GW66427 Gewiss Switched Socket IP44 3P+E 16A 230V 9H
MPN: GW66427
Why Choose the Gewiss GW66427 Interlocked Socket-Outlet?
The Gewiss GW66427 is a compact, industrial-grade interlocked socket-outlet from the Combibloc IB range. It is engineered for environments where electrical safety is non-negotiable, such as workshops, food processing plants, and construction sites. The mechanical interlock ensures that the switch can only be moved to the "ON" position when a plug is fully inserted, and the plug cannot be withdrawn while the power is live.
As a 16A, 230V (3P+E) unit, it follows international colour-coding standards (Blue) for easy identification of voltage ranges. Its IP44 rating provides reliable protection against splashing water and solid objects larger than 1mm, making it a robust choice for heavy-duty indoor or sheltered outdoor use.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can this socket be used with a standard 3-pin UK domestic plug?
No. The GW66427 is designed specifically for IEC 60309 industrial "Commando" plugs (Blue, 16A, 3-pin). It is not compatible with standard domestic household plugs.
Is the GW66427 padlockable for LOTO (Lock Out Tag Out)?
Yes, the rotary switch handle is designed to be padlockable in the OFF position, allowing maintenance teams to safely isolate equipment in compliance with safety regulations.
What size cable entry does this unit have?
The unit typically features knockouts for M20 or M25 cable glands. This allows for a watertight seal to be maintained when feeding the unit with SWA or SY cables.
Can I mount this on a wooden workshop wall?
Yes. The enclosure material passes the Glow Wire Test at 850°C for active parts, making it safe for mounting on various building surfaces, including those that are potentially combustible.
Will this work with other brands of industrial plugs?
Yes. Because it follows the IEC 60309 standard, it is fully cross-compatible with 16A 230V 3-pin plugs from other manufacturers like Mennekes, Schneider, or MK.
