FAQs
What is the primary advantage of this safety socket?
The primary advantage is its adherence to strict safety standards (IEC 1010) and high overvoltage ratings (CAT II/III/IV), ensuring user protection in demanding electrical environments.
Can I use any 4mm plug with this socket?
The socket is designed to accept both specialized shrouded 4mm plugs and standard 4mm plugs.
What does '6.35mm Faston termination' mean?
This refers to the type of electrical connection the socket uses. It requires a mating connector with a 6.35mm (0.25 inch) blade-style terminal, often called a Faston or quick-disconnect terminal.
What is the overvoltage rating?
The socket is rated for CAT II 1000 V, CAT III 1000 V, and CAT IV 600 V. This indicates the maximum voltage transients it can safely withstand in different electrical environments.
Are there other termination options available?
Yes, while this specific model has a 6.35mm faston termination, this product line is also available with solder or stud terminations.
What are the recommended tools for mounting?
For rapid and secure assembly onto panels, PJP offers a socket clamping tool (17-1480) and a nut wrench (17-1485).
How should I clean this safety socket?
Clean with a dry or slightly damp, lint-free cloth. Avoid solvents or abrasive cleaners to protect the insulation and contacts.
Troubleshooting
Socket not making a secure connection
Verify that the mating plug is fully inserted and is a compatible 4mm type. Check the 6.35mm faston termination for any debris or damage and ensure it is clean.
Intermittent connection or poor conductivity
Inspect the 6.35mm faston terminal and the mating connector for corrosion or damage. Clean both contacts thoroughly. Ensure the connection is tight and secure.
Socket appears loose on panel mount
Re-tighten the retaining nut or mounting mechanism. If possible, use the specialized fixing tools (17-1480, 17-1485) for a more secure installation.
Visual damage to insulation
If the polyamide insulation shows cracks or significant wear, discontinue use immediately and replace the socket to maintain safety standards. Do not attempt to repair damaged insulation.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: This 4mm safety socket features a 6.35mm faston termination. Ensure you have a compatible mating connector or that your wiring is prepared for this type of connection. For panel mounting, align the socket with the panel cutout and secure it firmly. Specialized fixing tools (socket clamping tool 17-1480, nut wrench 17-1485) are available to assist in rapid and secure assembly. Ensure connections are tight to maintain electrical integrity and safety.
Compatibility: The socket is designed to accept both shrouded 4mm plugs and standard 4mm plugs. It is specifically rated for overvoltages up to CAT II 1000 V, CAT III 1000 V, and CAT IV 600 V. Ensure the application environment does not exceed these ratings.
Care: To maintain performance and safety, regularly inspect the socket for any signs of damage, wear, or contamination. Clean the socket using a dry or slightly damp, lint-free cloth. Avoid using solvents or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the polyamide insulation or degrade the contact surfaces. Ensure the socket is disconnected from power before cleaning or inspection.
