GW66430 Gewiss Switched Socket IP44 3P+E 16A 400V 6H
MPN: GW66430
Why Choose the Gewiss GW66430 Interlocked Socket-Outlet?
The Gewiss GW66430 is a high-specification 16A interlocked socket-outlet from the Combibloc IB range, featuring a 3P+N+E (5-pin) configuration. This unit is the standard choice for three-phase systems that require a neutral connection to power internal electronics, control circuits, or lighting alongside heavy-duty motors.
As part of the Red 400V range, the GW66430 includes a sophisticated mechanical interlock. This safety feature ensures the integrated switch cannot be moved to "ON" without a plug being fully engaged, and conversely, the plug is locked into the socket while the power is active. This prevents accidental disconnection under load and the associated risk of arc flash.
Product Code: Gewiss GW66430
Key Benefits
- Full 5-Pin Configuration: Supports 3 Phases, Neutral, and Earth for comprehensive three-phase power distribution.
- Enhanced Safety Interlock: Mechanical blocking system prevents power activation unless the plug is secure.
- Padlockable Rotary Handle: Designed for LOTO (Lock Out Tag Out) compliance, allowing the unit to be locked in the "OFF" position for maintenance.
- High Environmental Resistance: IP44 splash-proof rating and IK08 impact resistance protect the unit in demanding industrial areas.
- Advanced Material: Made from high-performance technopolymer that is halogen-free and UV stabilized.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between GW66429 and GW66430?
The GW66429 is a 4-pin (3P+E) socket, whereas the GW66430 is a 5-pin (3P+N+E) socket. The GW66430 includes a Neutral terminal, which is required for many modern machines with electronic controls.
Can I use a 4-pin plug in this 5-pin socket?
No. Industrial plugs and sockets are keyed differently to prevent incorrect connections. A 5-pin socket will only accept a 5-pin Red 16A plug.
Where is this 5-pin configuration typically used?
It is commonly used in commercial kitchens, mobile catering units, and sophisticated industrial machinery where both three-phase power and a neutral return are required.
Is it possible to surface mount this unit?
Yes, the GW66430 is a "Combibloc" style unit designed for surface mounting. It can also be integrated into modular distribution systems using Gewiss back-boxes.
