Where the Tesla TESSSQC Quick Connect Surface Socket Fits
The Tesla TESSSQC is a purpose-built surface mount socket for lighting supply and false ceiling applications — the two installation contexts where a compact, easily wired, surface-fixed socket outlet is the correct solution. In false ceiling installations, the TESSSQC mounts directly to the ceiling structure or plenum framing above the suspended ceiling tiles, providing a dedicated plug-in supply point for lighting fixtures, LED drivers, emergency lighting units, and similar ceiling-mounted equipment without the need for a standard wall plate or wall box. The compact 70mm × 47mm × 46mm body fits into tight ceiling spaces where a standard GPO plate format would not be practical.
The quick connect rear wiring makes installation fast — the cable enters from the rear of the socket and terminates at colour-coded, clearly marked terminals. The colour coding (active, neutral, earth) and terminal markings reduce wiring errors during installation, particularly in overhead locations where working conditions can be awkward. The cable tie mounting option on the base is a practical alternative to screw fixing in locations where drilling into the mounting surface is not preferred — the socket can be secured with cable ties through the mounting holes on the base for a clean, tool-light installation.
The 25 year warranty reflects the quality of the TESSSQC construction — a significant warranty for a product designed for concealed, long-term service in ceiling spaces.
Q: What is the TESSSQC Quick Connect Surface Socket used for?
A: The TESSSQC is primarily used as a dedicated supply socket for lighting in false ceiling installations — providing a surface-mounted plug-in connection point for ceiling-mounted lighting fixtures, LED drivers, and similar equipment above suspended ceilings. It is also used wherever a compact, quick-wiring surface socket is needed for a dedicated 10A supply point.
Q: What cable sizes does the TESSSQC accept?
A: The TESSSQC accepts 1mm² to 2.5mm² solid or stranded conductors compliant with AS/NZS 5000.2.
Q: Can the TESSSQC be mounted without screws?
A: Yes — the mounting base has numerous holes suitable for cable tie mounting as an alternative to screw fixing. This is useful in applications where drilling into the mounting surface is not appropriate.
