GEN3 SCO5P40 40 Amp 5 Pin Round Socket 56 Series Style IP66

Description

High-current three-phase socket, sealed to IP66.

The GEN3 SCO5P40 is a 40A three-phase industrial extension socket with five round pins and an IP66 weatherproof body. With a cable gland for quick termination, it's the rugged female end for building or repairing a high-current round-pin three-phase 40A lead that carries a neutral.

The Female End of the Lead

The SCO5P40 is the trailing socket that pairs with the GEN3 five-pin 40A plugs to make a complete three-phase extension lead — the straight PLS3PH540 or the angled PLA3PH540. It follows the 56 Series-style format, so it accepts 40A five-pin three-phase round plugs in a rugged IP66 weatherproof housing.

Five-Pin Three-Phase, Built Tough

The five-pin configuration carries three-phase power with a neutral (three actives, neutral and earth) rated to 500V, with a 40A rating for higher-draw three-phase equipment that also needs a neutral connection. IP66 protection means it is dust-tight and withstands powerful water jets from any direction, with a virgin-grade PCA18 body, 316 stainless steel springs and screws, and brass contacts of greater than 85% copper for lower heat rise. A wide -25°C to +70°C operating range and AS/NZS 3123:2005 compliance suit it to demanding Australian industrial sites.

Quick to Wire and Replace

A cable gland makes termination fast and secure, so it's a straightforward rewireable replacement socket for a damaged or worn 40A three-phase lead. It is interchangeable with other major brands and pairs with the matching GEN3 five-pin plug and appliance inlet to build or repair a complete lead.

Q: What plug does the GEN3 SCO5P40 accept?
A: It accepts 40A three-phase 5-pin round plugs, including the matching GEN3 PLS3PH540 (straight) and PLA3PH540 (angled), in a rugged IP66 weatherproof housing.

Q: How is the GEN3 SCO5P40 wired?
A: As a five-pin three-phase socket it connects three actives, a neutral and an earth, rated 40A at 500V, for three-phase circuits that require a neutral.

Q: Is the GEN3 SCO5P40 weatherproof?
A: Yes. It is IP66 rated, meaning it is dust-tight and protected against powerful water jets, and it is built to AS/NZS 3123:2005 for industrial use.
