The Mennekes 1473 panel mount industrial power connector offers a highly reliable solution for connecting three-phase or multiphase electrical loads in industrial, commercial, and construction environments. With a current rating of 16A and voltage support up to 400V, this connector is engineered for robust power distribution and is suitable for demanding applications such as machinery, power panels, and portable industrial equipment.

This unit features a 4-pole configuration, ensuring secure and accurate connections for both neutral and protective ground lines. The housing and insulator are made from high-grade polycarbonate - Amaplast - known for excellent mechanical durability and electrical insulation. The angled 20-degree design enables easy plug insertion and extraction on vertical or hard-to-reach surfaces, reducing wear and risk of accidental disconnection.

The connector includes screw terminal contacts for straightforward, vibration-resistant cable terminations. Integrated IP44 ingress protection shields against dust and splashing water, making the device suitable for most indoor and sheltered outdoor installations. The red color code provides immediate voltage identification as mandated by industry standards, improving safety in complex setups.

Additional safety is provided by the latching spring return cover, which automatically closes when not in use. Ribbed mounting flanges add installation rigidity, while fully shrouded terminals protect users and installers from accidental contact. The product operates effectively across temperatures of -25°C to +55°C, with brass contact tubes and pins aligned for secure and reliable engagement free from misconnection. Each unit is supplied with a sealing gasket to enhance environmental resistance.

The Mennekes 1473 connector is type-tested to VDE requirements and supports both 50Hz and 60Hz electrical operation. Commonly used in industrial automation, portable power distribution, machine tool systems, HVAC controls, distribution boards, and areas requiring repeatable high-integrity power connectivity. Its high-grade construction meets the expectations of modern manufacturing, mining, utility, and plant maintenance operations.
