Modular Socket CNC TMS-5 EL240296 16A EU — 16 A, modular electrical outlet

Modular Socket CNC TMS-5 EL240296 is a 16 A European (Schuko) style modular outlet intended for mounting on a 35 mm DIN rail in distribution boards, control panels and modular frames. The unit provides two poles (phase and neutral) plus protective earth (2P+PE) for connecting single‑phase AC devices in auxiliary circuits. The housing is made of fire‑resistant plastic and the product meets IEC60884-1 requirements. Installation and wiring must be performed by qualified electrical personnel.

Advantages

The modular socket offers a compact DIN‑rail form factor with a 44 mm rail width, rated at 16 A and 220 V AC for standard single‑phase loads. It supports up to 25 mm² conductor cross‑section, allows top and bottom connections for flexible wiring, and provides an electrical service life of up to 5000 cycles. The IP20 protection class suits indoor electrical cabinets and control panels.

Suitable for

• Powering tools and portable equipment in workshops and labs
• Providing auxiliary outlets in distribution boards and control panels
• Industrial automation panels and modular switchboards
• Replacing or expanding modular outlet configurations in residential or light commercial systems
