Military model

The Bals flange device plug type 282002 is an industrial connector of CEE form, designed for use in installations with high current load. It features a rated current of 32 A and is designed for an operating voltage of 400 V (50/60 Hz). The design is implemented as a mounting device plug, with a straight insertion direction and clock position 6. The identification colour red (RAL 3000) indicates the voltage class according to EN 60309-2. The protection rating IP44 ensures protection against solid foreign objects and splashing water, enabling use in indoor environments as well as in slightly damp conditions.

Applications

The plug is intended for industrial applications, particularly in machine and plant engineering, where a secure and fast power supply is required. The 5-pole configuration (3P+N+PE) meets the requirements for a three-phase supply with neutral conductor and protective earth conductor. The flange device plug design allows for secure mounting on machines or devices, with flange dimensions of 75 mm (vertically and horizontally) and a hole spacing of 60 mm. The device dimensions are 75 mm in height and width, and 96 mm in depth.

Functions and equipment in detail

The connection technology is based on a screwless spring clamp system with cage spring clamps, enabling quick and reliable connection of conductors. The maximum conductor cross-section is 6.0 mm², suitable for a wide range of cable types in industrial applications. The contacts are made of bare brass, ensuring high electrical conductivity and corrosion resistance. The contact carrier and housing are made of polyamide, a robust plastic that withstands thermal and mechanical stress well.

Technology explained simply

The screwless clamp technology reduces installation time and minimizes the risk of incorrect connections. The cage spring clamps secure the conductor by mechanical pressure without requiring screws to be tightened. The IP44 protection rating protects against contact with solid foreign objects larger than 1 mm and against splashing water from any direction, enabling use in production halls or workshops with occasional moisture. The identification colour red (RAL 3000) is internationally standardized and indicates the voltage class 400 V.

Compatibility and accessories

The plug is designed for use with matching CEE sockets of the same voltage class (red) and current rating (32 A). The 5-pole configuration (3P+N+PE) is intended for connection to three-phase installations with protective earth conductor. Mounting is done via the integrated flange, requiring a holding lug to ensure secure fastening. The collar in the centre of the flange supports mechanical stability.

Mounting and installation

Mounting is done by securing the flange to the desired surface, with the holes aligned at 60 mm spacing horizontally and vertically. Cable connection is made via the screwless spring clamps, ensuring the maximum conductor cross-section of 6.0 mm² is not exceeded. The use of a holding lug is required to ensure secure and vibration-resistant mounting.

Advantages in operation

The quick mounting via screwless spring clamp technology reduces installation time and minimizes error sources. The robust construction from polyamide and bare brass ensures long service life and reliable electrical conductivity. The IP44 protection rating allows use in environments with occasional moisture without compromising electrical safety. The clear identification colour red (RAL 3000) facilitates identification of the voltage class during operation.

Additional technical specifications

Frequency ranges of 50 Hz and 60 Hz are supported, enabling international use. The device colour is red (RAL 3000), matching the technical identification colour.

Important features

The design as a mounting device plug with straight insertion direction and clock position 6 is intended for standardized mounting on machines and devices. The IP44 protection rating provides sufficient protection for indoor areas with occasional moisture. The 5-pole configuration (3P+N+PE) meets the requirements for a secure three-phase power supply.
