GW66431 Gewiss Switched Socket IP44 3P+N+E 16A 400V 6H

Why Choose the Gewiss GW66431 Switched Socket?

The Gewiss GW66431 is a compact interlocked industrial switched socket-outlet from the Gewiss IB Range, designed for reliable three-phase power distribution in industrial, commercial and professional electrical installations. Featuring a 3P+N+E configuration, 16 A rated current and 380–415 V AC rated voltage, it is ideally suited to nominal 400 V three-phase systems requiring neutral and protective earth connections.

The GW66431 incorporates a mechanical interlock between the socket and operating switch. This arrangement allows a compatible plug to be inserted or removed only when the switch contacts are open, while the switch can only be closed when the plug is correctly inserted. This controlled operating sequence helps prevent connection and disconnection under load and supports safer operation in professional electrical installations.

With an IP44 protection rating and IK08 mechanical impact resistance, the GW66431 is engineered for demanding industrial environments. The red socket features a 6h reference position, operates at 50/60 Hz and is supplied without a back-mounting box, allowing integration with compatible Gewiss IB Range mounting accessories and enclosures.

Safe and Reliable Three-Phase Power Connections

Interlocked socket-outlets improve electrical safety by controlling the sequence in which equipment can be connected, energised and disconnected. On the Gewiss GW66431, the mechanical interlock permits plug insertion and removal only when the switch contacts are open and prevents the switch from closing until the plug has been correctly inserted.

The combination of 16 A capacity, 380–415 V AC operation, 3P+N+E configuration, IP44 protection and IK08 impact resistance makes the GW66431 a practical solution for professional three-phase power distribution. Its compact format supports individual or grouped installations using compatible Gewiss IB Range mounting accessories.

Typical Applications

• Industrial 400 V three-phase power distribution systems.
• Factories and manufacturing facilities.
• Workshops and engineering environments.
• Machine building and industrial equipment.
• Commercial and service installations.
• Control panels and grouped socket distribution systems.
