FAQs

What does IP44 rating mean?

IP44 signifies that the socket is protected against solid objects larger than 1.00 mm (like wires or small tools) and is also protected against water splashes from any direction.

What is the IK09 rating?

IK09 indicates a high level of resistance to mechanical impacts. It can withstand an impact energy of up to 10 Joules, equivalent to a 5 kg mass dropped from a height of 200 mm.

Can I use this socket for 400V appliances?

No, this socket is rated for 230V and 16A. It is a 3-pin (2P + PE) socket for single-phase power. For 400V applications, you would need a different CEE socket with the appropriate voltage and pin configuration.

How do I connect a plug to this socket?

You need a CEE plug that matches the 3-pin (2P + PE), 230V, 16A specification. Ensure the plug is correctly inserted into the socket and locked if the plug design allows, for a secure connection.

What material is the socket made from?

The socket is made from Polyamide 6, a durable and robust plastic known for its resistance to impact and environmental factors.

Is this socket suitable for permanent outdoor installation?

While its IP44 rating provides protection against splashes and foreign bodies, for permanent outdoor installations exposed to direct weather, it is always advisable to consult specific installation guidelines and local regulations for optimal protection.

Troubleshooting
