Industrial plugs and sockets

The new range includes 16 and 32A straight plugs, mobile sockets, panel mounting sockets and surface mounting sockets which are available in IP44 and IP66/67 rated versions. Products are fabricated using durable polyamide 6, which offers good heat resistance and ensures the range is suitable for the harshest of industrial environments.

An easy grip section has been included on the body of all mobile products in the range for safety and ease of handling and a new captive cable grip has been designed with an anti-vibration system to ensure that the cable is permanently held in place.

The new P17 Tempra Pro range makes cable stripping simple with markings on the terminals which make it easier to identify the required length of cable. Meanwhile, captive screws ensure quick and easy installation with just one captive screw per connection terminal.

The surface mounting sockets now offer a choice of 50 or 250  mounting positions in a single unit. The option to select a 50 angle is suitable for environments where space is limited. The unit has been designed to allow easy removal of active parts for ease of wiring and simple selection of socket angle.

The P17 Tempra Pro surface mounting sockets also now include four threaded and sealed cable entries at the top and the bottom of each unit and, for ease of maintenance, the new models feature fixing centres that are identical to the previous generation products, making replacement quick and simple.

For the IP66/67 products other safety improvements include engraved position markings on the ring cover so that end users can verify instantly whether the P17 Tempra Pro unit is in the open or closed position.
