Clipsal’s 56 Series range of plugs and connectors has a proud history of being the toughest and most trusted industrial switchgear on the Australian market.

Clipsal’s new 56 Series 32A to 50A size 2 plugs and socket connectors have undergone a design upgrade. Following the successful acceptance of our 10A to 20A size 1 plug and socket connector redesign, size 2 plugs and socket connectors are now faster to install and simpler to use.

The “snap-shut” body design means screw-less assembly, and Mactro Technology provides a revolutionary cord clamp and cable system all in one – with no need to remove the cable nut. Add to this the provision of two cable seals, which provide flexibility for small and large cables, and Clipsal 56 Series is by far the most superior switchgear available.

Plugs
Clipsal’s 56 Series plugs are available in either straight or angled options and feature a wide lock ring to make it easier to unscrew from sockets. When the plug is not being used, a protective cap is available to keep the plug pins free from foreign particles and to reduce tracking between the pins. The plugs can also be adapted with flexible cable and 56CSC extension socket and connectors to create robust extension leads.

Appliance connector range
Clipsal’s Three-Phase Extension Socket/Appliance Connector range is an important design breakthrough. It provides a common unit for both cord extension socket, and appliance connector applications. All connectors have impact-resistant, UV-stabilised mouldings. The IP66 rating can be achieved when extension sockets/connectors are used in conjunction with compatible accessories, such as 56P Plugs, 56PA Plugs and 56AI Appliance Inlets.

IP66 rated units feature a hose-proof flap, which maintains the International Protection Rating when the accessory is not being used. 56AM40 Adapter and 56SHL Suspension Hook suits three-phase plugs and appliance connectors in 32A to 50A ranges.

New accessories
There are two new accessories that complement the range extension: the 56SHL Suspension Hook, and the 56AM40 Adapter Module. The 56SHL converts plug and socket connectors into suspended products. The 56AM40 Adapter Module allows corrugated conduit or flexible hose glands to connect securely with the new range.
