Switched and Interlocked CEE Sockets

Switched and interlocked CEE sockets are surface-mounted CEE standard sockets that switch the power on and off with a switch on the housing and, in the interlocked types, mechanically link the switch and the plug. They are used in compressor and high-current machine supplies where the plug should not be inserted or removed under load. This category includes Bemis wall sockets with cam switches, wall plugs and interlock sockets, as well as PCE switched and TP Elektrik interlocked wall sockets at currents such as 16 A, 32 A, 63 A and 125 A, in IP44, IP65 and IP67 ratings; fused models and models with residual current protection are also available. Select the socket according to the rated current, pole arrangement, clock position and IP rating; determine the need for interlocking, fuse and residual current protection from the project data. In mechanically interlocked sockets, the switch cannot be moved to the 1 (ON) position until the plug is inserted, and the plug cannot be removed until the switch is moved to the 0 (OFF) position. A switched socket and an interlocked socket are not the same product: the switch only cuts the power, while the interlock prevents the plug from being pulled while the power is on.

How to choose Switched and Interlocked CEE Sockets

Switched and interlocked CEE sockets are surface-mounted CEE standard sockets that switch the power on and off with a switch on the housing and, in the interlocked types, mechanically link the switch and the plug. They are used in compressor and high-current machine supplies where the plug should not be inserted or removed under load.

  • Clarify whether the task is connection, cable routing, enclosure distribution or termination.
  • Match dimensions, thread standard, conductor cross-section and IP rating with the cable and panel.
  • Choose housing material and pack quantity according to the mounting environment.
