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

PRO-ELEC 32A 2P+E Blue CEE Switched Socket is a 32 Amp, 240V AC surface-mount socket with an IP44 rating, designed for reliable industrial and outdoor use.

Overview

This switched socket includes an interlock feature: the switch cannot be turned to the 'on' position until a compatible IP44 plug is fully inserted, which helps prevent accidental exposure of live socket contacts. The plug and its protective cover cannot be removed while the switch is in the 'on' position.

Key Features

• Padlockable switch handle that secures the switch in the 'off' position
• Interlocked switch that requires a fully inserted plug before switching on
• IP44 rating, protected against splashing water from any direction
• Surface-mounted design for straightforward installation
• Blue colour coding for 240V applications
• Compliant with BS EN 60309-1 and -2 standards

Construction and Resistance

The socket is constructed from self-extinguishing thermoplastic, which provides durability and resistance to weak acids, weak alkalis, saline solutions, hydrocarbons, and UV light. These properties make it suitable for demanding environments.

Applications

The padlockable handle supports lock-out/tag-out (LOTO) procedures in workshops and industrial settings, helping to prevent unauthorised or accidental energisation of connected equipment. It is suited to construction sites, marine applications, and manufacturing facilities.
