SQE16435FM Ilme Switched socket 16 amp 110v 3 pole IP55 (room for RCD)

Why Choose the Ilme SQE1643.5FM Interlocked Switched Socket?

The Ilme SQE1643.5FM is a robust 16 A interlocked switched industrial socket-outlet designed for controlled connection and isolation of equipment operating from 110 V industrial supplies. This 3-pole, 2P+E version is rated for the 100–130 V AC, 50 / 60 Hz range and provides an IP55 degree of protection for demanding industrial installations.

Part of the Ilme SQE series, the SQE1643.5FM incorporates a mechanical interlock between the socket and command switch. This arrangement prevents the switch from being turned ON without a compatible plug inserted and prevents removal of the plug while the switch is ON, helping ensure that connection, energisation and disconnection take place in the intended sequence.

The SQE1643.5FM configuration is intended for integration into an FM enclosure arrangement with room for protective equipment such as an RCD. The socket uses yellow voltage identification for the 100–130 V AC range, a 4h earth-contact position and a spring-loaded lid with gasket and bayonet fastening, making it a practical solution for industrial power distribution and machinery installations.

Key Advantages

• Industrial 16 A, 110 V interlocked switched socket.
• 3-pole, 2P+E configuration for compatible industrial power connections.
• IP55 protection for enhanced resistance to dust and water ingress.

Controlled 110 V Industrial Power and Protection

Interlocked switched socket-outlets coordinate the switching and connection functions so that industrial equipment cannot normally be disconnected while the socket remains switched ON. The mechanical interlock on the Ilme SQE system also prevents the switch from being energised without a compatible plug inserted, providing a controlled operating sequence for industrial electrical equipment.

The SQE1643.5FM combines this interlocking principle with a 16 A, 100–130 V AC, 2P+E socket and IP55 protection. Its FM configuration provides space for incorporating additional circuit protection such as an RCD, making it particularly useful for industrial distribution points where connection, switching and protective functions need to be brought together in a practical assembly.

Typical Applications

• 110 V industrial power distribution systems.
• Industrial machinery and production equipment.
• Workshop and maintenance power outlets.
• Manufacturing and assembly facilities.
• Machine power connection and isolation points.
• Industrial distribution assemblies requiring RCD provision.
