Why Choose the Ilme SQE1663C Interlocked Switched Socket?
The Ilme SQE1663C is a wall-mounted interlocked switched industrial socket-outlet designed for controlled connection and isolation of equipment operating from 230 V industrial power supplies. Rated at 16 A and 230 V AC, it features a 3-pole, 2P+E configuration and IP44 protection for dependable use in industrial electrical installations.
Part of the Ilme SQE interlocked switched socket range, the SQE1663C combines the industrial socket and switching functions within a coordinated assembly. Mechanical interlocking helps ensure that plug connection, switching and disconnection take place in the intended sequence, reducing the possibility of the plug being disconnected while the socket remains energised.
The SQE1663C is supplied in a wall-mounted configuration, providing a complete fixed connection point without requiring a separate back box. Its blue identification colour corresponds to the 230 V industrial voltage category, while its thermoplastic construction and compatibility with standard industrial plug systems make it suitable for machinery, workshops, production areas and industrial power distribution.

Controlled 230 V Industrial Power Connection
Interlocked switched socket-outlets combine an industrial power connection with a switching mechanism designed to coordinate electrical isolation and plug operation. This arrangement is particularly useful for machinery and industrial equipment because it provides a defined connection and switching sequence at the point where equipment receives its electrical supply.
With its 16 A, 230 V AC and 2P+E configuration, the Ilme SQE1663C provides a practical fixed power outlet for compatible single-phase industrial equipment. The wall-mounted construction allows the complete socket assembly to be installed directly at the required power distribution point, while IP44 protection supports use in appropriate industrial environments.
Typical Applications
- 230 V industrial machinery and equipment.
- Workshop power distribution systems.
- Manufacturing and production facilities.
- Machine power connection and isolation points.
- Maintenance and service areas.
- Fixed industrial electrical distribution installations.
