PB16002PT Ilme Panel mounted socket with micro switch 16amp 24v 2pole
Ilme PB16002PT is a 16 A 2-pole panel-mounted industrial socket for 20–25 V AC extra-low-voltage applications, featuring IP44 protection and an integrated microswitch actuated on plug insertion.
Why Choose the Ilme PB16002PT Panel-Mounted Socket with Microswitch?
The Ilme PB16002PT is a robust panel-mounted industrial socket outlet with an integrated switching microswitch, designed for extra-low-voltage electrical connections in industrial equipment. Rated at 16 A and 20–25 V AC, this 2-pole socket provides a dependable fixed connection point for machinery, control panels and automation installations requiring nominal 24 V operation.
The PB16002PT is a flush-mounting socket with a 55 × 55 mm flange and an integrated microswitch that is actuated when the mating plug is inserted. This provides an additional switching function that can be incorporated into machine control, interlocking or connection-status circuits where detection of plug insertion is required.
Designed in accordance with EN 60309-1 and EN 60309-2, the socket uses insulating self-extinguishing thermoplastic construction and provides an IP44 degree of protection. Its 20–25 V AC, 50 / 60 Hz configuration uses no key way and is colour coded for its extra-low-voltage application.
Key Advantages
- Industrial panel-mounted socket with integrated microswitch.
- 16 A current rating for dependable extra-low-voltage connections.

Reliable Plug Detection for Industrial Equipment
The integrated microswitch distinguishes the PB16002PT from a conventional panel-mounted industrial socket. In addition to providing the main 2-pole electrical connection, the microswitch changes state when a compatible plug is inserted, allowing equipment controls to detect the presence of the connected plug and use this status within an appropriate control or interlocking circuit.
The flush-mounting format makes the PB16002PT particularly suitable for integration into machinery, control panels and industrial equipment. Its 16 A rating, extra-low-voltage configuration and IP44 protection provide a practical connection solution for professional applications where both electrical connectivity and plug-insertion detection are required.
Typical Applications
- Industrial machinery and machine building.
- Automation and production equipment.
- Control panels and operator stations.
- Extra-low-voltage industrial power connections.
- Equipment requiring plug-insertion detection.
- Interlocking and auxiliary control systems.
