From Mennekes, the PowerTOP Plus series of IP44 splashproof industrial power plugs are robust, reliable and easy to connect. Convenient front and rear locking slides and simple screw contacts make PowerTOP industrial plugs essentially tool free supporting rapid connection, reducing installation time. A rugged cable gland at the rear of the industrial plug with integrated strain relief prevents cable kinking. Constructed from a tough Amaplast casing including nickel plated contacts and heat resistant contact carriers supporting excellent corrosion resistance. Ergonomically designed for a slip-proof grip the PowerTOP series of BS4343 industrial power connectors perform exceptionally well in the most demanding environments.

Amaplast is a superior quality, industrial toughened thermoplastic material with excellent characteristics. Making them virtually unbreakable. The key points are;

• Abrasion resistant
• Self-extinguishing
• Heat resistant
• Resistant to cold temperatures
• Wear resistant
• Good electrical insulation

Mennekes AM-TOP IP44 splashproof industrial power plugs are designed in accordance with BS EN 60529. The IP rating is composed of two numbers. The first number refers to protection from solid matter, the second number for protection against liquids. The higher the number the better the protection. See technical datasheets for full definitions.

CEE Power Connectors have an industry standard colour coding in compliance with BS EN 60309-2 / BS4343 and IEC 309 Colour coding refers to a connectors rated voltage.

• Violet, 20 V to 25 V
• White, 40 V to 50 V
• Yellow, 100 V to 130 V
• Blue, 200 V to 250 V
• Red. 380 V to 480 V
• Black, 500 V to 1000 V

• Slip-proof plug housing for better handling while in the field
• Screw termination for rapid connection, reducing termination time

Mennekes PowerTOP

Plugs, sockets, appliance inlets and interlocked sockets conforming to the latest requirements of British and European standards. The insulator outer casing and interiors are manufactured from Amaplast (nylon 6) 16/32A, Amelan 63 / 125A for excellent mechanical performance. This material provides good electrical insulation and will meet the requirements of most industrial environments.
Contact tubes and pins are made of brass. To prevent incorrect connection, the earth contact is in a different position, relative to the safety key way on each socket outlet, for each voltage. All types are colour coded by voltage and are suitable for 50/60Hz operation.
Products are type tested to VDE.
