TM1664SPX Ilme Atex switched socket 16 amp 415v 4p IP67 wall mounted

Why Choose the Ilme TM1664SPX ATEX Switched Socket?

The Ilme TM1664SPX is a heavy-duty ATEX interlocked switched socket-outlet designed for industrial electrical installations where potentially explosive atmospheres may occur. Rated at 16 A for nominal 415 V AC supplies, it features a 3P+E four-pole configuration and a robust wall-mounted design for fixed power distribution applications.

The switched and mechanically interlocked design provides controlled connection and disconnection of compatible industrial plugs. The interlocking arrangement helps ensure that the plug cannot normally be inserted or removed while the socket contacts are energised, providing an important safety feature for industrial machinery, processing equipment and hazardous-area power distribution systems.

With an IP67 protection rating, the TM1664SPX provides a high level of environmental protection when correctly installed. Its combination of 16 A capacity, 415 V AC operation, four-pole connectivity, wall mounting and ATEX suitability makes it a specialised solution for demanding industrial installations requiring a robust local power connection and isolation point.

Interlocked Power Connection for Hazardous Industrial Areas

Switched interlocked socket-outlets combine a power connection with local isolation and mechanical interlocking. The interlock coordinates operation of the switch and socket so that normal plug connection and removal occur with the circuit isolated, helping reduce the possibility of making or breaking the connection while electrical load is present.

The Ilme TM1664SPX is specifically identified as an ATEX version for use in appropriate hazardous-area installations. Selection and installation of ATEX electrical equipment must always match the hazardous-area classification, gas or dust group, temperature requirements and other conditions of the installation, with the complete system installed in accordance with the applicable certification and regulations.

Typical Applications

• Hazardous-area industrial power distribution.
• Chemical and process industry installations.
• Industrial plants requiring ATEX-rated connection equipment.
• Three-phase machinery power connections.
• Manufacturing and processing equipment in designated hazardous areas.
• Fixed installations requiring local switching, isolation and robust environmental protection.
