QIXING QX278 CEE Form 3 Pin 16A Extension Plug IEC 60309 IP67

Description

A compact weatherproof industrial plug.

The QIXING QX278 is a CEE Form extension plug rated 3 pin, 16A, 230V single phase, with an IP67 weatherproof rating. It is a straight IEC 60309-2 plug – the male connector fitted to the end of a flexible lead, which plugs into a matching CEE Form socket or connector to draw power. These are European-standard industrial connectors conforming to EN/IEC 60309-2, used wherever a robust, weatherproof connection is required. The 6h clock position keys the connector to the standard single-phase voltage band, helping prevent connection to an incompatible supply.

What an Extension Plug Does

An extension plug is the male connector fitted to the end of a flexible lead. It plugs into a matching CEE Form socket or connector to draw power, and is the partner to the in-line connectors and socket outlets in the range. The QX278 is the straight version, with the cable entering in line with the body. It suits assembling single-phase extension leads and power tails for general industrial use.

Weatherproof and Compact

Rated IP67, the QX278 is protected against dust and the effects of temporary immersion in water, making it suitable for outdoor, wash-down and demanding industrial locations. At 16A with a compact body, it is well suited to lighter single-phase leads. 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 standard single-phase voltage band. This keying helps ensure the plug only connects with a matching socket of the correct voltage rating and configuration.

Q: What is the QX278 plug used for?
A: It is the male connector fitted to the end of a flexible lead, which plugs into a matching CEE Form socket or connector to draw power. The QX278 is the straight, 3 pin 16A version.

Q: Is the QX278 single phase or three phase?
A: It is single phase. The 3 pin configuration is active, neutral and earth at 230V. Four and five pin versions are three phase.

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