Why it Matters

Built for Australian conditions
The 56 Series has been the go-to weatherproof range on Australian sites for decades. The polycarbonate housing, IP66 seal and wide -25 to 75 °C operating window mean the 56SO550-GY keeps working through sun, rain, dust and dirt without needing extra shelter or an additional enclosure.

Three-phase capacity without compromise
At 500V AC 50A across 3P + N + E, this outlet is rated for genuine industrial loads. The generous 10-16 mm² screw terminal capacity gives sparkies room to land heavy conductors cleanly, while the 2 x M25 and 1 x M32 conduit entries suit a wide range of cable and gland setups. A 0.8 N.m tightening torque is specified for consistent, secure terminations.

Compliance and confidence
Manufactured to AS/NZS 3112 and backed by an 18-month manufacturer warranty, the 56SO550-GY is a Green Premium listed product with a PVC-free, mercury-free build. That means one less thing to think about when specifying to standard, and a socket that stands up to daily industrial use.

Q: Is the Clipsal 56SO550-GY suitable for outdoor installation?
A: Yes. It is IP66 rated for dust-tight and high-pressure water jet protection, with an ambient operating range of -25 to 75 °C, making it suitable for exposed outdoor and wash-down environments.

Q: What cable sizes does the 56SO550-GY accept?
A: The screw terminals accept 10-16 mm² rigid or stranded cable, and the enclosure provides 2 x M25 and 1 x M32 conduit entries.

Q: What pin configuration does this socket use?
A: The 56SO550-GY uses 5 round pins in a 3P + N + E arrangement (three phases, neutral and earth) for 500V 50A three-phase supply.
