Why Choose the ABB M1175 German Schuko Socket?
The ABB M1175 is a compact German Schuko standard modular socket outlet designed to provide a convenient mains connection inside civil and industrial electrical switchboards. Part of ABB's modular installation range, it allows tools, test equipment and other electrical or electronic devices to be powered directly from a DIN-rail distribution or control assembly.
Rated at 16 A and 250 V AC, the M1175 uses the familiar protective-contact Schuko configuration and incorporates safety shutters for enhanced contact protection. Its grey enclosure and compact modular construction make it suitable for permanent integration alongside other DIN-rail equipment.
The M1175 occupies 2.5 modular spacings and has a built-in depth of approximately 60 mm. With an IP20 protection rating, 50/60 Hz operating frequency and terminals accepting conductors from 2.5–16 mm², it provides a practical service socket for indoor switchboards, automation panels and electrical distribution equipment.
