QIXING QX562 CEE Form 5 Pin 32A Extension Socket IEC 60309 IP67

Description

A weatherproof three-phase in-line socket with neutral.

The QIXING QX562 is a CEE Form extension socket rated 5 pin, 32A, 400V three 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 QX300) to extend a power run. The 5 pin configuration carries three phases, neutral and earth, suiting three-phase equipment that also requires a neutral. 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 its voltage band, helping prevent connection to an incompatible supply. Brand supplied based on availability.

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 QX562 is the 32A three-phase version with a neutral, a step up from the 16A for heavier three-phase loads. It mates with a matching 5 pin 32A plug such as the QX300.

Three Phase with Neutral

With five pins carrying three phases, neutral and earth, the QX562 supplies three-phase equipment at 400V and 32A where a neutral is also required. Rated IP67, it 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 connector’s 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 QX562 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 QX300) to extend a three-phase power run. The QX562 is the 5 pin 32A version, with a neutral.

Q: What is the difference between the 5 pin QX562 and the 4 pin QX556?
A: The QX562 has 5 pins (three phases, neutral and earth), while the QX556 has 4 pins (three phases and earth, no neutral). Both are 32A 400V extension sockets.

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.
