32A 3-Pin Interlocked Socket IP67 – Horizontal Design

The 32A 3-Pin Interlocked Socket IP67 Horizontal is a high-performance industrial power solution engineered to deliver safe, reliable, and long-lasting electrical connections in harsh and demanding environments. Designed specifically for professional industrial use, this interlocked socket integrates advanced safety mechanisms, rugged construction, and a compact horizontal layout to meet the needs of modern electrical installations.

Manufactured by Famatel, a globally recognized leader in industrial electrical products and wiring accessories, and private-labelled in India under the brand name “CAPE”, this socket reflects international quality standards, proven engineering, and field-tested reliability. Its side-by-side horizontal arrangement of the socket and switch ensures ease of operation while maintaining a compact footprint, making it suitable for space-constrained industrial setups.

Designed for Single-Phase Industrial Applications

This model features a 3-pin configuration (2P + Earth), making it suitable for single-phase power systems operating between 200–250V AC. It is designed to handle high current loads of 32A, making it ideal for powering industrial equipment, tools, and auxiliary systems that require stable and safe electrical connections.

The horizontal interlocked socket design allows seamless installation in data centers, industrial machinery, electrical panels, and wall-mounted systems, particularly where space optimization and organized cable routing are essential. The horizontal layout reduces strain on cables, improves accessibility, and supports neat installation practices.

Despite its compact design, the socket is built to withstand continuous industrial loads, delivering consistent electrical performance without compromising safety, efficiency, or durability.

Advanced Safety Through Mechanical Interlocking

Prevents Unsafe Plug Operations

Safety is the defining feature of this interlocked socket. The mechanical interlock system ensures that the plug can only be inserted or removed when the switch is in the OFF position. This eliminates risks associated with live plug withdrawal, such as electrical arcing, accidental electric shock, and damage to connected equipment.

Once the plug is fully and securely inserted, the switch can be turned ON to energize the circuit in a controlled manner. This intentional sequence ensures a stable and secure power connection, reducing operational hazards and improving workplace safety.

Because of this design, the 32A 3-Pin interlocked socket is especially suitable for safety-critical installations where strict electrical control is required, such as industrial plants, workshops, and high-load power points.

IP67 Protection for Harsh Environments

Dustproof and Waterproof Performance

With an IP67 protection rating, the socket is completely protected against dust ingress and capable of withstanding temporary immersion in water. This high level of ingress protection makes it suitable for outdoor installations, wet zones, and environments exposed to moisture, dust, or airborne contaminants.

The waterproof and dustproof construction ensures reliable performance in challenging environments such as:

• Food processing units

• Commercial kitchens

• Chemical plants

• Construction sites

• Utility and maintenance areas

Even under unpredictable environmental conditions, the socket continues to provide stable electrical connectivity, minimizing downtime and maintenance requirements.

Durable Construction for Long Service Life

The horizontal interlocked socket is manufactured using high-quality, impact-resistant thermoplastic, offering excellent mechanical strength, corrosion resistance, and UV stability. This robust material selection ensures dependable operation in both indoor and outdoor applications, even under rough handling or exposure to environmental stress.

Internally, precision-engineered components are designed to deliver:

• Low contact resistance

• Efficient current flow

• Reduced heat generation

These characteristics improve energy efficiency, reduce wear on internal parts, and contribute to a long service life with minimal maintenance. The strong outer housing also protects internal contacts from vibration, impact, and environmental damage, making the socket well-suited for demanding industrial operations.

Flexible Horizontal Mounting Advantage

The horizontal configuration offers clear advantages in modern industrial installations. It improves accessibility during installation and maintenance, especially in control panels or equipment where vertical space is limited. The layout simplifies wiring and supports clean, organized cable management.

Clear and well-positioned ON/OFF switching provides immediate visual confirmation of power status. This helps technicians and operators quickly identify whether the circuit is energized, further enhancing operational safety and control.
