Why Choose the ILME PN1663PI Black Entertainment Inclined Socket?
The ILME PN1663PI is a professional 16 A inclined flush-mounting socket outlet developed for entertainment, stage, lighting and event power distribution applications. Part of ILME's specialist connectivity range for stage equipment, it combines standardised industrial electrical performance with a discreet RAL 9005 black finish suitable for installations where conventional brightly coloured industrial connectors may be visually intrusive.
The PN1663PI is designed for 200–250 V AC at 50/60 Hz and features a 2-pole + protective earth (2P+PE) configuration, giving three contacts in total. Its protective earth contact is positioned at 6 h, making it suitable for nominal 230 V AC single-phase supplies while maintaining the standardised EN 60309 connection arrangement.
An inclined flush-mounting design provides convenient cable connection from equipment panels and distribution assemblies, while the IP44 construction provides splash protection when correctly installed. The enclosure, insert and spring lid are manufactured from insulating, self-extinguishing thermoplastic material, with retained terminal screws and an anti-ageing flange gasket supporting dependable professional installation.
