The Merten 122051 is a full rubber SCHUKO plug from the Merten HD series, designed as a straight plug in black (RAL 9005). It is designed for use in areas where some moisture exposure is expected, such as kitchens, bathrooms, or outdoor areas, where splash-proof design is required. The plug features a robust construction made of rubber, offering high impact resistance and corrosion protection, ensuring reliable operation even under demanding conditions.
Splash protection
The plug is rated IP44, meaning it is protected against splashing water from any direction. This makes it suitable for locations where water may occasionally come into contact with the plug without causing malfunctions or hazards. The IP44 protection rating is particularly relevant in residential and commercial spaces with increased humidity.
Technical specifications and connection options
The plug is 2-pole + E, representing the standard configuration for SCHUKO sockets in Germany and other European countries. It is rated for a nominal current of 16 A and a nominal voltage of 250 V, making it suitable for use with household appliances and electrical installations in private and commercial environments. Connections are made via screw terminals, enabling secure and durable connections for cables up to 3x2.5 mm². Permissible cable types include H 07 RN-F and NSSHöu, indicating suitability for flexible, heat-resistant, and oil-resistant cables.
Material and construction
The plug is made of rubber, known for its elasticity, weather resistance, and electrical insulation properties. The full rubber design ensures high mechanical stability and prevents cracks or breaks under mechanical stress. The black finish (RAL 9005) blends visually into many installation scenarios, particularly in modern or industrial environments.
Certification and safety
The plug is VDE-certified, confirming compliance with German electrical and safety standards. The certification ensures the device meets requirements for electrical safety, insulation, and mechanical strength. This is especially important for use in public or commercial spaces where high safety standards apply.
Compatibility and accessories
The plug is compatible with standard SCHUKO sockets and can be used in existing installations without modification. As a suitable accessory, the full rubber SCHUKO triple hanging coupling in black (article number 179851) is offered, enabling flexible connection of multiple devices. This coupling is also splash-proof and black, matching the plug both visually and functionally.
Mounting and installation
Mounting is done via screw terminals, ensuring secure fastening of the cables. The terminals are designed for the specified cable cross-sections, preventing overload or loose connections. Installation does not require special tools, although proper wiring according to applicable regulations is mandatory.
Operational benefits
The plug provides reliable power supply with a high safety standard. The combination of splash-proof design, robust material, and VDE certification makes it a suitable solution for applications involving mechanical stress and moisture. The high impact resistance reduces the risk of damage from mechanical forces, extending the product’s service life.
Warranty
The manufacturer provides an 18-month warranty, underscoring the product’s quality and durability. This warranty covers defects arising from material or manufacturing faults.
