Weidmüller Plugs

weidmuller plugs and distributors overview and range

This category covers portable and panel-mounted power interfaces for machines, skids and temporary plant power. Weidmüller structures the range into three buckets: plug tops and panel inlets for equipment, wall and box-mounted outlet distributors for site power, and modular accessories that expand circuits without rewiring. Typical buyers are OEMs, panel shops and facility MRO teams building safe power take-off points around cabinets, conveyors and service areas.

weidmuller power plugs families and ratings

Expect standard utility plug tops in 10–16 A for workshops, and CEE blue 16 A and 32 A for industrial tools and test rigs. Bodies come in impact-resistant polymer with ribbed grips for gloved hands; strain-relief clamps suit 3×1.5 to 5×6 mm² conductors depending on rating. Panel inlets mirror these ratings for door or plate mounting; angled versions clear tight cabinets. Most distributors stock black and industrial grey in singles, with gland nuts and cord grips in small bags of five for kitting.

weidmuller distributor sockets layouts and IP classes

Distributors range from single-gang wall outlets to compact 2–6 way boxes with main switch, MCBs and PE bonding points. Choose IP44 for dry utility rooms and IP65 for washdown or dusty bays; hinged lids are spring-loaded to keep splash out. Housing options include surface boxes for masonry and slim plates for machine skids. Pre-fused variants simplify local protection near a panel without adding a new breaker row.

Product range and series overview

• Portable floor or wall boxes with 2–4 outlets for maintenance power next to MCCs.
• Panel-mount receptacles with matching inlets for clean cabinet feed-through.
• Inline couplers to extend runs on commissioning carts.
• Accessory kits: gaskets, label windows, padlockable lids and cord grips sized to the plug rating.
  Popular SKUs: 16 A CEE blue outlet with hinged lid, 230 V utility outlet with shutter, and 16 A panel inlet with matching strain relief. These are the fast movers across most sites.

weidmuller modular plug systems for fast builds

Modularity keeps spares lean. Frames accept utility or CEE inserts interchangeably; the same cutout and screw pattern lets you swap a single-gang outlet for a data insert later. DIN-rail carriers mount the exact inserts inside a service panel, so you standardize one family from wall to cabinet. Through-wiring kits and twin-terminal inserts make daisy-chaining cleaner than adding separate junction blocks.

Key features and ordering specs

• Ratings and poles: 10/16 A utility, CEE 16 A and 32 A, 2P+E or 3P+N+E where required.
• Ingress protection: IP20 for enclosed cabinets, IP44 for utility rooms, IP65 with gasketed lids in splash zones.
• Terminations: screw or push-in clamps; twin terminals on distributors support feed-through without extra ferrules.
• Bodies and finishes: industrial grey or black, UV-stable lids for outdoor skids
• Accessories: hinged lids, sealing gaskets, strain-relief bushings, label holders, mounting frames and surface boxes.
• Packaging: mechanisms in singles; lids, gaskets and grips in 5s or 10s for line-side bins.

Applications and compatibility

Use next to control panels, test benches, machine skids and mobile service carts. Distributors and inlets pair neatly with Weidmüller terminal blocks, PE/earth bars, DIN rails and cable glands. For clean routing, bring cords through EMC glands and bond shields right beside the outlet row; it protects sensitive tools near VFDs. Many projects group these under weidmuller industrial distributors when specifying temporary power around process lines.

Integration with other Weidmüller products

Panel inlets share door plate geometry with Ø22 control hardware, keeping machining simple and labels consistent. PE links tie to the same earth terminals used across your terminal strips. If you plan network drops next to power, add the brand’s keystone frames and shield clamps so electrical and data present as one tidy station. When tool loads spike, feed distributors from Weidmüller MCB rows sized to the cord cross-sections.

Selection criteria for B2B clients

• Environment and IP. Pick IP65 with gasketed lids for washdown or dust; IP44 suffices in clean utility rooms.
• Load and duty. Size plugs and outlets by continuous current, not just nameplate; leave 20% headroom for warm cabinets.
• Mounting depth. Deep surface boxes handle rigid conductors and loop-through; slim plates suit door skins and narrow skids.
• Wiring speed. Push-in clamps cut assembly time on repeat builds; screw clamps help when conductor sizes vary.
• Access control. Use lockable lids where operators shouldn’t energize tools without a permit.
• Kit completeness. Order the mechanism with matching lid, gasket, strain relief and frame—missing small parts cause most site delays.
