Weidmüller Switches and sockets

weidmuller switches and sockets overview for industrial and commercial builds

This category brings together wall- and panel-mounted switching, outlets, frames and accessories that installers actually use on shop floors, utility rooms and control cabins. The range is structured by mounting (flush, surface, DIN-rail and panel cut-out), ingress protection (IP20, IP44, IP65), current class (10/16 A utility up to heavy-duty connectors), and function blocks (switch, outlet, indicator, USB/charging, key switch). Typical buyers are panel shops, OEM machine builders and facility MRO teams who want consistent footprints, fast wiring and spares that remain available across refresh cycles.

weidmuller wall switches ranges and finishes

Standard toggle and rocker mechanisms sit in compact boxes with snap-in modules; service versions add clear windowed rockers for labelling and status. You’ll find maintained and momentary actions, illuminated options for dark bays, and key-operated forms where operator access must be controlled. Finishes run industrial grey/black for plant areas and clean white for offices and test labs. Frames: 1- to 4-gang; surface boxes in low and deep profiles to accommodate stiff industrial conductors. Most distributors stock singles and 10-packs for common rockers; labelling tabs ship in strips for line-side kitting.

weidmuller electrical sockets families and ratings

Socket lines cover Schuko/FR, CEE 16 A blue for maintenance power, and protected variants with shutters and hinged lids. Where washdown or dust is present, select gasketed covers to maintain IP. Charging inserts (Type-A/C) are available for service benches and HMIs; choose isolated supplies when noise immunity is critical. Expect screw or push-in terminals, captive terminal covers and clear marking wells. Popular sizes: single-gang 230 V utility and 16 A panel inlets for cabinets; packaging typically in 1s, with protective lids in bags of 5.

weidmuller modular switch systems for flexible layouts

Mix and match mechanisms, frames and boxes so the same footprint serves a switch today and a pilot lamp tomorrow. Modules share the cut-out and clip geometry, which speeds upgrades and reduces spares. For skids, use panel-mount inserts with threaded rings; for walls, select flush frames with matching surface adapters. DIN-rail carriers accept the same mechanisms in maintenance panels, keeping part numbers consistent from building to cabinet.

Key features and ordering specs

• Ratings: 10/16 A utility switching and outlets; heavy-duty inlets to CEE 16 A/32 A where equipment demands it.
• IP classes: IP20 for clean interiors, IP44 for utility rooms, IP65 for splash areas with gasketed lids.
• Wiring: push-in or screw clamp; double-terminal feed-through saves time on multi-gang frames.
• Functions: maintained/momentary, illuminated, key switch, indicator, emergency duty versions with red/yellow legends.
• Accessories: surface boxes (low/deep), hinged covers, frames (1–4-gang), label windows, sealing gaskets, adapter plates.
• Packaging: mechanisms in singles; frames and lids in multi-packs that fit line-side bins.

Applications and compatibility

Use in control rooms, MCC corridors, machine skids, test benches and service bays. The hardware sits alongside TS35 rails, terminal blocks and 24 V supplies; panel inserts share the same panel gauge as indicator lights and selector switches, which keeps machining simple. For cable entries, match gland IP to the outlet’s cover class. Many buyers specify weidmuller power outlets near panels to power laptops, lamps and small tools without tapping internal feeds.

Integration with other Weidmüller products

Switch modules and indicators align with the Ø22 door component ecosystem, so legends and emergency styles look consistent across the cabinet. Panel inlets pair with the brand’s PE/earth terminals for short bonding paths. Use matching markers so device IDs read the same from door plate to I/O list; frames accept the standard label carriers used on terminal blocks. For mobile tools, combine panel inlets with approved cords and strain-relief bushings from the same catalogue.

Selection criteria for B2B clients

• Environment/IP. Pick IP20 indoors, IP44 for damp utility zones, IP65 with lids in washdown.
• Mounting depth. Deep surface boxes handle rigid conductors and daisy-chain feeds; flush frames suit drywall and control desks.
• Function and access. Use key or covered switches where operators shouldn’t alter states; choose illumination for low-light bays.
• Wiring speed. Push-in cuts assembly time on repeat builds; screw clamps help with mixed cross-sections.
• Compatibility. Keep the same cut-out and frame set across sites; it reduces spares and speeds swaps.
• Bill completeness. Add frames, gaskets, label windows and lids on the same line—missing small parts cause most site delays.
