Why Choose the Ilme SQE3243.5FM Interlocked Switched Socket?

The Ilme SQE3243.5FM is a robust 32 A interlocked switched industrial socket-outlet designed for controlled connection and isolation of equipment operating from low-voltage industrial power supplies. Rated for 100–130 V AC at 50 / 60 Hz, including nominal 110 V applications, it features a 3-pole, 2P+E configuration, 4h earth-contact position and IP55 protection.

Part of the Ilme SQE series, the SQE3243.5FM combines an industrial socket-outlet with a lockable command switch and mechanical interlocking system. The interlock prevents the switch from being turned ON when a compatible plug is not inserted and prevents withdrawal of the plug while the switch remains ON, helping ensure that connection, energisation, isolation and disconnection take place in the intended sequence.

The FM configuration provides room for an RCD, allowing suitable residual-current protection to be incorporated into the associated industrial distribution arrangement. Yellow voltage identification denotes the 100–130 V AC range, while insulating self-extinguishing thermoplastic construction and a 6 J mechanical impact resistance support dependable use in machinery, workshops and industrial power distribution installations.

Key Advantages

  • Industrial 32 A interlocked switched socket for nominal 110 V applications.
  • 3-pole, 2P+E configuration for compatible industrial power connections.
  • 100–130 V AC, 50 / 60 Hz rated operating range.
  • IP55 protection for demanding industrial installations.
  • Mechanical interlocking controls the sequence of plug connection and switching.
  • Lockable command switch supports controlled equipment operation and isolation.
  • Room for an RCD allows residual-current protection to be incorporated into the associated FM arrangement.
  • Yellow identification and 4h earth-contact position aid correct connector selection.

Key Features

  • Ilme SQE series interlocked switched socket-outlet.
  • 32 A rated current.
  • 100–130 V AC rated voltage range.
  • 50 / 60 Hz operating frequency.
  • 3 poles (2P+E).
  • 4h earth-contact position.
  • IP55 degree of protection.
  • Yellow voltage identification.
  • Mechanically interlocked socket and switch operation.
  • Lockable command switch.
  • Insulating, self-extinguishing thermoplastic construction.
  • 6 J mechanical impact resistance.

  • Suitable for 32 A industrial plug and socket systems.

Controlled 32 A Power with Provision for RCD Protection

Interlocked switched socket-outlets coordinate the industrial power connection with the switching function. The mechanical interlock prevents the switch from being turned ON without a compatible plug inserted and prevents normal withdrawal of the plug while the switch remains ON, helping equipment operators follow a controlled connection and isolation sequence.

The Ilme SQE3243.5FM combines this functionality with a 32 A, 100–130 V AC, 2P+E socket and IP55 protection. Its FM arrangement provides room for an RCD, making it particularly useful for industrial distribution points where a higher-current nominal 110 V connection, local switching and provision for residual-current protection are required.

Typical Applications

  • 110 V industrial machinery and equipment.
  • 32 A workshop and maintenance power distribution.
  • Manufacturing and production facilities.
  • Machine power connection and isolation points.
  • Industrial distribution assemblies requiring RCD provision.
  • OEM machinery and fixed industrial installations.
