Why Choose the Ilme SQE1663 Interlocked Switched Socket?
The Ilme SQE1663 is a 16 A interlocked switched industrial socket-outlet designed for controlled connection and isolation of equipment operating from 230 V industrial power supplies. Featuring a 3-pole, 2P+E configuration and IP44 protection, it provides a practical connection point for machinery, workshop equipment and industrial distribution installations.
Part of the Ilme SQE series, the SQE1663 combines an industrial socket-outlet with a mechanically interlocked switching mechanism. This arrangement helps ensure that the switching and plug connection functions are operated in the intended sequence, preventing normal plug withdrawal while the switch is in the ON position and providing controlled local switching for connected equipment.
The SQE1663 is supplied without a back box, allowing it to be incorporated into a suitable compatible enclosure or panel installation. Its blue voltage identification corresponds to the 200–250 V AC industrial range, while the 6h earth-contact position provides the standard IEC 60309 configuration for this voltage and frequency category.
Key Advantages
- Industrial 16 A interlocked switched socket for 230 V applications.

Controlled 230 V Industrial Power Connection
An interlocked switched socket combines the industrial power connection and switching functions into a coordinated assembly. The mechanical interlock helps prevent routine disconnection while the switch is ON, providing a controlled sequence when connecting, energising, isolating and disconnecting compatible industrial equipment.
With its 16 A, 230 V AC and 2P+E configuration, the Ilme SQE1663 is suitable for a wide range of single-phase industrial loads. Because this version is supplied without a back box, installers can integrate the switched socket into an appropriate compatible enclosure or distribution arrangement to suit the application.
Typical Applications
- 230 V industrial machinery and equipment.
- Workshop power distribution systems.
- Manufacturing and assembly facilities.
- Machine power connection and isolation points.
- Industrial panels and distribution enclosures.
- OEM machinery and production installations.
