PK1665EB Ilme Switched socket 16 amp 415v 5 pole IP44 (wall mounted)

Why Choose the ILME PK1665EB Interlocked Switched Socket?

The ILME PK1665EB is a robust 16 A interlocked switched socket outlet designed for safe and dependable three-phase power distribution in industrial environments. Part of the ILME PK series, this wall-mounted socket combines an industrial power outlet with a mechanically interlocked switch in a compact insulating enclosure, providing a practical connection point for machinery, production equipment and fixed electrical installations.

The PK1665EB features a 3-phase + neutral + protective earth (3P+N+PE) configuration, giving five contacts in total, with the protective earth contact positioned at 6 h. It is specified for 200/346–240/415 V AC at 50/60 Hz, making it suitable for nominal 415 V AC three-phase systems requiring a neutral conductor, with red identification for the industrial voltage configuration.

An IP44 degree of protection and self-extinguishing thermoplastic enclosure make the PK1665EB suitable for appropriate indoor and sheltered industrial environments. Its double mechanical interlock prevents the switch from being closed without a plug inserted and prevents plug removal while the switch is closed, helping provide controlled connection and disconnection of industrial equipment.

Key Advantages

• Combines an industrial socket and interlocked switch within one wall-mounted assembly.
• 16 A rated current for industrial three-phase equipment.
• Suitable for nominal 415 V AC three-phase systems with neutral.

Safe Interlocked Three-Phase Power Connectivity

Interlocked switched socket outlets combine an industrial socket with a switching mechanism to provide controlled connection and isolation of electrical equipment. The ILME PK1665EB is designed for 16 A three-phase systems and uses a 3P+N+PE configuration, making it suitable for machinery and equipment requiring three phases, neutral and protective earth.

The mechanical interlock is a key safety feature of the PK1665EB. The switch cannot be closed when the plug is removed, while an inserted plug cannot be withdrawn while the switch remains closed. Combined with the IP44 enclosure and wall-mounted design, this makes the socket a practical choice for factories, workshops, production areas and fixed industrial power distribution systems.

Typical Applications

• 415 V three-phase industrial machinery.
• Factory and manufacturing equipment.
• Production and processing machinery.
• Industrial workshops and engineering facilities.
• Machine tools and fixed electrical equipment.
• Industrial power distribution systems.
• OEM machinery installations.
• Applications requiring interlocked 5-pole three-phase socket outlets.
