The GEN3 SCA310 is a 3-pin, 10A auto-switched surface socket outlet rated 250V and IP66, supplied complete with its mounting base for direct surface installation. Its automatic switching mechanism means no separate switch is required – the outlet isolates automatically – saving space and wiring.

Automatic Switching – No Separate Switch

The SCA310's built-in automatic switching mechanism isolates the socket without the need for a separate switch beside it. This simplifies the installation and reduces the number of components on the wall, while still giving the safe isolation of a switched outlet. It is a practical choice for outdoor and industrial points where a clean, single-unit socket is preferred.

With Base or Less Base

The SCA310 is the complete version, supplied with its mounting base so it can be fixed directly to a wall or surface. If you are mounting onto an existing back box or enclosure, the SCA310LB ("Less Base") provides the same socket without the base. Choosing the right version avoids paying for a base you do not need, or being left without one you do.

Built for the Outdoors

Rated IP66, the SCA310 is dust-tight and withstands high-pressure water jets, and operates across a −25°C to +70°C range. Moulded from PCA18 virgin-grade plastic with 316 stainless steel springs and screws and high-copper brass internals, it is built for long service in exposed and demanding locations, and is covered by Australian/NZ approval or compliance certificates.

Q: What does auto-switched mean on the GEN3 SCA310?

Q: What is the difference between the SCA310 and the SCA310LB?
A: The SCA310 includes its mounting base for direct surface installation. The SCA310LB is "Less Base", the same socket without the base, for mounting onto an existing enclosure.

Q: Is the GEN3 SCA310 suitable for outdoor use?
A: Yes. It is rated IP66, meaning it is dust-tight and protected against high-pressure water jets, suitable for outdoor and wash-down environments.
