Quick Summary
DK 7240.240 socket strip from Rittal provides compact five‑way power access inside industrial enclosures. In practice, many panel builders struggle with mounting flexibility, cable routing, and space constraints when expanding distribution networks. This unit is designed to meet DIN VDE 0620-1 compliance and supports 250 V AC operation at 16 A, with ETIM EC000330 and ECLASS 8.0 classifications guiding procurement and maintenance. The combination of universal fastening options, a 25 mm pitch pattern, and a 2 m feed cable delivers tangible business value by reducing installation time, improving wiring quality, and enabling scalable power distribution across control panels and backplanes. Secondary benefits include simplified inventory management and faster commissioning in 19" enclosures and enclosure frames.

Product description
The socket strips are available in various country-specific variants with different functional elements. Special attention has been devoted to practical, universal fastening: Variable attachment facilities have been created with an angle bracket which may be inserted in four positions. Hence, for example, the 482 mm long socket strips may optionally be mounted on 482.6mm (19") mounting angles, the 482.6 mm (19") mounting frame, on the enclosure frame, or in the rear section of the wall-mounted distributor. Socket strips with a length of more than 482 mm can only be fitted on the enclosure frame. The socket strip may be inserted into all sections with a 25 mm hole pattern, without the need for additional mounting accessories. This makes selection much easier, as well as providing additional flexibility and saving on warehousing. Provision has also been made for cable routing of the infeed, and when mounting in the 482.6 mm (19") section there is adequate space to route the infeed between the socket strip and the profile rail without kinks. The arrangement of the IEC 320 sockets at a 45° angle allows unrestricted use of angular connectors.

Product description
DK Socket strip, CEE 7/3 (type F), 5-way, 250 V, 16 A, LHD: 482,6x44x44 mm, With circuit-breaker, B16, 2-pole, 10 kA
Feature → The socket strip provides flexible mounting options with variable attachment facilities, including a four-position angle bracket. Business Impact → This reduces installation time and warehousing while enabling rapid reconfiguration across different enclosure footprints. Application → Ideal for modular control panels and 19" rack installations where space is at a premium and future rework is likely. Feature → It uses a 5× D (CEE 7/3) socket arrangement in an aluminium, natural anodised section with polycarbonate inserts. Business Impact → Delivers universal compatibility and durable protection in harsh industrial environments, preserving signal integrity and safety. Application → Best suited for machine cabinets and power distribution distributions inside industrial automation panels. Feature → The design includes a circuit-breaker, B16, 2-pole, 10 kA, with a rated current of 16 A and 250 V AC. Business Impact → Improves safety and regulatory compliance while reducing downstream fault investigations. Application → Fits control panels that require built‑in short‑circuit protection for distributed outlets. Feature → Pre-wired assembly with a 2 m H05VV-F3G1.5 connection cable plus mounting brackets. Business Impact → Cuts field wiring time and minimizes error-prone improvisation during installation. Application → Streamlines rapid deployment in new lines or refurb projects with standardized cable lengths. Feature → The unit’s dimensions (482.6 mm length, 44 mm height, 44 mm depth) and mounting options (including 25 mm pitch pattern and 19" compatibility) support precise fitment and adaptable routing. Business Impact → Ensures predictable enclosure design, tight cable management, and easier maintenance planning. Application → Particularly beneficial for 482 mm to 500 mm panel widths and standard 19" rack configurations.

FAQs
The DK 7240.240 supports variable attachment with a four-position angle bracket, can be mounted on enclosure frames or 19" mounting angles, and its 482.6 mm length fits standard enclosure sections. For lengths above 482 mm, mounting is restricted to the enclosure frame to maintain structural integrity and alignment.
It operates at 250 V AC, 50 Hz, and provides a maximum current of 16 A. It includes a 2-pole B16 circuit breaker with a 10 kA short-circuit current rating, and sockets are type F (CEE 7/3). Compliance is aligned with DIN VDE 0620-1 for safe power distribution in control panels.
Ideal for industrial control panels, backplanes, and 19" enclosure applications where modular power distribution is needed. Its 5× D sockets, angled IEC sockets, and 25 mm pitch compatibility support scalable, neatly routed wiring in machine centers and automation cabinets.
The socket strip meets DIN VDE 0620-1 standards for electrical safety. It is designed with ETIM EC000330 and ECLASS 8.0 27142604 classifications to streamline procurement and data exchange, ensuring alignment with common industry data models.
Pre-wired with a 2 m H05VV-F3G1.5 feed cable plus mounting brackets reduces field wiring time and labor. The flexible mounting options and standardized pitch simplify future reconfigurations, lowering maintenance downtime and inventory complexity in automation environments.
