QIXING QX1457 Panel Mount Straight Socket 4 Pin 125A IEC 60309 IP67

Description

The highest-rated straight panel socket.

The QIXING QX1457 is a CEE Form panel-mount straight socket rated 4 pin, 125A, 400V three phase, with an IP67 weatherproof rating. It is a fixed socket – mounted through a panel or wall face – with the inlet facing straight out, so the connected plug projects directly outward from the panel. The 4 pin configuration carries three phases and earth, with no neutral, suiting heavy three-phase equipment. These are European-standard industrial connectors conforming to EN/IEC 60309-2, used wherever a robust, weatherproof, panel-mounted connection is required. At 125A this is the highest-rated socket in the straight range.

What a Straight Panel Socket Does

A panel-mount socket is a fixed socket installed through a wall or panel face, with the contacts facing outward to receive a plug. The straight version sets the inlet perpendicular to the panel, so the plug and its trailing cable project directly outward. The QX1457 is the highest-rated 125A three-phase version, used as a fixed connection point on distribution boards, equipment panels, pillars and walls. Where the connected lead needs to exit at an angle instead, an angled panel socket is used.

High-Current Three Phase

With four pins carrying three phases and earth, the QX1457 supplies three-phase equipment at 400V and 125A without a neutral. This makes it suited to heavy three-phase loads such as large motors, distribution and site power. Rated IP67, it is protected against dust and the effects of temporary immersion in water, making it suitable for outdoor, wash-down and demanding industrial locations. As an IEC 60309-2 connector it follows the international pin-and-sleeve standard, so it mates reliably with other IEC 60309 equipment of the same rating and configuration.

Keyed for Safety

The 6h clock position refers to the keyed position of the earth contact under IEC 60309, which corresponds to the connector’s voltage band. This keying helps ensure the socket only connects with a matching plug of the correct voltage rating and configuration.

Q: What is the QX1457 used for?
A: It is a panel or wall-mounted fixed socket with the inlet facing straight out, used as a high-current three-phase connection point on panels, boards and walls. The QX1457 is the 4 pin 125A version.

Q: How is a straight panel socket different from an angled one?
A: A straight panel socket has the inlet facing directly out from the panel, so the plug projects straight outward. An angle socket sets the inlet at 45 degrees, so the plug and cable exit at an angle. The choice depends on the clearance and cable routing at the installation.

Q: What does IP67 mean for this socket?
A: IP67 means it is fully protected against dust and can withstand temporary immersion in water, suiting outdoor and wash-down environments.
