PRO-ELEC 32A 2P+E Blue CEE Switched Socket, IP44, Surface Mount

The PRO-ELEC 32A 2P+E Blue CEE Switched Socket is a robust, IP44-rated power connector designed for reliable industrial and outdoor use. Its switched design incorporates a critical safety feature: the switch cannot be turned to the 'on' position until a compatible IP44 plug is fully inserted. This prevents accidental live socket exposure, enhancing user safety significantly.

Further safety is assured as the plug and its protective cover cannot be removed while the switch is in the 'on' position. The padlockable handle allows you to secure the switch in the 'off' position, providing an additional layer of safety by preventing unauthorised or accidental energisation of connected equipment. This is an essential feature for lock-out/tag-out (LOTO) procedures in workshops and industrial settings.

Constructed from high-quality, self-extinguishing thermoplastic, this socket offers excellent durability and chemical resistance. It withstands exposure to weak acids, weak alkalis, saline solutions, hydrocarbons, and UV light, making it suitable for demanding environments such as construction sites, marine applications, and manufacturing facilities.

The socket is surface-mounted for straightforward installation and features the distinctive blue colour coding for 240V applications. It is fully compliant with BS EN 60309-1 and -2 standards, guaranteeing its safety and performance for professional electrical installations.
