IEC 60309 320C6 IP44 Blue SplashProof Connector

IEC 60309 320C6 IP44 Blue SplashProof Connector

General Information:

The IEC 60309 320C6 IP44 Blue Connector is a splashproof industrial grade connector rated for 250V and 20A. It is generally used on power cords, power drops, and temporary power boxes. These types of applications can be found in industrial, commercial or construction settings. IP44 is known as the "Splashproof" Rating, which breaks down to sealing against solids no smaller than 1.0mm and spraying water at the connection from any angle.

IEC 60309 includes “plugs, socket-outlets and couplers for industrial purposes”. The IEC 60309 standard puts an emphasis on safety through a unique arrangement of pins and earth/ground to ensure that only compatible devices are able to mate. The pin and sleeve design of this standard provides some degree of weatherproofing, indicated by its IP (Ingress Protection) marking. The connectors (female) used in this series are IP44 which provide splash-proof protection. Overall, this standard is common in open-air conditions where high power draw is required and protection from individuals, dust, water and chemicals is desired. The IP code, as defined by standard IEC 60529, classifies the degrees of protection provided against the intrusion of solids and liquids. 

What does the IEC309 320C6 IP44 Connect to?




IEC 60309 320P6 IP44 Blue PlugThe IEC309 320C6 IP44 Splashproof connector is intended to plug into the matching IEC309 320P6 IP44 Blue Plug. This plug is commonly used in industrial settings where some water or solids are constantly present around the electrical connection.
