Built for Australian Industry

This 56 Series outlet is engineered for the most demanding sites, where high-power equipment faces moisture, dust and impact. The IP66 rating means it withstands powerful water jets and total dust ingress, making it well suited to exposed outdoor installations and washdown-prone areas. The switched design lets an operator break the circuit before a plug is inserted or withdrawn, an important safety step when working with three-phase loads at 32A.

Robust Construction

The moulded ABS housing resists impact and the effects of weather over long service life, while phosphor bronze contacts maintain a dependable electrical connection. The screw terminals clamp conductors from 6 mm² through to 16 mm², matching the heavier cable sizes required for 32A circuits for a firm, low-resistance termination.

Reliable Three-Phase Connection

Configured as four round pins (three phase plus earth), the 56C432-GY suits fixed and portable three-phase equipment operating at 500V. Surface mounting simplifies installation on walls, posts and switchboards, and the wide operating temperature band of -25°C to 75°C covers the range seen across Australian sites, from cold early mornings to hot enclosed plant rooms.

Typical Applications

Because it combines switching, weatherproofing and a rugged enclosure in one unit, the 56C432-GY is a practical choice wherever high-current three-phase equipment is connected and disconnected in the field. Surface mounting keeps the outlet accessible for maintenance, and the sealed body protects the internals long after installation. Terminating to standard 6-16 mm² conductors keeps wiring tidy and compliant with the referenced AS/NZS standards.
