CEE Adapters

A CEE adapter is a converting connection element with a CEE standard plug at one end and a socket of a different current or contact count at the other, which allows a different type of plug to be connected to an existing socket. At construction sites, workshops, fairs and stage setups, it is used to make a temporary connection without changing the fixed installation when the available socket and the device plug do not match. In this category, Bemis CEE standard adapters come with IP44 protection rating in conversions such as 5/16A plug to 3/16A socket, 4/16A plug to 4/32A socket and 5/32A plug to 5/16A socket, and Bylion products with a 2 m cable. Choose the adapter by the plug side that fits the supply socket, the socket side that fits the device plug, the contact count and the IP protection rating. The 5/16A designation in the product name means a five-contact 16 A connection, and 4/32A means a four-contact 32 A connection. An adapter does not increase the current capacity of the line and cannot replace a socket installed for the required current: even if you go from a 16 A plug to a 32 A socket, the current that can be drawn remains limited by the supply line and its fuse.
