Clipsal 56SO532-GY IP66 56 Series Surface Socket 500V 32A 5 Round Pin - Grey

Description

Serious three phase amperage for demanding loads.

The Clipsal 56SO532-GY is an IP66 rated surface-mount three phase socket outlet delivering 500V AC at 32A through five round pins. Purpose-built for heavier industrial machinery, larger motors, and installations where a 20A socket simply does not have the current headroom.

Why it Matters

Higher current for bigger equipment
The 32A rating gives significantly more headroom than the 20A equivalent, making the 56SO532-GY the right fit where higher current draw or larger cable is a factor. The five round pins carry three phase power plus neutral and earth, delivered through a socket outlet built to Australian industrial standards.

Larger terminals for larger cable
Where the 20A version accepts 2.5 to 6 mm² conductors, this 32A socket takes 4 up to 16 mm² rigid or stranded cable. That extra terminal capacity matches the higher current rating and gives installers room for the thicker conductors that a 32A circuit typically demands. Contacts are brass throughout, and the specified tightening torque of 0.8 N.m ensures consistent termination on site.

Weatherproof to IP66
The IP66 rating means the enclosure is completely sealed against dust ingress and can withstand powerful water jets from any direction. Combined with the -25°C to +75°C ambient operating window, the socket is suited to exposed outdoor mounting, wash-down environments, and installations where dust and moisture are constant considerations across the year.

Compliance and long-term reliability
Manufactured to AS/NZS 3112 and carrying Schneider Electric's Green Premium status, the 56SO532-GY comes with an 18 month manufacturer warranty. The ABS cover material resists impact and general wear, while the sealed surface-mount enclosure protects internal contacts and wiring over long service life. The environmental disclosure document ENVPEP2511024EN is available from the OEM for procurement records.

Q: What plug matches the Clipsal 56SO532-GY socket?
A: Any 500V 32A three phase plug with five round pins in the same 3P + N + E configuration, such as the Clipsal 56P532 straight plug or the 56PA532 angled plug from the same 56 Series range.

Q: What cable size can the 56SO532-GY accept?
A: The screw terminals accept rigid or stranded conductors from 4 mm² up to 16 mm² in cross-section, with a specified tightening torque of 0.8 N.m per terminal.

Q: What is the difference between the 20A and 32A five round pin sockets?
A: The 32A version provides higher current capacity for larger loads, uses larger 4 to 16 mm² terminals versus 2.5 to 6 mm², and features larger conduit entries to accommodate the thicker cable sizes typically required at 32A.
