Portable plug Shark 16A 230V 2P+Z IP44 NICKEL-PLATED CONTACTS 013-6V

Safe Power Supply in Challenging Conditions

The blue 16 A industrial plug is a standard solution for single-phase installations requiring resistance to external conditions. Thanks to the IP44 protection rating, the housing effectively protects contacts against dust ingress and water splashes from any direction. This is a key feature for outdoor work, such as on construction sites, in agriculture, or during outdoor events, where devices must be connected quickly and securely, even in adverse weather.

The blue color (RAL 5017) is not accidental – in accordance with standard EN 60309-2, it indicates a rated voltage of 230 V (50/60 Hz). The protective contact position indicator set to the 6 o'clock position facilitates quick and error-free matching to the appropriate socket, eliminating the risk of connecting to the wrong voltage. The "twist" (rotary) construction provides mechanical protection against accidental disconnection due to vibrations or cable pulling.

Ease of Installation and Connection Durability

For the installer, the most important factors are the speed and reliability of the connection. This model is equipped with a quick-closing housing system, allowing assembly without additional tools – simply rotate the housing. Inside, there are screw terminals adapted to standard conductor diameters, simplifying cable selection and reducing work time. The cable gland ensures a tight cable entry, and its construction additionally protects against cable pull-out under mechanical overload.

Contacts made of brass (CuZn) are nickel-plated, increasing corrosion resistance and ensuring low contact resistance even after long-term use. Wire color markings (PE = green, N = blue, L = grey) are clear and compliant with standards, minimizing the risk of phase connection errors. The housing material is a durable plastic resistant to impact and UV radiation, preventing the body from becoming brittle even with intensive use in sunlight.

Application and Compatibility

This plug is an ideal component for creating portable power lines for electric tools with a power rating up to 16 A. Its versatility stems from full compatibility with standardized CEE products from other manufacturers – it can be safely connected to most industrial sockets available on the European market. It does not have a phase reverser, which is typical for simple single-phase circuits (2P+Z), where the priority is the stability of the phase and neutral connection relative to ground.

Key application areas include:

• Construction sites – as a power point for power tools (drills, grinders).
• Workshops and production halls – for connecting portable auxiliary devices.
• Agriculture – in farms where atmospheric conditions may vary.
• Outdoor events – safe power supply for lighting or audio-video equipment.

Parameters such as the rated current of 16 A and voltage of 230 V define the safe operating range of the device in single-phase networks. The IP44 protection rating guarantees resistance to moisture and dust, which is essential in industrial and construction environments. The use of nickel-plated brass contacts and durable plastic ensures that the product maintains its properties even with frequent assembly and disassembly and exposure to sunlight. By choosing this model, you receive a product designed to withstand extreme working conditions without the need for frequent maintenance. Resistance to shocks and vibrations ensures that the connection remains stable even during dynamic movement of electrical devices.
