Four-wire, three-pole configuration provides segregated ground, neutral, and hot paths, delivering safer fault isolation and reduced risk of miswiring in critical automation circuits. This design improves maintenance predictability and supports reliability metrics essential for continuous operation. It is ideal for control panels and equipment housings in manufacturing lines where consistent power delivery matters. With a 20A, 250V AC rating, the receptacle supports common industrial loads while maintaining a comfortable safety margin, helping prevent nuisance trips and extending service life. The practical outcome is fewer panel disturbances and lower replacement costs for power outlets in machine rooms and assembly lines. Installation teams benefit from straightforward wiring practices that align with standard panel layouts and feed-through configurations. Brass construction offers enduring mechanical strength and corrosion resistance in demanding environments, translating to longer life cycles and lower replacement rates. This choice enhances contact durability for repeated insertions and removals, ensuring stable conductivity over time. Designers can specify brass Pauluhn receptacles with confidence for indoor and semi-hazardous settings within Ordinary/Non-Hazardous Locations. Surface mounting and two-receptacle configuration enable compact, space-efficient installations that speed retrofits and new builds alike. This design reduces enclosure depth requirements and simplifies maintenance access. The outcome is faster changeovers in production cells and more modular automation platforms where reliability matters. Pauluhn engineering lineage provides compatibility with a broad ecosystem of plugs and receptacles, helping standardize part numbers across facilities. This reduces spare-part inventories and procurement complexity while ensuring consistent electrical characteristics. The result is improved lifecycle cost management and easier supplier engagement for industrial automation projects. Area classification Ordinary/Non-Hazardous Locations ensures the unit meets regulatory expectations for non-hazardous environments, giving buyers confidence for general manufacturing floors and assembly benches. Combined with proven design and standard ratings, it supports easier compliance documentation and safer upgrades in retrofits and new installations.
