Schuko plugs made of the highest quality materials
When you rely on Schuko plugs and sockets, you are relying on absolutely high-quality products. Since the sockets and plugs are also suitable for outdoor use, they must be able to withstand the loads. That's why Schuko plugs and sockets use materials that can not only withstand mechanical stress, but are also resistant to grease, oil and moisture. Plastic is the best material for Schuko plugs and sockets. The durability of this material, its insensitivity to temperature and high resistance to breakage are absolute must-haves for electrical installations. Due to the special material structure, all Schuko plugs and sockets are insensitive to electronic charging.
Safeguarded by high degrees of protection
We want to provide you with absolutely reliable plugs and sockets and therefore offer only high-quality products in our store. The products in the category of Schuko plugs and sockets are mostly equipped with a degree of protection. A degree of protection is determined by different technical tests and indicates how high the tolerance is to the penetration of dirt and water. The worldwide recognized degree of protection IP (International Protection) is composed of two code numbers. The first number indicates the protection against foreign bodies, while the second number describes the protection against water. The higher the numbers, the higher the degree of protection. In our store you can find Schuko plugs and sockets with different degrees of protection from IP44 and IP68. Please consider well for which purposes you want to use the Schuko plugs and sockets to select the appropriate plug and socket.
These voltages can withstand Schuko plugs and sockets
If you use the safe Schuko plug system, you can operate different devices that are designed for an operating voltage of 230 to 250 V at 50Hz or 60Hz. The plugs, sockets and extension cords are designed for 16A current, which corresponds to an approximate power of 3600W at 230V. The Schuko plugs have a 1 phase connection and thus operate all standard household appliances.
Why Schuko plugs instead of Euro plugs?
You have to decide this question for yourself. We can only help you to make the right decision. Euro plugs and sockets are, as the name suggests, available in almost all of Europe. You can operate many devices without using an additional adapter. The Euro plugs are often also referred to as Type-C. In contrast, there are the high-quality Schuko plugs. These are mainly used in Germany, are subject to constant testing by the Warenverband. The high-quality Schuko plugs and sockets are equipped with two additional grounding plates or protective conductors, which safely dissipate fault currents, in the case of faulty devices. Due to the additional protective conductors, the plugs are wider and they require an adapter for the European area.
