Fully interlocked switched (phase) sockets give enhanced electrical safety.

Switch cannot be energised until the plug is inserted
Plug cannot be withdrawn with the switch in the ON position, which prolongs contact life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

* Has metric threads on mounting box cable entries

X-CONTACT
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
