32A Commando Plugs & Sockets

Industrial 32A ceeform connectors to BS EN 60309 sit at the heart of most event power systems, and this range covers the PCE and Mennekes parts working electricians actually fit: line plugs and sockets, panel sockets and appliance inlets across 230V single phase, 415V three phase and 110V site voltage, in IP44 splashproof and IP67 watertight grades.

Get the pin configuration right before anything else. 2P+E covers single phase, 3P+N+E gives you three phase with a neutral for single phase breakouts downstream, and 4P+E suits three phase loads that need no neutral. Colour coding and keyways stop voltages cross-mating, so a blue 230V plug will never seat in a red 415V socket. Choose IP44 where connections live under cover and IP67 where they will sit in standing water or open weather. Panel sockets send power out of an enclosure while appliance inlets bring it in, and angled inlet bodies make cable dressing inside shallow distro cases considerably easier.

These are the same connectors we fit to our own distro builds, and they pair naturally with the 63A range and the power distribution category.

32A Commando Plugs & Sockets FAQs

Which pin configuration do I need? 2P+E for 230V single phase, 3P+N+E for 415V three phase, plus the 110V site variants. Get this right first; the colour coding (blue/red/yellow) follows voltage. System context in power distribution explained.

IP44 or IP67? IP44 splashproof covers most staging and indoor distro; IP67 watertight is the outdoor and festival-site answer.
