Mennekes

Ceeform plugs and sockets are what Mennekes does, and the German manufacturer is one of the defining names in IEC 60309 pin-and-sleeve connectors, the fittings that power the events industry worldwide.

Stage Supply carries the ratings a production electrician works with. At 16A and 32A there are 230V plugs and sockets from the ProTOP, AM-TOP and PowerTOP families in IP44 and IP54, including black-bodied versions for stage use, plus 415V three-phase types in 3P+E and 4P+E. For feeder and mains intake duty the 63A and 125A PowerTOP Xtra range is sealed to IP67, and genuine Mennekes Schuko sockets cover continental touring racks and export builds.

The selection logic is straightforward. IP44 16A is the everyday distro workhorse; step up to IP54 or IP67 where connectors live outdoors or on wet sites, and to the 63A and 125A sizes for generator tails and larger supplies. Rental companies standardising on one connector brand across a distro system can open a trade account, and our engineers can advise on matching ratings and IP levels from stage boxes back to the intake.
