QIXING QX826 CEE Form 3 Pin 16A Panel Mount Inlet IEC 60309 IP67

Description

A compact weatherproof panel-mount inlet.

The QIXING QX826 is a CEE Form appliance inlet rated 3 pin, 16A, 230V single phase, with an IP67 weatherproof rating. It is a panel-mounted IEC 60309-2 inlet – the connector fixed through a cut-out in an enclosure or panel so that a matching CEE Form lead or connector can be plugged in to supply power. These are European-standard industrial connectors conforming to EN/IEC 60309-2, used wherever a robust, weatherproof power 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 a Panel-Mount Appliance Inlet Does

An appliance inlet is the male connector mounted onto a piece of equipment, allowing a matching CEE Form lead or extension socket to be plugged in and supply power. The QX826 is the panel-mount version: it fits through a cut-out so the body sits inside the enclosure and the connector face is flush with the panel. A surface-mount style is also available where the inlet mounts onto the outside of an enclosure.

Weatherproof and Compact

Rated IP67, the QX826 is protected against dust and the effects of temporary immersion in water, making it suitable for outdoor, wash-down and demanding industrial locations. At 16A it suits lighter single-phase equipment, and its compact body fits neatly into smaller enclosures. As an IEC 60309-2 connector it follows the international pin-and-sleeve standard, so it interconnects 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 inlet only connects with a matching lead of the correct voltage rating and configuration.

Q: What is the QX826 appliance inlet used for?
A: It is the male connector fixed through an enclosure panel so a matching CEE Form lead or socket can plug in to supply power. The QX826 is the panel-mount, 3 pin 16A version.

Q: What is the difference between the QX826 and the QX1003?
A: The QX826 is panel mount (flush through a cut-out) while the QX1003 is surface mount (onto the outside of an enclosure). Both are 3 pin 16A 230V IP67 inlets.

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