Design
non-switchable
Product description
The modular system facilitates basic configuration of the racks, thanks to a vertical support rail with single-/3-phase infeed. The various socket modules to supply the active components may be snap-fitted into the support rail. The various modules, earthing pins, IEC320 etc. may be inserted into the support rail in any combination. This is easily achieved, even by non-electricians, thanks to the shock hazard protected plug & play system.

Product description
DK PSM Plus socket module, CEE 7/5 (type E), 4-way, black, non-switchable
Feature to business impact to application: The 4 x sockets on CEE 7/5 Type E connectors provide immediate, compatible power access for European control hardware, enabling a faster, quieter setup with fewer hard-wired junctions. This directly reduces commissioning time and wiring errors, improving first-pass acceptance in automated lines and reducing downtime during cabinet upgrades. The modular snap-in design into a vertical support rail delivers flexible reconfiguration without rewiring, supporting rapid design changes as production lines evolve. Aluminum anodised housing with PA6 GF 30 V1 socket inserts offers durable, corrosion-resistant construction suitable for harsh environments, translating into lower maintenance costs and longer service life in industrial setups. With a 250 mm length and a 16 A maximum current rating, the unit fits compact racks while supplying reliable power to active components across single- and three-phase configurations, promoting space efficiency and cleaner panel layouts. While there is no built-in thermal overcurrent protection, the system relies on upstream protective devices, ensuring compatibility with existing MCB/RCD protection schemes and simplifying panel design. This module is a proven, scalable enclosure accessory compatible with other DK PSM Plus modules, enabling modular expansion as control architectures grow, reducing total ownership cost and improving return on investment for mid- to long-term automation projects.

FAQs
Installation is a straightforward plug‑in process: align the DK 7856.120 with the vertical support rail, snap the module into a single slot, and secure with the existing mounting provisions in your enclosure. The design supports snap‑fit assembly with plug‑and‑play safety features, minimizing wiring disruption and enabling rapid reconfiguration without extensive cabling or specialist electrical work.
The module delivers 110–230 V AC at 50/60 Hz with a maximum current of 16 A. It provides four sockets (4 x F/B type E, CEE 7/5) for reliable, European-standard power distribution within a 250 mm rail-mounted module, suitable for powering typical control components in European industrial cabinets.
Yes. The DK PSM Plus socket module is designed for operating temperatures from 5 °C to 45 °C and ambient humidity from 5% to 95% non-condensing, making it appropriate for most indoor industrial enclosures found in European automation environments.
The module employs a shock hazard protected plug‑and‑play system to reduce the risk of electrical accidents during installation and reconfiguration. While it does not include built‑in thermal overcurrent protection, it is designed to work with standard upstream protective devices and adheres to typical European safety practices, supporting compliant panel design and easier maintenance.
The DK PSM Plus module reduces wiring complexity and commissioning time through modular, plug‑in design, leading to lower labor costs and faster changeovers. Its compatibility with other DK PSM Plus modules enables scalable expansion of power distribution in cabinets, minimizing future retrofit costs and improving overall uptime in automated production lines.
