Why it Matters

Built for harsh conditions
The IP66 rating means the enclosure is fully protected against dust and powerful water jets, so this socket holds up in exposed outdoor locations, washdown areas and dusty industrial sites. The ABS housing operates reliably across an ambient range of -25 to 75°C, making it a dependable choice where standard power points would not survive. Phosphor bronze pins provide durable, low-resistance contact for a long service life, and the integrated switch means each outlet can be isolated locally.

Higher 15A capacity
Rated at 15A, this outlet suits heavier loads than a standard 10A point, making it well matched to larger portable equipment and appliances that draw more current. Surface mounting with screw terminals rated for 1.5-6mm² conductors keeps wiring secure under vibration, and the 2 x M20 / 1 x M25 conduit entries give flexible cable routing for a range of installations. At 204mm high by 101mm wide and 83mm deep, it mounts neatly onto walls, posts and plant without crowding the surrounding space.

Australian-standard power
Manufactured to AS/NZS 3133 and AS/NZS 3123, this 56 Series outlet meets Australian requirements for weatherproof socket outlets. The 3 flat pin format accepts standard Australian 15A plugs, and the grey housing is a familiar sight across industrial, utility and commercial installations. As a mains-connected device, it should be installed by a licensed electrician to meet the wiring rules.
