• The panel wall is 0.5-1.2 mm thick, and the conductors are solid 0.5-2.5 mm².
• The circuit is within 20 A and 250 V.
• The installation is indoors and dry - AC 166 is IP20 unplugged and IP40 plugged.
• You will connect and disconnect only without load, and fit locking pins where the connection is accessible.

How it is installed

1. Clip the plug into a cut-out in a wall 0.5-1.2 mm thick - the catch wings hold it.
2. Push the stripped solid conductors (8-9 mm) into the push-in terminals - two clamping units per pole allow through-wiring.
3. Connect an AC 166 cable socket with the same pole count and coding.
4. Connect and disconnect only when there is no load on the circuit.

Where it is used

• Lighting installations in offices, shops, schools and hospitals
