SQE16655 Ilme Switched socket 16 amp 415v 5p IP55 without backbox

Why Choose the Ilme SQE1665.5 Interlocked Switched Socket?

The Ilme SQE1665.5 is a robust interlocked switched industrial socket-outlet designed for controlled connection and isolation of three-phase electrical equipment. Rated at 16 A and 200/346–240/415 V AC, it features a 5-pole, 3P+N+E configuration, a 6h earth-contact position and an IP55 degree of protection.

Part of the Ilme SQE series, the SQE1665.5 combines an industrial socket with a mechanically interlocked switching mechanism. The interlock prevents the switch from being closed when the plug is removed, prevents withdrawal of the plug while the switch is closed and prevents removal of the socket assembly while a plug is inserted, providing a controlled operating sequence for industrial equipment connections.

The SQE1665.5 is a panel-mounting version supplied without a back box and without a fuse carrier, allowing integration into compatible industrial distribution panels and enclosures. Its red voltage identification, self-extinguishing thermoplastic construction, IK08 impact rating and operating temperature range of -25 °C to +40 °C make it suitable for demanding machinery and power distribution applications.

Key Advantages

• Industrial 16 A interlocked switched socket for three-phase power distribution.
• 5-pole, 3P+N+E configuration provides three phases, neutral and protective earth.

Controlled Three-Phase Power Connection and Isolation

Interlocked switched socket-outlets combine industrial power connectivity with mechanical control of the switching sequence. On the Ilme SQE1665.5, the interlocking mechanism prevents the switch from being closed without a plug inserted and prevents normal plug withdrawal while the switch remains closed, helping ensure equipment is connected and disconnected in the intended operating sequence.

With its 16 A, 5-pole 3P+N+E arrangement and voltage rating extending to 240/415 V AC, the SQE1665.5 is particularly suitable for three-phase equipment that also requires a neutral conductor. Its panel-mounting design and IP55 protection make it a practical component for machinery, industrial distribution boards and other fixed power distribution assemblies.

Typical Applications

• 415 V three-phase industrial machinery.
• Manufacturing and production equipment.
• Industrial power distribution panels.
• Machine power connection and isolation points.
• Workshop and maintenance installations.
• OEM machinery and automated production systems.
