MENNEKES Socket Switchable IP67 3+N+E, Earthing Position 6h Straight Industrial Interlock, 63A, 400V

X-CONTACT;Due to a completely new manufacturing process, the X-CONTACT® sleeve obtains resilient properties based solely on its material characteristics, without the need to use any additional spring elements. Thanks to the shape of the X-CONTACT® sleeve, a particularly safe contact closure can be achieved.
The special design of the X-CONTACT® reduces the effort of insertion and withdrawal by up to 50%. An advantage that simplifies work processes and improves safety especially with high electrical currents. With X-CONTACT®, MENNEKES creates a safe contact closure and easy handling at a new, equally high level.
But how does X-CONTACT® achieve these benefits even with currents of 63 A or 125 A? A glance into the opening of an X-CONTACT® sleeve reveals the intelligent functional principle: the X-shaped slot and groove in the inner wall provides four advantages of the new design: innovative, simple, durable and safe. We call it the X principle

• Switch cannot be energised until the plug is inserted
• Plug cannot be withdrawn with the switch in the ON position, which prolongs contact life
• 16A - 63A can be padlocked in the OFF position
• Housings are moulded from thermoplastic materials, giving insulation, strength and durability properties
• Continuous polyurethane gasket between lid and base
• Neutral block must be removed first before fitting auxillary contact block
