CEE Receptacle IP67 16Amp Socket 3-Pin Panel Mount Receptacle - Outside Socket Waterproof Angle Type Connector for Secure Power Connections

This socket is designed to mount in a panel rather than on it. The socket itself will go through a 55x55mm round or 50x55mm elliptical hole, with fixing screws on 60mm (horizontal) by 61mm (vertical) fixing centres and an overall front plate size of 76x87mm. A rubber gasket sits between the socket and the surface it's mounted on to maintain waterproofing, but there's nothing to stop you using silicone sealant as well. The socket is angled slightly downwards, reducing the amount by which a plug will stick out when inserted and helping the socket shed water if it gets wet.It accepts a standard 16A blue-top three-pin IEC60309 (BS4343) plug with the resulting connection splashproof to IP44, but if used in conjunction with a weatherproof version of the plug it comes into its own, as these have a locking collar which turns to clamp and seal the plug to the socket for weatherproofing to IP67. When not in use the spring-loaded cover also has a collar and rubber gasket to lock and seal the socket.Termination at the rear is via combination flat/slotted screws, with one screw in each line terminal and a pair for the earth.It may find use replacing and upgrading damaged sockets on portable generators, but if replacing a straight one with this angled one check that there's room for any alteration to mounting holes and that you have at least 37mm of clearance in the 20mm diameter centre of the 55mm hole, as that's how far back the socket sits.
