Military model

The Bals wall-mounted plug type 24013 is an industrial plug connector according to IEC 60309-2, designed for use in demanding environments. It features a rated current of 32 A, a pole count of 5 (3P+N+PE), and a rated voltage of 400 V (200/346–240/415 V~) at a frequency of 50/60 Hz. The IP67 protection rating ensures dust-tight and waterproof sealing, allowing the plug to be safely operated outdoors or in humid industrial environments. The identification color red (RAL 3000) indicates the voltage class and enables clear identification during plant operation.

Applications
This plug is designed for use in industrial facilities, workshops, construction sites, or outdoor environments where a robust, weather-resistant, and safe power supply is required. The IP67 protection rating makes it particularly suitable for environments with high splash water or dust exposure, such as in manufacturing, machine building, or construction. The 5-pole configuration (3P+N+PE) enables connection to three-phase networks with neutral and protective earth conductors.

Functions and Features in Detail
The plug features an angled insertion direction, enabling compact mounting on walls or equipment. Connections are made via screw terminals, ensuring a secure and durable contact. The maximum conductor cross-section is 6.0 mm², allowing connection to standard industrial cables. Cable entry is via an M25 socket at the top of the device, with one side open and the other side sealed at the rear. An integrated closure hood provides additional protection against contamination and moisture.

Technology Explained Simply
The contacts are made of nickel-plated brass, ensuring high electrical conductivity and corrosion resistance. The contact carrier is made of polyamide, a heat-resistant plastic that remains stable even under high loads. The enclosure is also made of polyamide and measures 75 mm (height) × 90 mm (width). The overall dimensions of the device are 148 mm (height) × 100 mm (width) × 125 mm (depth). The protective earth contact is positioned at 6 o’clock, enabling clear identification within the plug system.

Compatibility and Accessories
The plug is designed for connection with CEE connectors of the same standard (IEC 60309). It is compatible with matching CEE sockets and plugs of the 32 A class, 5-pole configuration, and red-marked voltage classes. The use of closure caps and cable sealing systems is already integrated to ensure the IP67 protection rating. No additional accessories are mentioned in the sources.

Installation and Mounting
Mounting is done on a wall or equipment enclosure. The angled insertion direction allows for space-saving installation. The screw terminals enable easy and secure connection of cables. Cable entry at the top of the device requires a corresponding hole or cable gland. The closure cap must be closed after installation to maintain the IP67 protection rating.

Operational Advantages
The plug offers high mechanical and electrical reliability. The IP67 protection rating provides a high level of protection against environmental influences. The screw terminals allow for easy and secure connections, even with frequent plugging and unplugging. The robust construction from polyamide and nickel-plated brass ensures long service life even under industrial conditions. The clear identification color red (RAL 3000) supports safe identification during operation.
