ingress protection rating, ensuring it is shielded against water splashes and solid objects, making it an ideal choice for areas where moisture or dust may be present. Finished in a clean white color, this socket integrates seamlessly into various interior styles while providing robust performance for both residential and commercial electrical systems.

Advantages

The primary benefit of this socket is its IP44 rating, which offers enhanced protection compared to standard indoor sockets, allowing for safer operation in semi-exposed environments. The inclusion of grounding contacts and a safety valve provides an additional layer of protection against electrical hazards and accidental contact. Its recessed mounting design ensures a flush, aesthetic finish on the wall, while the durable construction guarantees long-term reliability under a standard 16 A load.

Suitable for

• Kitchens and utility rooms with potential moisture exposure
• Covered outdoor areas such as balconies or terraces
• Bathrooms outside of direct water spray zones
• Workshops or garages requiring dust-resistant electrical points

This socket may not be suitable for installation in areas subject to direct water jets or heavy rain, as the IP44 rating only provides protection against splashing water. It is also not intended for industrial environments requiring higher ingress protection ratings or specialized heavy-duty power connections.
