Surface-mounted socket, screw-type 32A 3P+N+E 230V OPTIMA, 513.3257

Overview

Surface-mounted socket designed for industrial and commercial installations, enabling connection of high-power devices – up to 32 A at 346‑415 V. The 3P+N+E configuration ensures full protection against electric shock and allows connection of the protective conductor. The housing in intense red color not only facilitates quick location of the socket in the workplace but also meets the requirements for IP44 protection (resistance to water jets) and IK08 (impact resistance).

Advantages and Applications

• Nickel-plated brass contacts – ensure stable electrical contact even with frequent switching on and off.
• Screw terminals – simple and secure cable mounting; installers appreciate the ability to tighten quickly without the need for specialized tools.
• High mechanical resistance (IK08) – the socket withstands impacts and vibrations typical of industrial environments.
• IP44 protection – effective barrier against moisture and dust, allowing installation in locations exposed to splashes.
• Clock position 6 h – enables convenient cable routing at a 6 h angle, facilitating cable organization in cabinets and near machines.
• Surface-mounted design – ideal for quick installation on wall surfaces or panels without the need to cut openings in distribution boxes.
• Compliance with EN 60309‑1/A1 – guarantees interchangeability with other industrial components and meets the requirements of the EU Low Voltage Directive 2014/35.

The socket is suitable for:

• production halls,
• service workshops,
• energy distribution centers,
• temporary installations at construction sites,
• power supply points for machines requiring three phases plus protective and neutral conductors.

Installation and Compliance

Installation is performed using the surface-mounted method, eliminating the need for additional mounting elements. Thanks to punch-down terminals, cables can be easily inserted and secured. The socket is supplied with a rubber threaded gland, ensuring a tight connection for M32 × 1,5 mm² type cables. The product holds the following certifications:

• EN 60309‑1/A1 (2007) – general safety requirements,
• EN 60309‑2/A1 (2007) – dimensional interchangeability requirements,
• Low Voltage Directive 2014/35/EU,
• CE, UKCA, EAC markings, as well as ENEC and CQC certificates.

Thanks to these specifications, the socket meets both installer requirements (ease of installation, durability) and end-user expectations (safety, reliability).
