Mennekes Appliance Inlets

Appliance inlets conforming to the latest requirements of British and European standards. The insulator outer casing and interiors are manufactured from Amaplast (nylon 6) for excellent mechanical performance from -25°C → +55°C (ambient temperature). This material provides good electrical insulation and will meet the requirements of most industrial environments.,Contact tubes and pins are made of brass. To prevent incorrect connection, the earth contact is in a different position, relative to the safety key way on each socket outlet, for each voltage. All types are colour coded by voltage and are suitable for 50 / 60Hz operation.

Menneekes 16 Amp and 32 Amp IP44 Wall Mounted Appliance Inlets

From Mennekes, a series of IP44 splash proof industrial wall mounting appliance inlets that are robust, reliable and easy to connect. The angled inlets feature simple screw connections allowing for rapid connection in the field. Metric cable entry points at the top and bottom supporting flexible installation. Constructed from a heavy-duty Amaplast casing including nickel plated contacts with high heat resistant contact carriers supporting excellent corrosion resistance. These Mennekes industrial BS4343 power inlets perform exceptionally well in the most demanding environments.

What is Amaplast?

Amaplast is a superior quality, toughened thermoplastic material with excellent characteristics. Making them virtually unbreakable. The key points are;

• Abrasion resistant
• Self-extinguishing
• Heat resistant
• Resistant to cold temperatures
• Wear resistant
• Good electrical insulation

Environmental Protection – IP Rating

Mennekes IP44 wall mounting appliance inlets are designed in accordance with BS EN 60529. The IP rating is composed of two numbers. The first number refers to protection from solid matter, the second number for protection against liquids. The higher the number the better the protection. See technical datasheets for full definitions.
