SQE3265 Ilme Switched socket 32 amp 415v 5 pole IP44 (without backbox)

Why Choose the ILME SQE3265 Interlocked Switched Socket?

The ILME SQE3265 is a robust 32 A 415 V industrial interlocked switched socket designed for safe and reliable three-phase power distribution in machinery, manufacturing and industrial installations. Part of the ILME SQE interlocked switched socket series, it combines an industrial socket outlet with a mechanically interlocked switch to provide controlled connection and local isolation of electrical equipment.

The mechanical interlocking system coordinates operation of the plug, socket and switch, helping prevent the socket from being switched on without a compatible plug correctly inserted and preventing plug withdrawal while the switch is in the ON position. This provides an important safety function for industrial installations where three-phase equipment must be connected and isolated reliably.

With a rated current of 32 A, an operating voltage range of 380–415 V AC and a 3P+N+E five-pole configuration, the SQE3265 is suitable for three-phase equipment requiring a neutral and protective earth connection. Its IP44 protection rating and red voltage-coded socket make it suitable for a wide range of industrial environments, while this version is supplied without a backbox for integration into a suitable panel or compatible enclosure.

Key Advantages

• Industrial interlocked switched socket for safe three-phase power distribution.
• 32 A current rating suitable for higher-current machinery and industrial equipment.

Safe Three-Phase Power Connection with Neutral

Interlocked switched sockets such as the ILME SQE3265 combine an industrial socket outlet and local switching within a mechanically linked assembly. The interlocking mechanism helps ensure the socket cannot be switched on without the plug correctly inserted and prevents plug withdrawal while the switch remains on, providing controlled connection and isolation for industrial equipment.

The five-pole 3P+N+E arrangement provides three phase conductors, neutral and protective earth, making the SQE3265 suitable for machinery and equipment that require a neutral supply in addition to three-phase power. Supplied without a backbox, it can be incorporated into a suitable industrial panel or compatible enclosure to create a fixed 32 A power connection point.

Typical Applications

• 400 V and 415 V three-phase industrial power distribution.
• Industrial machinery requiring a neutral connection.
• Factory and manufacturing electrical systems.
• Processing and packaging machinery.
• Automation and production equipment.
• Industrial workshops and maintenance facilities.
• Electrical distribution panels and enclosure systems.
• OEM machinery and fixed industrial installations.
