Multi-Contact Sockets
A multi-contact socket is a rectangular-housing connector half, sold with the female-contact insert placed in its housing, that receives the pins of a multi-contact plug. It is found at panel outputs, on machine housings and at the ends of supply cables; because its contacts stay inside the recess, a socket is generally used on the supply side, which could remain live when the connection is separated. Here, machine, wall, extension and angled sockets are listed in arrangements such as 5x10A, 6x16A, 16x16A, 24x16A, 6x35A and 4/2x80/16A, with hinged-cover, sealed and metal-latch models. First determine the same contact arrangement and current as the plug, then compare the mounting style, single or double cable entry, number of latches and housing material. The machine-type socket is screwed into a mounting opening cut in a panel or machine sheet, the wall type is mounted on a surface and takes the cable through the cable gland entry on its housing, and the extension type is used at the end of a cable. A multi-contact socket is not a power strip that supplies several plugs; it is the female half of a single multi-core connection.

How to choose Multi-Contact Sockets
A multi-contact socket is a rectangular-housing connector half, sold with the female-contact insert placed in its housing, that receives the pins of a multi-contact plug. It is found at panel outputs, on machine housings and at the ends of supply cables; because its contacts stay inside the recess, a socket is generally used on the supply side, which could remain live when the connection is separated.
- 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.
