Built for Australian Industry

The 56 Series is a long-standing benchmark for rugged three-phase connection across Australian industry. The 50A rating steps up from lighter-duty outlets, suiting larger loads where a standard socket simply isn't enough. Its polycarbonate body resists impact and UV, so it holds up outdoors and in unconditioned sheds where cheaper fittings crack or discolour over time.

The four round pin, 3P + E arrangement delivers three-phase power plus earth through a single robust connection. Integrated switching lets operators isolate the connected load before any plug is inserted or withdrawn, which reduces arcing and keeps switching under control on higher-current circuits.

Sealed Against the Elements

An IP66 rating means complete dust protection combined with resistance to powerful water jets from any direction. That makes the 56C450-GY a natural fit for wash-down bays, exposed external walls, dusty yards and other spots where moisture and debris would quickly compromise a lesser socket. The sealed housing keeps the internal contacts dry and the connection reliable shift after shift.

Terminals accept cables from 10 to 16 mm², giving installers room to land the heavier conductors that a 50A three-phase circuit typically calls for. Surface mounting keeps installation straightforward on walls, posts and equipment frames.

Compliance You Can Trust

Manufactured to AS/NZS 3123 and AS/NZS 3133, the 56C450-GY meets the relevant Australian standards for industrial socket outlets. It carries an operating temperature range of -25 to 75°C and is backed by an 18 month manufacturer warranty, so specifiers and electricians can fit it with confidence on compliant installations.

Because the 56 Series has been specified on Australian sites for decades, replacement plugs, enclosures and matching accessories are widely stocked, making maintenance and expansion straightforward down the track.
