Integrated Green LED Voltage Presence Indicator
One of the distinguishing features of the Finder 7U.00.8.230.0010 is its integrated green LED voltage presence indicator. This provides a convenient visual indication that electrical voltage is present at the socket's supply connections.
In industrial electrical cabinets, a voltage presence indicator can help maintenance personnel quickly identify whether the socket circuit is energised. This is useful during commissioning, troubleshooting and routine inspection of electrical equipment.
The LED is particularly valuable where multiple electrical circuits are installed within the same cabinet. It provides an immediate visual reference without requiring a separate indicator lamp to be installed alongside the power outlet.
Important: The LED is an indication feature, not an approved means of proving electrical isolation. Before carrying out electrical work, the supply must be safely isolated and verified using an appropriate test instrument and procedure.
Schuko and Italian Bipasso Socket Compatibility
The Finder 7U.00.8.230.0010 is designed to accept compatible Schuko Type F and Italian Bipasso Type L 10/16 A plugs. This dual-format compatibility makes the socket useful in electrical installations where suitable European mains-powered equipment is used.
Schuko plugs are widely used throughout continental Europe, while Italian Bipasso plugs are commonly found in Italian electrical installations. By supporting both formats, the Finder 7U.00.8.230.0010 provides additional flexibility for international machinery installations and equipment maintenance.
The socket incorporates a protective earth connection for compatible earthed plugs. Correct earthing and electrical protection must be provided as part of the overall installation.
UK installation note: This product is not a standard UK BS 1363 three-pin socket. It is intended for compatible European plug types, and its use in UK electrical installations must be assessed against the applicable wiring regulations, equipment requirements and site safety procedures.
DIN Rail Mounting and Electrical Installation
The Finder 7U.00.8.230.0010 is designed for installation on a standard 35 mm DIN rail, making it suitable for use alongside circuit breakers, relays, contactors, power supplies and other electrical control components.
Its 45 mm-wide housing allows the socket to fit neatly into compatible electrical enclosures. The light grey finish provides a neutral appearance that suits professional industrial control cabinets.
The socket uses screw terminal connections for line, neutral and protective earth. The manufacturer's installation data specifies a 9 mm conductor stripping length and a 0.5 Nm terminal tightening torque.
The terminal arrangement supports suitable solid and stranded conductors, subject to the manufacturer's stated conductor size limits. All electrical connections should be made by a competent person, using appropriately rated wiring and circuit protection.
With an IP20 protection rating, the socket is intended for installation within a suitable electrical enclosure. It should not be treated as a weatherproof or waterproof outlet.
Typical Applications
- Industrial electrical control cabinets.
- Electrical distribution boards and panel assemblies.
- Factory automation control panels.
- Machinery electrical enclosures.
- Industrial maintenance power outlets.
- Electrical commissioning and testing stations.
- Control cabinet service sockets.
- Manufacturing and production line equipment.
- Packaging and processing machinery cabinets.
- Automated warehouse control panels.
- Building management system electrical enclosures.
- Industrial equipment using compatible European mains plugs.

- DIN rail installations requiring a compact 16 A power outlet.
Finder 7U Series Socket Variants
The Finder 7U Series includes different socket versions to suit installation and identification requirements. The 7U.00.8.230.0010 is the grey version with an integrated LED voltage presence indicator.
- Finder 7U.00.8.230.0010: Grey socket with green LED voltage presence indicator.
- Finder 7U.00.8.230.0000: Grey socket without LED voltage presence indication.
- Finder 7U.00.8.230.0012: Yellow socket with LED voltage presence indicator.
- Finder 7U.00.8.230.0002: Yellow socket without LED voltage presence indication.
The yellow versions are particularly useful where a socket requires clear visual identification, such as an outlet that may remain energised independently of a machine's main isolator. The correct version should be selected according to the installation's electrical design and identification requirements.
