PCE

Industrial CEE plugs and sockets built to IEC 60309 are PCE’s core business, and the Austrian manufacturer’s connectors are found throughout European event power systems. The working core here runs from 16A and 32A plugs, sockets and panel connectors in 230V single phase and 415V three phase, stepping up to 63A and 125A for distro feeds.

Black-bodied versions of the common 16A connectors suit stage work where standard colour housings would stand out, and yellow 110V connectors cover site transformer supplies. Distro builders are served by panel sockets and inlets for IMST and ISCHL enclosures, MERZ distribution boxes bringing RCD and MCB protection to 63A feeds with 32A and 16A breakouts, and H-CONNECT splitters for quick mains fan-outs.

Festoon is a speciality of its own, with ready-made BC festoon runs at 1m spacing and lamp guards for marquee and outdoor lighting. Production electricians and distro builders can order on trade accounts, with advice on connector selection and enclosure compatibility where a build gets complicated.
