CEE Straight Panel Sockets

A CEE straight panel socket is a CEE standard socket, also called a flat machine socket, mounted by its flange in a cutout in a panel door or machine housing, with the socket opening perpendicular to the sheet surface. It provides an outlet point for plug-in loads in distribution panels, construction site and socket panels, machine housings and generator outputs; the conductor connection stays inside the panel. This category offers TP Elektrik, Bemis, Bals and PCE sockets at 16 A, 32 A, 63 A and 125 A currents, in IP44 and IP67 ratings, with screw or quick connection; one-piece housing, nut-fixed and black housing types are also available. Select the socket according to the rated current, pole arrangement, clock position and IP rating, then verify with the product drawing that the flange size fits the panel cutout. The values given in parentheses in TP Elektrik product names, such as 70x70 and 83x90, indicate the flange size. A straight panel socket cannot be used surface-mounted on its own and does not replace a wall socket, because the connection terminals at the back are protected only inside a panel or box.
