Why it Matters

Five Pins, Including a Neutral

The pole configuration is 3P + N + E: three phases, a neutral and an earth, across five round pins. The socket-outlet type is R and the arrangement conforms to EN 60309-2. The unit is a straight, externally mounted cord extension socket rated 20 A at 500 V AC, 50 Hz.

What the Terminals and Gland Accept

Screw terminals on this socket accept conductors from 1 mm² to 6 mm², and the M25 gland seals cable with an outer diameter from 7 mm to 16 mm. Between them those two figures define the range of cable the connector can be terminated onto. The housing is polycarbonate and the contact sleeves are brass.

The socket is built to AS/NZS 3120 with an operating range of −25 °C to 75 °C and Australia as the targeted country. The voltage colour is black and the unit carries an 18 month warranty.
