TE Connectivity 1SNA166566R2500 M10-R-C5A is a grey 400 V 8 A ESSAILEC multicircuit test socket with C5A quick-connect terminals and rack/back-panel mounting for compatible electrical measuring and testing systems.
Why Choose the TE Connectivity 1SNA166566R2500 M10-R-C5A Multicircuit Test Socket?
The TE Connectivity 1SNA166566R2500 is an M10-R-C5A multicircuit test socket from the ENTRELEC ESSAILEC measuring and testing range. Designed for rack or back-panel mounting, this grey socket provides a structured connection interface for current measurement and testing circuits used in industrial power distribution, protection and metering systems.
The M10-R-C5A uses a quick-connect C5A interface and provides a multicircuit arrangement for connection with the compatible FIM10-R test plug. The ESSAILEC architecture is designed to simplify testing, measurement, monitoring and maintenance of secondary circuits associated with current transformers, meters and protection relays.
Rated at 400 V and 8 A, the M10-R-C5A has an impulse withstand voltage of 4 kV and is designed for demanding industrial test installations. The socket is supplied with the accessories required for its mounting arrangement, including two COP-E-1 coding pins, helping ensure correct plug/socket configuration.

Structured Multicircuit Testing for Protection and Metering Systems
ESSAILEC test systems provide dedicated connection interfaces for secondary circuits associated with current transformers, meters and protection equipment. Using a matched socket and test plug allows engineers to perform measurement, monitoring, commissioning and maintenance operations through an organised test interface rather than relying on temporary wiring arrangements.
The TE Connectivity M10-R-C5A is specifically configured for rack or back-panel installation and mates with the FIM10-R test plug. Its 400 V, 8 A electrical ratings, C5A quick-connect interface and dedicated coding arrangement make it suitable for professional multicircuit testing installations in switchgear, protection panels, substations and industrial electrical systems.
Typical Applications
Current transformer secondary circuits.
Protection relay testing and commissioning.
Electrical metering and monitoring systems.
Switchgear test and protection panels.
Substation control and protection equipment.
Industrial power distribution systems.
Rack-mounted electrical testing assemblies.
