GW66448 Gewiss Switched Socket IP55 2P+E 16A 230V 6H
Gewiss GW66448 is a compact IP55 interlocked industrial switched socket-outlet rated at 16 A and 200–250 V AC with a 2P+E configuration, 6h reference position, IK08 impact resistance and included back-mounting box.
Why Choose the Gewiss GW66448 Switched Socket?
The Gewiss GW66448 is a compact interlocked industrial switched socket-outlet from the Gewiss IB Range, designed for safe and reliable power distribution in industrial, commercial and professional electrical installations. Featuring a 2P+E configuration, 16 A rated current and 200–250 V AC rated voltage, it is ideally suited to nominal 230 V single-phase industrial supplies.
The GW66448 incorporates a mechanical interlock between the socket and control switch. The switch allows the plug to be connected or disconnected only when its contacts are open and permits the switch to close only when the plug is correctly inserted. This controlled operating sequence helps ensure connections and disconnections take place off-load, improving safety in professional power distribution applications.
With IP55 ingress protection and IK08 mechanical impact resistance, the GW66448 provides enhanced environmental protection for demanding installations. The blue socket features a 6h reference position, operates at 50/60 Hz and is supplied with a back-mounting box, providing a complete compact solution for surface-mounted installations.

Safe and Protected Industrial Power Connections
Interlocked socket-outlets improve electrical safety by controlling the sequence in which equipment can be connected, energised and disconnected. On the Gewiss GW66448, the control switch permits plug insertion and removal only when the switch contacts are open, while switch closure is only possible when the plug has been correctly inserted. This mechanical arrangement helps ensure connection and disconnection are carried out off-load.
The combination of 16 A capacity, 200–250 V AC operation, 2P+E configuration, IP55 protection and IK08 impact resistance makes the GW66448 a robust choice for nominal 230 V industrial power distribution. Its compact COMBIBLOC construction and included back-mounting box make it particularly convenient for professional surface-mounted installations.
Typical Applications
- Industrial 230 V single-phase power distribution systems.
- Factories and manufacturing facilities.
- Workshops and engineering environments.
- Machine building and industrial equipment.
- Commercial and service installations.
