Portable industrial plug, screw-type, 16A 3P+E 400V, OPTIMA, 213.1636

Portable industrial plug, ready for operation in demanding conditions

The plug is made of thermoplastic and features a characteristic red housing, facilitating its identification on-site. It is designed for use in 400V systems with a rated current of 16A and four poles (3P+E), corresponding to standard industrial configurations in Europe. It operates seamlessly at both 50Hz and 60Hz, eliminating the need to select a regional version.

The terminals are screw-type and made of nickel-plated brass, providing not only corrosion resistance but also stable contact under prolonged load. Compared to "piercing" terminals, screw terminals allow for more precise cable clamping, reducing the risk of joint overheating during extended duty cycles.

The IP44/IP54 protection rating indicates that the plug is resistant to water splashes from any direction and to strong water jets, making it ideal for outdoor installation, workshops, construction sites, or machinery requiring washing. Additionally, it meets the IK08 mechanical impact resistance class, withstands impacts and potential drops during transport or installation.

The 6h clock position means the cable exits straight downward, which is standard for portable industrial solutions where avoiding strain on the connection and preventing cable twisting are critical. The plug includes a cable gland, enabling secure and sealed cable termination without additional components.

No special tools are required for installation—a screwdriver is sufficient. This is important for the installer: there is no need to purchase specialized tools or learn new techniques. The plug is ready for use immediately after cable connection.

It complies with standards EN 60309-1 and EN 60309-2, ensuring compatibility with other OPTIMA system components and other industrial devices meeting the same standards. It holds ENEC, UKCA, EAC, and CMIM certifications, allowing use not only within the EU but also in markets outside it.

The black version is available as 213.1636.K, should you require a different color for circuit differentiation or aesthetic reasons.
