GEN3 SCA315 3 Pin 15A Auto Switched Surface Socket Outlet IP66 Flat

Description

A self-switching 15A weatherproof socket, base included.

The GEN3 SCA315 is a 3-pin, 15A 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. The 15A rating accepts larger appliances and equipment fitted with a 15A plug. Built in the Series 56 style from durable PCA18 virgin-grade plastic, it suits outdoor, industrial and wash-down environments where a rugged, weatherproof socket is needed.

Automatic Switching – No Separate Switch

The SCA315'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.

15A for Larger Loads

The 15A rating, with its wider earth pin, accepts 15A plugs used on higher-draw equipment such as caravans, compressors and large portable appliances, where the 10A SCA310 would not suit. It delivers the same auto-switching convenience and weatherproof build at the higher current rating.

With Base or Less Base

The SCA315 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 SCA315LB ("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.

Q: What does auto-switched mean on the GEN3 SCA315?
A: It has a built-in automatic switching mechanism, so the outlet isolates without needing a separate switch installed beside it.

Q: What is the difference between the SCA315 and the SCA310?
A: The current rating. The SCA315 is 15A with a wider earth pin for 15A plugs and larger appliances; the SCA310 is 10A. Both are auto-switched IP66 surface sockets.

Q: What is the difference between the SCA315 and the SCA315LB?
A: The SCA315 includes its mounting base for direct surface installation. The SCA315LB is "Less Base", the same socket without the base, for mounting onto an existing enclosure.
