KI1664IB5 Ilme Switched socket 16amp 415volt 4pole IP55 wall mounted

Why Choose the ILME KI1664IB5 Interlocked Switched Socket?

The ILME KI1664IB5 is a robust 16 A industrial interlocked switched socket-outlet designed for safe three-phase power connections in factories, workshops, machinery installations and industrial distribution systems. This wall-mounted unit combines a socket-outlet, mechanical interlocking switch and fuse carrier within a durable insulating enclosure, providing an integrated connection and isolation solution.

Designed for 380–415 V AC systems, the KI1664IB5 uses a 3P+E (4-pole) configuration with the protective earth contact in the standard 6h position. The socket complies with EN 60309-1 and EN 60309-2 requirements and has an IP55 protection rating, making it suitable for demanding industrial environments where protection against dust and water ingress is required.

An important safety feature is the mechanical interlock, which prevents the switch from being turned on unless a plug is inserted and prevents removal of the plug while the switch is switched on. The unit also incorporates an E16 plug-type fuse carrier, with fuses supplied separately, and a padlockable operating knob for improved isolation control during maintenance.

Safe Interlocked Power Connections for Industrial Equipment

Interlocked industrial sockets provide an additional level of operational safety by coordinating the electrical switch with the plug connection. On the ILME KI1664IB5, the mechanical interlocking mechanism prevents energisation when a plug is not inserted and prevents the plug from being withdrawn while the switch remains on, reducing the risk of disconnection under load.

The integrated E16 fuse carrier provides provision for fuse protection within the same wall-mounted assembly, while factory-installed internal wiring simplifies installation. Combined with its thermoplastic enclosure, IP55 protection and IEC/EN 60309-style industrial connection format, the KI1664IB5 provides a practical solution for three-phase industrial power distribution.

• Industrial machinery power supplies.
• Factory and production equipment.
• Workshop electrical distribution.
• Motor-driven machinery and processing equipment.
