Screw terminals with captive screws enable hassle-free, secure wiring. Rated for 16A and a voltage range of 380-415V AC, the socket is ideal for three-phase connections in machine panels and power distribution boards, facilitating quick and reliable assembly.
FAQ's of PKF16F435-PratiKa socket - screw - angled - 16A - 3P + N + E - 380...415 V AC - panel:
Q: How do I connect cables to the PKF16F435-PratiKa socket?
A: To connect cables, use the screw terminal connections provided. The captive terminal screws ensure easy and secure wiring-tighten the screws to 0.8 Nm torque for optimal conductivity and safety.
Q: What applications is this socket primarily used for?
A: The socket is intended for industrial power distribution, machinery, and panel assemblies requiring a secure three-phase plus neutral and earth connection. It's suitable for factory, workshop, and other high-load environments in India.
Q: When should I choose an angled socket design like this one?
A: Choose the angled design for installations where space is constrained or where easier cable access is needed, such as tight panel layouts or when quick connection and disconnection are frequent requirements.
Q: Where can the PKF16F435-PratiKa socket be installed?
A: It is engineered for panel mounting and can be installed in electrical panels, distribution boxes, and machine consoles. The IP44 rating makes it suitable for environments exposed to dust and water splashes, but not for continuous submersion.
Q: What protection features does this socket offer?
A: It is equipped with a heat-resistant, flame-retardant housing (V2 rating), impact resistance (IK08), and enhanced mechanical protection. The IP44 ingress rating also safeguards against dust and water splashes, ensuring safe industrial operation.
Q: How does the socket withstand industrial conditions?
A: With a robust PA6 housing, captive screws, and resistance to high relative humidity (up to 95%), the socket is built for durability. It tolerates temperatures from -25C to +40C and endures high-voltage conditions up to 2000V AC/min.
