Panel socket 16 A 2P+E 230 V IP67 555384

Professional panel socket for demanding installations

The 16 A, 230 V panel socket is a robust industrial solution providing safe electrical connections in harsh environmental conditions. Thanks to the IP67 protection class, it is suitable for applications requiring tightness and resistance to external factors.

Construction and materials

The socket housing is made of plastic, a material characterized by high mechanical and chemical resistance. The material maintains dimensional stability across a wide range of operating temperatures, translating into long-term connection reliability.

The mounting dimensions are 70 × 70 mm (hole spacing), and the flange measures 84 × 84 mm, allowing for standard installation in panel enclosures. The connection is made via a screw terminal, ensuring secure wire fastening without the risk of loosening during operation.

Operating parameters and safety

The device operates at a rated current of 16 A and a voltage of 230 V (50-60 Hz), meeting the requirements of the EN 60309-2 standard for blue sockets. The three-pole construction (2P+Z) includes two phase conductors and a protective conductor, in accordance with electrical installation safety standards.

The protective contact is positioned at 6 hours, which corresponds to the standard configuration for this type of industrial socket. The IP67 protection class guarantees complete dust-tightness and resistance to temporary immersion in water.

Application and usage characteristics

The socket features blue color coding, clearly identifying its purpose for 230V circuits, which facilitates correct installation and operation. The plug insertion orientation is straight, ensuring intuitive mounting.

The product weighs 146 g, making it a lightweight solution that does not excessively load the panel structure, while maintaining the solid build quality typical of the Legrand brand.
