GW66448 Gewiss Switched Socket IP55 2P+E 16A 230V 6H
MPN: GW66448
Why Choose the Gewiss GW66448 Interlocked Socket-Outlet?
The Gewiss GW66448 is a professional 16A interlocked socket-outlet from the Combibloc IB Compact Range. This model is designed for standard 230V single-phase systems, easily identified by its Blue colour-coding.
A standout feature of the GW66448 is its IP55 rating, which offers a superior seal against dust and low-pressure water jets compared to standard IP44 alternatives. As a "With Bottom" version, it comes complete with its own back-mounting box, providing an all-in-one surface mounting solution. The integrated mechanical interlock prevents the switch from being turned "ON" without a plug engaged, ensuring the highest level of operator safety.
