QIXING QX540 CEE Form 3 Pin 16A Extension Socket IEC 60309 IP67

Description

A weatherproof single-phase in-line socket.

The QIXING QX540 is a CEE Form extension socket rated 3 pin, 16A, 230V single phase, with an IP67 weatherproof rating. It is the female in-line connector – fitted to the end of a flexible lead, it receives a matching plug (such as the QX278) to extend a power run. These are European-standard industrial connectors conforming to EN/IEC 60309-2, used wherever a robust, weatherproof connection is required. The 6h clock position keys the connector to the standard single-phase voltage band, helping prevent connection to an incompatible supply.

What an Extension Socket Does

An extension socket is the female in-line connector fitted to the end of a flexible lead. It receives a matching plug to extend a power run, and is the trailing partner to the plugs and inlets in the range. The QX540 is the entry 16A single-phase version, used to build light-duty single-phase extension leads and power tails. It mates with a matching 3 pin 16A plug such as the QX278.

Weatherproof Single-Phase Connection

Rated 16A and IP67, the QX540 is protected against dust and the effects of temporary immersion in water, suiting outdoor, wash-down and demanding industrial locations. As an IEC 60309-2 connector it follows the international pin-and-sleeve standard, so it mates reliably with other IEC 60309 equipment of the same rating and configuration.

Keyed for Safety

The 6h clock position refers to the keyed position of the earth contact under IEC 60309, which corresponds to the standard single-phase voltage band. This keying helps ensure the socket only connects with a matching plug of the correct voltage rating and configuration.

Q: What is the QX540 used for?
A: It is the female in-line connector fitted to the end of a flexible lead. It receives a matching plug (such as the QX278) to extend a single-phase power run. The QX540 is the 3 pin 16A version.

Q: Is the QX540 single phase or three phase?
A: It is single phase. The 3 pin configuration is active, neutral and earth at 230V. Four and five pin versions are three phase.

Q: What does IP67 mean for this socket?
A: IP67 means it is fully protected against dust and can withstand temporary immersion in water, suiting outdoor and wash-down environments.
