MPN: GW66445
Why Choose the Gewiss GW66445 Interlocked Socket-Outlet?
The Gewiss GW66445 is a premium 16A interlocked socket-outlet from the Combibloc IB Range. Designed for high-performance industrial and commercial power distribution, this specific model is optimized for 110V site power systems, denoted by its high-visibility Yellow finish.
Unlike the standard horizontal units, the GW66445 is a Compact Compact version supplied with its own back-mounting box, providing an all-in-one solution for surface mounting. It features a superior IP55 rating, offering enhanced protection against dust and water jets compared to standard IP44 units. The mechanical interlock safety system ensures that the outlet can only be energized when a plug is inserted, preventing accidental "hot" switching.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between IP44 and this IP55 version?
While IP44 is splash-proof, IP55 provides a much tighter seal against dust ingress and can withstand direct water jets from a nozzle, making it significantly more durable in outdoor or wash-down areas.
Does this include the back box for mounting?
Yes. The GW66445 is part of the "With Bottom" series, meaning it comes complete with the surface-mounting enclosure box.
Can I padlock the switch?
Yes, the interlock lever is designed to be padlockable in both the ON and OFF positions (using accessory GW40422) for safety compliance and prevention of unauthorized use.
Is this suitable for 230V UK household power?
No. This is a 110V (Yellow) unit. For standard 230V UK mains power, you would require the Blue (6h) version (e.g., GW66448).
