Device description

DIN Rail Industrial Socket

Industrial power socket-outlet in DIN rail format for standardized connections, including IEC 60309 systems.

An industrial DIN rail socket is intended for higher loads and more specialized power connections than ordinary service socket-outlets.

For IEC 60309 versions, electrical compatibility is defined by pole count, rated current and voltage, colour coding, and the clock position of the keying contact.

Some models include pilot contacts for auxiliary circuits and mechanical or electrical interlocking functions.

Selection criteria include rated characteristics, pole count, IEC 60309 clock position, colour code, pilot contacts, interlocking, and compliance with IEC 60309-1/-2/-4.
