Why it Matters

The chemical resistant option
This variant is finished in Clipsal's chemical resistant orange, distinguishing it from the standard grey 56 Series socket. The orange body and its high-visibility colour make it easy to identify on site. As an automatic switching socket — a 2-pole mechanism that switches the outlet as a plug is inserted or withdrawn — it is designed for demanding industrial duty.

Built for harsh environments
The 56 Series is Clipsal's heavy-duty industrial range. This socket carries an IP66 rating to AS 60529, so it is dust-tight and protected against powerful water jets, and with a -25 to 75 °C operating range and polycarbonate body it holds up where standard socket outlets would not. Supplied less enclosure, the socket mechanism fits into your own housing, panel or custom assembly, giving installers flexibility on compact or non-standard setups.

Australian industrial standards
The socket is built to AS/NZS 3112 and AS/NZS 4417.1 and conforms to EN 60309-2, the international standard for industrial plugs and sockets. It is configured as 1P + N + E, socket-outlet type A, with a straight body shape, targeted for the Australian market. Screw terminals accept 1.5 to 6 mm² rigid or stranded cable, with a cable entry range of 9 to 29 mm. The mechanism is mercury free and PVC free, and holds Green Premium status.
