In search of a Schuko-style outlet that's simple to install? Choose this plug socket from Siemens. As a one-gang type, it provides an electrical connection point for plugging a single piece of kit into the mains. A maximum operating voltage of 250V AC means it's a practical pick for domestic applications. Thanks to a hardwearing thermoplastic outer casing, you'll find it resists damage from impact for durability in busy settings. The unit's hinged cover also shields the electrics inside from hazards, giving it an ingress protection rating of IP44. This means the socket is splash-resistant from all angles and stands up to solid objects larger than 1mm.
