Product Information

Full details

The Siemens 5TE6800 is a Schuko 16A socket-outlet designed for integration into distribution boards and mounting on standard DIN rails. It is ideal for electricians and system integrators building or expanding electrical distribution systems in residential and small commercial settings. A key benefit is its reliable connection and suitability for circuits with moderate inrush currents, thanks to its Type B characteristic. A caveat is that in distribution boards with a 55 mm mounting depth, the socket can only be used without its hinged lid.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

What is a Schuko socket?

Schuko (Schutzkontakt) is a standard for electrical sockets and plugs widely used in Europe. It is also known as Type F.

What does 'Type B characteristic' mean for a circuit breaker or socket?

Type B characteristic indicates a circuit breaker's tripping curve. For Type B, the instantaneous trip occurs between 3 to 5 times the rated current, making it suitable for circuits with low inrush currents.

Can I use this socket with appliances from North America?

No, the Siemens 5TE6800 is a Schuko (Type F) socket and is not directly compatible with North American plugs (Type A or B) without a suitable adapter. Always ensure compatibility before use.

What is the maximum current rating for this socket?

The socket has a maximum current rating of 16A.

Is the hinged lid essential for operation?

No, the hinged lid is optional and provides additional protection. The socket will function correctly without it, especially in shallower distribution boards.

Where is this socket typically installed?

It is designed for installation in electrical distribution boards and on standard DIN rails, providing a convenient outlet within the board.

What are the physical dimensions of the product?

The package dimensions are approximately 97 mm width, 82 mm depth, and 51 mm height. The product itself is designed to fit standard DIN rail mounting.

Troubleshooting

Socket not providing power.

Verify that the main power supply is on. Check all electrical connections to and from the socket within the distribution board for security. Ensure the circuit breaker or fuse protecting this circuit is not tripped or blown.

Hinged lid does not fit.

Confirm the mounting depth of your distribution board. If it is 55 mm, the hinged lid cannot be used. The socket will function without the lid.

Socket trips frequently under load.

Check the total load connected to the socket. Ensure it does not exceed the 16A rating. If the load is within limits, there may be an issue with the connected appliance or the wiring, or the Type B characteristic may be insufficient for a high inrush current device.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Reliable connection for general electrical distribution.
  • Type B characteristic suitable for common domestic loads.
  • Easy integration into standard distribution boards and DIN rails.
  • Compact design for efficient use of space.
  • Durable construction from a reputable brand.

Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure the main power supply to the distribution board is switched off.
  2. Mount the Siemens 5TE6800 onto a standard 35mm DIN rail within the distribution board.
  3. Connect the input terminals to the appropriate phase and neutral conductors within the distribution board, following local electrical codes and regulations.
  4. Connect the output terminals to the circuit requiring the socket outlet.
  5. If using the hinged lid and the distribution board has sufficient mounting depth (greater than 55mm), attach the lid.

  • Plug Type: Compatible with Schuko (Type F) plugs.
  • Mounting: Designed for standard 35mm DIN rails.
  • Distribution Boards: Suitable for installation in Siemens distribution boards and other compatible enclosures.
  • Electrical Systems: For use in AC electrical systems within its rated voltage and current limits.

Care:

  • Keep the socket outlet clean and free from dust and debris. Use a dry or slightly damp cloth for cleaning; avoid harsh chemicals.
  • Periodically inspect for any signs of damage or wear. Ensure connections remain secure.
  • The hinged lid, if used, should operate smoothly. Keep the hinge area clean.
