Straight, Round-Pin Connection

The PLS3PH550 is the straight, in-line version of the five-pin 50A plug, sending the cable straight out the back. It's the simple choice where a straight lead exit suits the installation. For tight spots or surface runs where the cable needs to turn away, the angled PLA3PH550 is the alternative.

Five-Pin Three-Phase, Built Tough

The five round pins carry three-phase power with a neutral (three actives, neutral and earth) rated to 500V, with a 50A current rating for the largest three-phase equipment in the straight range that also needs a neutral connection. It is IP66 rated, so 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.

Fast, Interchangeable Termination

A compression gland makes cable termination quick and secure on site. Because it follows the 56 Series-style format, the PLS3PH550 mates with 50A five-pin three-phase round sockets and inlets and is interchangeable with other major brands. Pair it with a matching 5-pin 50A extension socket to build a complete three-phase extension lead.

Q: How is the GEN3 PLS3PH550 wired?
A: It is a five-pin three-phase plug — three actives, a neutral and an earth — rated 50A at 500V, for three-phase circuits that require a neutral.

Q: What is the difference between the PLS3PH550 and the PLA3PH550?
A: They are the same 50A five-pin three-phase plug, but the PLS3PH550 is straight (cable exits in-line) and the PLA3PH550 is angled at 45 degrees.

Q: Is the GEN3 PLS3PH550 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.
