FAQs
What type of plug is compatible with this socket?
This socket is designed exclusively for standard 4mm shrouded plugs.
What is the maximum current this socket can handle?
The socket is rated for a maximum current of 36 Amperes (36A).
Is this socket suitable for high-voltage applications?
While rated for 36A, it's crucial to verify the voltage rating for your specific application. It is commonly used in low-voltage DC or standard AC mains circuits where 36A is the primary consideration.
What does the red color signify?
The red color is typically used for identification, often indicating a specific voltage, phase, or circuit function, aiding in organized wiring.
Can I use this socket outdoors?
The product description does not specify an environmental rating (like IP rating). It is best suited for indoor, dry environments unless otherwise protected.
How do I connect wires to the socket?
Wires should be connected to the socket terminals using appropriate crimp connectors or by soldering, depending on the terminal type and application. Ensure connections are secure and insulated.
Troubleshooting
Socket does not make contact with plug
Ensure a 4mm plug is fully inserted. Check for any obstructions within the socket or on the plug. Verify that the plug is compatible and rated correctly.
Overheating during use
Confirm the connected load does not exceed the 36A rating. Check wiring connections for tightness. Ensure the plug is fully seated. If the issue persists, the socket may be faulty or the application exceeds its capacity.
Loose connection
The 4mm plug may be worn or the socket contacts may have lost tension. Inspect both for damage. If the socket contacts are loose, replacement might be necessary.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
Wiring: Connect the socket terminals to your power source according to standard electrical wiring practices. Ensure secure connections to prevent overheating.
Mounting: If designed for panel mounting, ensure it is securely fixed in place.
Compatibility:
Plugs: Exclusively compatible with standard 4mm shrouded plugs. Ensure the plug meets the 36A rating.
Voltage: While rated for 36A, always check the voltage rating requirements for your specific application. The product is often used in low-voltage DC or standard AC mains circuits where the 36A capacity is sufficient.
Care:
Cleaning: Disconnect power before cleaning. Use a dry or slightly damp cloth to wipe down the exterior. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents.
Inspection: Periodically inspect the socket and plug contacts for any signs of corrosion, damage, or wear. Ensure the shroud is intact.
Environment: Operate within specified temperature and humidity limits to maintain performance and longevity. Avoid exposing to excessive moisture or dust.
