Full details
This MENNEKES CEE appliance socket (826) is designed for industrial and professional applications requiring a robust, waterproof power connection. Its key benefit is the IP67 rating, ensuring protection against dust and water immersion. A potential caveat is its specific voltage (230V) and amperage (16A) rating, requiring compatibility with your power source. It features a straight insertion, 3 poles, and screw terminals for secure connections.

FAQs
What does the blue color indicate?
The blue color signifies that the socket is designed for a voltage range of 200-250V, commonly referred to as 230V in many regions.
What is the meaning of IP67?
IP67 means the socket is protected against dust ingress and can withstand immersion in water up to 1 meter for 30 minutes.
Can I use this socket with a 110V power source?
No, this socket is specifically rated for 230V and should not be used with lower voltage sources like 110V, as it will not function correctly and could be a safety hazard.
Do I need special tools to connect wires?
No, the socket features screw terminals, which allow for direct connection of wires. Ensure you have a suitable screwdriver for tightening.
What is the maximum current this socket can handle?
The socket is rated for a maximum of 16 Amps (IEC Amperage).
Is this socket suitable for outdoor use?

Troubleshooting
Socket not powering connected device.
Verify that the power source is active and at the correct voltage (230V). Check that the mating plug is fully inserted and that the circuit breaker or fuse for the circuit is not tripped. Inspect the cable connections within the socket and the plug for security.
Loose connection at terminals.
Disconnect power. Open the socket and re-tighten the screw terminals securely onto the conductors. Ensure no stray strands of wire are present.
Water ingress despite IP67 rating.
Ensure the protective cover is properly closed when not in use. Inspect the sealing surfaces for damage or debris. Check that the cable entry is correctly sealed and that the cable diameter is within the specified range for the gland, if applicable.
