Why it Matters

Built for harsh Australian environments
The IP66 rating protects against dust ingress and powerful water jets, while the -25 to 75°C operating window keeps the socket working through temperature extremes that would defeat lesser gear. The polycarbonate cover resists impact, so it holds up on exposed walls, in washdown areas, and across sites where knocks are part of everyday life. For installers, that means fewer callbacks and a connection point that stays sealed season after season.

Serious three-phase capacity
Rated 500V AC at 50A across a 3P + E pin layout, the 56SO450-GY is made for heavy three-phase loads. The screw terminals accept 10–16 mm² rigid or stranded conductors, giving room to route substantial cabling cleanly. At roughly 101 by 107 by 102 mm and just 0.6 kg, it stays compact and manageable on the wall while still handling serious current. It is a straightforward, dependable outlet for connecting heavy equipment on industrial and commercial sites where a secure, weatherproof connection matters.

Trusted 56 Series pedigree
This surface socket is part of Clipsal's long-serving 56 Series, a range that Australian electricians have specified and installed for decades. That familiarity means predictable fit, proven durability, and easy integration with the wider 56 Series ecosystem. The socket-outlet body is finished in grey, with brass contacts for reliable, low-resistance connections. Manufactured to AS/NZS 3112 and backed by an 18-month warranty, it is a specification you can commit to with confidence.
