Legrand 050196 Plug 2K+E Black

The Legrand 050196 plug is designed for connecting portable electrical equipment to an AC mains supply. It is intended for use in household and near-household environments, as well as in locations where the connection point may be exposed to dust and moisture. With an IP44 protection rating, the product is suitable for installation in places where splashing water and solid particles may be present, while it is not intended for heavy-duty conditions according to VDE requirements. The plug is made of plastic, with thermoplastic used as the material type. This housing material provides electrical insulation and is suitable for everyday connection applications. The straight connection angle simplifies cable routing without changing the direction of the lead, which is convenient when assembling power cords or performing replacement work on existing connections. The connection method is based on a screw terminal, allowing the conductors to be securely fixed during installation. Such a terminal design is practical for cable assembly work where stable contact retention is required. The plug is also specified in a 2K+E configuration, meaning it is intended for two contacts plus earth, so it can be used with equipment that requires a protective grounding conductor. The rated current is 16 A, which makes this model suitable for many common portable household devices within the allowable load range. The black housing color gives the product a neutral appearance that can be used in various technical and interior environments without drawing attention to the installation point. Overall, the Legrand 050196 is a plug for power connections where grounded connection, IP44 protection, a straight cable entry, and screw-terminal wiring are required. It combines a standard construction with a thermoplastic body and is suited for practical use in indoor installations with increased protection requirements.
