Product Information
Full details
This Legrand 050252 Angled Rubber Plug is designed for demanding environments, offering robust IP20 protection and a secure 16A, 250V connection for heavy-duty applications. Its key benefit is the durable, impact-resistant construction and right-angled cable entry, ideal for tight spaces. A caveat is its IP20 rating, which means it's protected against solid objects but not water, limiting its use in wet conditions.

FAQs
What does IP20 rating mean?
IP20 means the plug is protected against solid objects larger than 12.5mm (like fingers) but offers no protection against water ingress. It is suitable for indoor, dry environments.
Can this plug be used outdoors?
No, due to its IP20 rating, this plug is not designed for outdoor use or in wet conditions.
What type of cable should I use with this plug?
Use a heavy-duty flexible cable suitable for the electrical load (up to 16A) and the specified voltage (250V), ensuring its outer diameter is compatible with the plug's strain relief.
How do I connect the wires?
The plug uses screw terminals. Strip the conductors, insert them into the appropriate terminals (Live, Neutral, Earth), and tighten the screws firmly.
What is the benefit of the angled cable entry?
The right-angled entry helps manage cables in tight spaces, reduces the overall profile of the connected equipment, and can prevent the cable from being easily snagged or pulled.
Is this plug suitable for home use?
While it can be used in a home workshop or garage for heavy-duty tools, its robust, industrial design might be overkill for standard household appliances.
What does 'halogen-free' mean?
Halogen-free materials do not contain halogens like bromine or chlorine. This is often preferred in certain industrial or public building applications due to potential safety benefits regarding smoke and toxic gas emissions during a fire.
Troubleshooting
Plug not receiving power
Verify that the socket is live and functioning. Check that all wires are securely connected to the correct screw terminals within the plug. Ensure the strain relief is not preventing proper contact.
Cable pulling out or loose
Tighten the screws on the strain relief mechanism to securely grip the cable's outer insulation. Ensure the correct size cable is used for the strain relief.
Overheating during use
Check that the load does not exceed the plug's 16A rating. Ensure all wire connections are tight, as loose connections can cause resistance and heat. Inspect for any physical damage to the plug.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Durable and impact-resistant thermoplastic build for longevity.
- Right-angled cable entry is space-saving and prevents cable kinking.
- Secure screw terminal connections ensure reliable power.
- Integrated strain relief protects against cable damage.
- Halogen-free materials enhance safety in certain environments.
Cons
- IP20 rating limits use to dry environments only.
- Designed for specific heavy-duty applications, may be over-engineered for light use.
- Rubber construction can attract dust in very dusty environments.
- Requires manual wiring via screw terminals, not a plug-and-play solution.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Ensure the power source is disconnected.
- Unscrew the plug housing.
- Strip the cable conductors to the appropriate length for the screw terminals.
- Connect the live, neutral, and earth wires to the corresponding screw terminals. Ensure a firm connection.
- Secure the cable using the integrated strain relief, ensuring it grips the outer insulation.
- Reassemble the plug housing.
Compatibility:
- Compatible with standard 2P+T (2 Poles + Ground) sockets rated for 16A and 250V.
- Suitable for cables with an outer diameter that fits within the strain relief mechanism.
Care:
- Clean with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
- Periodically check screw terminals for tightness and strain relief for effectiveness.
- Inspect the housing for any signs of damage.
