TE Connectivity PC-R-VA 1SNA166765R0400 is a shunted ESSAILEC polarity test socket with rear panel mounting, ring-tongue connections, coding pins and guiding pins for industrial measurement and protection circuits.
Why Choose the TE Connectivity PC-R-VA 1SNA166765R0400 Polarity Test Socket?
The TE Connectivity PC-R-VA 1SNA166765R0400 is an industrial ESSAILEC polarity test socket designed for safe and efficient testing of secondary measurement, metering and protection circuits. Part of the established TE Connectivity ENTRELEC ESSAILEC series, it provides a dedicated plug-in interface that enables engineers to carry out electrical tests while minimising disturbance to permanent panel wiring.
The PC-R-VA features a shunted contact configuration and is designed for rear panel mounting. Ring-tongue connections provide secure termination of the permanent circuit wiring, while integrated coding and guiding pins help ensure correct plug positioning and reduce the risk of connection errors during testing.
Designed as part of the modular ESSAILEC measuring and testing system, the 1SNA166765R0400 is suitable for applications involving current and voltage measurement, monitoring, signal injection, meter servicing and protection-relay maintenance. Its dedicated test interface supports fast, repeatable commissioning and maintenance procedures in industrial switchboards, protection cabinets and power-system panels.

Reliable Testing for Metering and Protection Circuits
ESSAILEC test blocks are designed to simplify current and voltage measurement, monitoring, signal injection and the servicing or replacement of meters and protection relays installed in secondary transformer and sensor circuits. The PC-R-VA provides a dedicated fixed socket within this system, allowing compatible test equipment to be connected when commissioning or maintenance work is required.
The combination of shunted contacts, coded plug compatibility and positive mechanical guidance supports repeatable testing while helping prevent incorrect connections. This makes the PC-R-VA particularly suitable for electrical installations where test access is required throughout the operating life of switchgear, metering and protection equipment.
