MENNEKES Straight Switchable IP67 Industrial Interlock Socket 2+E, Earthing Position 6h, 63A, 230V

Due to a completely new manufacturing process, the X-CONTACT® sleeve obtains resilient properties based solely on its material characteristics, without the need to use any additional spring elements. Thanks to the shape of the X-CONTACT® sleeve, a particularly safe contact closure can be achieved.

The special design of the X-CONTACT® reduces the effort of insertion and withdrawal by up to 50%. An advantage that simplifies work processes and improves safety especially with high electrical currents. With X-CONTACT®, MENNEKES creates a safe contact closure and easy handling at a new, equally high level.

But how does X-CONTACT® achieve these benefits even with currents of 63 A or 125 A? A glance into the opening of an X-CONTACT® sleeve reveals the intelligent functional principle: the X-shaped slot and groove in the inner wall provides four advantages of the new design: innovative, simple, durable and safe. We call it the X principle

Plug cannot be withdrawn with the switch in the ON position, which prolongs contact life

16A - 63A can be padlocked in the OFF position

Housings are moulded from thermoplastic materials, giving insulation, strength and durability properties

Continuous polyurethane gasket between lid and base

Neutral block must be removed first before fitting auxillary contact block
