Industrial CEE Panel Socket AS Schwabe 60440 — 16A 5‑pole 400V panel-mounted connector

AS Schwabe 60440 CEE panel socket is a panel-mounted industrial connector rated for 16A and five poles at 400V. Intended for fixed installation in control panels, distribution boxes and equipment housings, the recessed design ensures a secure mains connection while reducing accidental disconnection and exposure. The product is built to meet common industrial requirements for robust electrical connections in workshops, event installations and permanent power distribution points.

Advantages

The panel-mounted construction provides a stable and flush fit in panels and enclosures, minimising mechanical stress on connected cables. A five-pole configuration supports three-phase power with neutral and earth conductors for standard industrial circuits. The connector housing and contacts are manufactured to resist frequent use and offer reliable contact performance over many cycles. Installation compatibility with standard cutouts allows straightforward replacement or upgrade of existing panel sockets.

Key specifications

How to use

Cut an appropriately sized and positioned opening in the panel according to the manufacturer's panel cutout dimensions, secure the socket body to the panel with the provided fastenings, and make internal terminations to the incoming cable or busbar using properly rated conductors. Ensure that all connections are tightened to the recommended torque values and that earth/ground is connected correctly. After installation, test the connection with a suitable instrument to verify correct phase sequence and continuity before placing the circuit into service.

Recommendations

Use only with compatible CEE plugs rated for 16 A and 400 V. Regularly inspect contacts and housing for signs of wear, corrosion or damage, and replace the socket if any defects are found. Comply with local electrical codes and use qualified personnel for installation and maintenance to ensure safe and reliable operation.
