Product details
The IP163P gives you a 16A 230V connection that can be made and broken safely on the job. Europa's 3-pin IEC 60309 plug is rated splash-proof IP44 and glanded for flexible supply cable, which is what keeps a temporary or portable supply as sound as a fixed one.
Key features
- Rated 16A at 230V, 2P + E (3-pin), to the IEC 60309 industrial connector pattern
- IP44 splash-proof rating for sheltered, indoor and covered positions
- Single-phase wiring: line, neutral and earth
- Screw terminals and a cable gland sized for flexible supply cable, for a secure, strain-relieved termination
- Genuine Europa Components product, supplied direct at trade prices
Typical applications
This size is the everyday choice for hand tools, bench machinery, task lighting, small pumps and exhibitor or trader stands. IP44 suits sheltered positions - workshops, plant rooms, covered site areas - where splashing rather than standing water is the risk. Match the plug to the socket it will serve - same rating, pin count and voltage band - and size the cable and upstream protection for the load and the run length.
Compliance
Europa build this range to the IEC 60309 pattern (BS EN 60309-2 as adopted here), which sets the 3-pin arrangement and the blue coding for the 200-250V band - the reason kit from different suppliers connects without adaptors. IP44 means protection against solid objects larger than 1mm and against water splashed from any direction. The connector gives no overload or short-circuit protection itself; that stays with the protective device on the circuit feeding it, alongside the RCD protection BS 7671 requires.
