Round-Earth Pin Configuration

The SC310L's three pins are arranged as two flat pins (active and neutral) and one round earth pin. This round-earth configuration accepts a matching plug and is used where this specific pin pattern is called for, distinguishing it from a standard all-flat-pin socket. The round earth keys the connection so only the correct plug fits.

A Weatherproof Fixed Outlet

Rated IP66, the SC310L is dust-tight and protected against high-pressure water jets, suiting outdoor and wash-down sites. As a fixed socket outlet it has no integral switch, so isolation is handled upstream at the switchboard or by a separate switch where required.

Built to Last

Moulded from PCA18 virgin-grade plastic with 316 stainless steel springs and screws and high-copper brass internals, the SC310L is built for long service in exposed and demanding locations, and is covered by Australian/NZ approval or compliance certificates.

Q: What does the round earth on the GEN3 SC310L mean?
A: The socket has two flat pins (active and neutral) and one round earth pin. It accepts a matching round-earth plug, rather than a standard all-flat-pin plug.

Q: Does the SC310L have a switch?
A: No. It is a fixed socket outlet with no integral switch. For an outlet with a built-in switch, the switched socket (CO-series) range is the alternative.

Q: Is the SC310L suitable for outdoor use?
A: Yes. It is rated IP66, meaning it is dust-tight and protected against high-pressure water jets, suitable for outdoor and wash-down environments.
