16A 200V Industrial Socket Male Female

The socket has an IP44 rating, indicating protection against solid objects larger than 1mm and splashes of water from all directions, making it appropriate for environments where moisture may be present.

The housing of the socket is typically made from thermoplastic materials such as ABS or polycarbonate, providing durability and impact resistance, while the contacts are often made from brass to ensure good electrical conductivity.

The socket features a 3-pin configuration, including two power pins and one earth pin (2P+E), enhancing safety through a grounding connection.

With its IP44 rating, the socket is suitable for outdoor use but should be shielded from direct exposure to heavy rain or water jets; for harsher environments, higher IP-rated sockets, such as IP67, are recommended.

This socket is commonly used in industrial settings, including construction sites, manufacturing plants, and workshops, where robust electrical connections are necessary for powering tools and machinery.
