Schuko surface mounted sockets made of the best material
The high quality surface mounted sockets are made of the best materials. To ensure that the sockets cannot become electrically charged and have a long service life, only one material is considered for this purpose. Plastic impresses not only with its resistance to breakage, resistance to electric charge and high temperature resistance, but also with its hardness. The material is resistant to common household acids and promises a long service life. So that you can use the surface-mounted sockets safely, they are, thanks to the high-quality material, absolutely robust even under mechanical loads. Here, not only the housing is made of the robust material, but also the lid. The spring-loaded lid is also designed to close by itself when there is no plug in the socket. Thus, the socket always remains closed and penetration of dirt and moisture is almost impossible.
Degree of protection and cover
Hermetic surface-mounted socket, which can be used in bathrooms, basements, kitchens or laundries, can also be used outdoors. Thanks to the excellent materials and the attached cover, the sockets are protected according to IP44 degree of protection. Therefore, it is possible to use the surface-mounted sockets in rooms exposed to moisture. In order to determine the protection class, the sockets are subjected to various tests and then assigned to the appropriate code number. The degree of protection is composed of two digits, which at the end result in the protection class. The preceding IP (International Protection) comes from English and means something like "protection against intrusion". The protection classes we offer are based on the ingress of foreign bodies and protection against water. The sockets with the IP44 degree of protection are protected against the penetration of foreign bodies with a diameter of 1mm and splash water.
Easy installation thanks to flush mounting
The high-quality Schuko sockets can be installed quickly, easily and without complications. To do this, you can lay a new power cable on the wall and mount the Schuko socket on the wall. You are spared the cumbersome chiseling open of the walls to lay the cables in the wall, the subsequent plastering work and the resulting dust and dirt. Use the robust sockets and put the power sources in the place where you need them.
Difference between Euro sockets and Schuko sockets
The Euro socket is also known as a type C socket and, as the name suggests, is used throughout most of Europe. Type C, E and F plugs can be inserted into the socket. In contrast, there are the Schuko sockets (socket type F), which are now most commonly used in Germany and Europe. These sockets differ from the type C sockets by their protective contacts. These protective contacts are attached to the side and are designed to dissipate dangerous voltages.
