Why Choose the ABB M1363L Modular Socket?
The ABB M1363L, manufacturer designation M1363-L, is a British Standard modular socket outlet with indicator light designed to provide a convenient power connection inside civil and industrial electrical switchboards. Supplied under ABB order code 2CSM258163R0721, it allows tools, instruments and other non-modular electrical or electronic equipment to be connected directly at the panel.
Designed for BS 1363 British Standard plugs, the M1363-L is rated at 13 A and 250 V AC. An integrated indicator light provides a clear visual indication of voltage presence, making the socket particularly useful for maintenance, commissioning and service applications within electrical enclosures.
The socket has a light-grey RAL 7035 finish and is designed for modular installation on a DIN rail. Its compact 53 × 85 × 60 mm dimensions allow it to be incorporated into control panels and distribution equipment while providing a familiar UK-format socket outlet where auxiliary power is required.

Convenient Auxiliary Power Inside Electrical Panels
Modular socket outlets provide a practical source of power for non-modular devices within electrical switchboards. Maintenance tools, test instruments, programming equipment and other portable electrical devices can be connected without requiring a separate external socket adjacent to the enclosure.
The ABB M1363-L combines a familiar British Standard 13 A outlet with DIN-rail installation and an integrated voltage-presence indicator. This makes it particularly suited to industrial and commercial panels where accessible auxiliary power is useful during commissioning, servicing and routine maintenance.
