The Walther-Werke wall socket type 110 is an industrial connector in CEE form, designed for use in outdoor environments. It features a rated voltage of 400 V and a rated current of 16 A, with the socket equipped with 5 poles (5P) and a pole count of 6 h (6-pole). The protection rating IP44 ensures protection against solid objects ≥1 mm and against splashing water from any direction, making the socket suitable for outdoor use or in damp indoor areas. The housing is made of PA6 material, a robust thermoplastic polymer offering high mechanical strength and resistance to environmental influences.

Applications

The socket is designed for industrial applications, particularly in areas where a secure and weather-resistant power supply is required. Typical use cases include production halls with outdoor access points, construction sites, warehouses with outdoor installations, or technical equipment located outdoors. The outdoor mounting allows direct installation on walls or other load-bearing surfaces, enabling flexible installation at various locations.

Functions and Equipment in Detail

The socket features a screw connection, enabling a secure and durable connection to the supply cable. This connection is suitable for use with cables commonly used in industrial environments. The cable entry is located at the top of the housing, supporting simple and organized cabling. The top-positioned entry is particularly advantageous when the cable is fed from above into the socket, for example, during wall or mast mounting.

Technology Explained Simply

The IP44 protection rating means the socket is protected against ingress of solid objects ≥1 mm in diameter (e.g., dust, small particles) and against splashing water from any direction. This makes it suitable for outdoor use or in damp environments without damaging the electrical components. The PA6 material of the housing is heat-resistant, durable against mechanical stress and chemical influences, extending the socket’s lifespan in demanding environments. The 5-pole configuration (5P) complies with the CEE standard and allows connection to corresponding plugs commonly used in industrial and construction applications.

Compatibility and Accessories

The socket is compatible with CEE plugs of matching pole count and current rating. As suitable accessories, the 31 16A 5P 6H 400V wall socket TwinCONTACT IP44 is offered, also suitable for outdoor applications. This combination can be considered during planning of power supply systems in industrial or construction site installations to ensure consistent and secure connections.

Mounting and Installation

The socket is designed for outdoor mounting, with installation on a wall or other load-bearing surface. The top cable entry facilitates cabling, with the cable fed through the designated opening and secured internally via screw connection. Installation requires no additional tools, provided the necessary mounting elements are available.

Operational Advantages

The socket provides reliable power supply in demanding environments. The IP44 protection rating ensures high safety against environmental influences, while the PA6 material offers long service life and resistance to mechanical and chemical stress. The 5-pole configuration enables connection to standardized CEE plugs, ensuring compatibility in industrial applications. The screw connection ensures a stable and durable connection, even under frequent use.
