Quick Summary
Rittal DK 7240.280 socket strip is a compact, versatile power distribution solution for control cabinets. Installing in current panels often suffers from rigid mounting options and cramped routing; this design improves flexibility with adjustable mounting and four-position brackets that suit various 19" and enclosure setups. It is designed to the DIN 49 440-1 safety standard and features a 5-way CEE 7/3 (type F) socket arrangement with an FI switch to enhance protection in live installations. The aluminium section and polycarbonate sockets deliver robust, space-efficient performance, while the included 2 m H05VV-F3G1.5 lead supports quick, reliable field deployment in automation environments. Secondary benefits include universal mounting compatibility and streamlined cable routing that reduce installation time and warehousing needs.

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 FI switch
Feature → Business Impact → Application: The DK 7240.280 uses a modular aluminium section with 482.6 mm length and 5x D sockets, enabling flexible installation across enclosure frames or 19" mounting angles. This reduces custom fabrications and saves on stock by supporting various country-specific variants, improving project efficiency in panel builds. Application: Control panels, machine racks, and automation enclosures benefit from straightforward mounting in 25 mm hole patterns with four-position brackets. Feature → Business Impact → Application: The FI switch (0.03 A, 2-pole, type A) adds an active safety layer that minimizes startup spikes and protects downstream equipment, lowering maintenance costs and downtime. Application: Critical loads such as programmable controllers and motor starters gain reliable protection in normal and surge conditions. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Mounting options that include enclosure frames, rear wall distributors, or 19" sections help integrate power distribution without adding accessory clutter, reducing lead times and inventory. Application: Modular plant areas with mixed equipment benefit from adaptable installation and simplified cable routing behind the strip. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Aluminium anodised body and polycarbonate sockets provide durable, corrosion-resistant components, extending service life in harsh environments. Application: Enclosures exposed to dust, humidity, or off-gas conditions in manufacturing lines. Feature → Business Impact → Application: The included 2 m H05VV-F3G1.5 lead and two mounting brackets enable quick, tool-free assembly, supporting faster commissioning and a lower total cost of ownership. Application: New builds and retrofit projects requiring fast deployment and reliable power distribution. Note: A recommended charging current reserve is advised to prevent incorrect activation due to starting-current spikes, enhancing system reliability across load profiles.
