Why Choose the Ilme TM1663SSPX ATEX Interlocked Switched Socket?

The Ilme TM1663SSPX is a robust 16 A ATEX interlocked switched socket outlet designed for industrial power distribution in areas classified for combustible dust. Part of the specialised Ilme TM-Ex series, it combines industrial socket connectivity with mechanical interlocking and an enclosure system developed for ATEX Zone 22 applications.

Rated for 200-250 V AC at 50 / 60 Hz, the TM1663SSPX uses a 2P + PE (3-pole) configuration with the protective earth contact at the 6 h position. Blue identification corresponds to its IEC voltage range. The mechanical interlock prevents the switch from being turned to the ON position without a compatible plug inserted and prevents the plug from being withdrawn while the switch remains on.

The TM1663SSPX is supplied without a fuse carrier and without a base box, allowing it to be integrated into compatible single or multiple Ilme TM-Ex boxes. The socket provides IP66 / IP67 protection when correctly installed using suitable components and cable entries, while its IK10 impact resistance and self-extinguishing thermoplastic construction support reliable use in demanding industrial environments.

ATEX Interlocked Power for Combustible-Dust Environments

The Ilme TM-Ex range is designed for industrial installations in ATEX-classified environments characterised by the possible presence of combustible dust. The TM1663SSPX combines an industrial socket outlet with a mechanically interlocked switch, ensuring that the switch cannot be turned on before a compatible plug is fully inserted and that the plug cannot be withdrawn while the switch remains on.

As a version supplied without a base box, the TM1663SSPX must be installed in a compatible Ilme TM-Ex single or multiple box using appropriately rated cable entries and accessories. The completed installation's ingress protection depends on correct assembly and on the protection rating of the components used, making appropriate ATEX installation practices essential.

Typical Applications

  • ATEX Zone 22 industrial power distribution.
  • Facilities where combustible dust may be present.
  • Food and ingredient processing plants.
  • Powder handling and processing equipment.
  • Industrial production and packaging machinery.
  • Material handling and storage facilities.
  • Industrial machinery requiring interlocked 230 V power connections.
