Waterproof Flush-Mount Schuko Socket 16A 220V (Covered, IP54)

This flush-mount Schuko outlet allows you to have a standard 230V socket even in damp, outdoor conditions. Construction: It features a plastic body with a square flange for four screws – this provides a secure, watertight installation on any flat surface (for example, a bulkhead, deck coaming, or electrical panel). The internal receptacle is a Schuko type (Type F, with two round slots and a grounding contact), which accepts all standard European plugs. The protective lid is spring-loaded – it automatically closes when a plug is removed, preventing ingress of water, dust, and debris. With the lid closed, the socket achieves an IP54 protection rating, sufficient to withstand rain, wave splashes, or deck washdowns.

On the back, the outlet has screw terminals for wiring (live, neutral, ground). The cable entry is flexible, allowing feed either from behind or the side (depending on your mounting configuration), and it provides a seal around the cable. The entire assembly is corrosion-resistant – it’s recommended to use stainless steel mounting screws (not included) to match the non-corrosive housing.

• On-Boat Use: You can install this outlet in a protected area of the deck or cockpit to have a convenient 230V socket for power tools, chargers, or other appliances when connected to shore power or an inverter. It’s also useful in interior locations that may get damp (e.g., an engine room or a head compartment) – the lid will keep the socket dry when not in use.
• On-Land Use: Great for RVs and campers – it provides an exterior plug point on the vehicle for plugging in a lamp, electric grill, or other gear under an awning. At home, it can be used in gazebos, garages, or garden enclosures for occasional needs, while the outlet remains shielded from the elements.
• Quality & Safety: The socket includes built-in child safety shutters – a standard feature for Schuko outlets to prevent accidental insertion of foreign objects. The polymer housing material is self-extinguishing (flame retardant) and can withstand the temperature extremes typical of outdoor installations.
• Installation Dimensions: The compact design (flange approximately 65 x 85 mm) and standard round cutout (~45 mm diameter) make this outlet compatible as a replacement for many existing panel sockets. The depth behind the panel is about 50 mm, providing space for wire connections. Ensure the flange gasket sits flush to achieve optimal moisture sealing.
• Maintenance: After installation, periodically inspect the lid’s gasket for any wear and check the tightness of the terminal screws (especially on a vibrating platform like a boat). With proper installation, this outlet will give years of reliable service, bringing the convenience of mains power to wherever you need it.
