  • Product description

    Portable SCHUKO plug FAMATEL 23960 – 16A, 230V, 2P+E, IP67, white/blue, rewireable

    The FAMATEL 23960 portable SCHUKO plug is designed for connecting 230 V electrical equipment using a cable. It is a 2P+E type plug with earthing, a 16 A nominal current, cable gland, protective cap, and a high IP67 protection rating. This white/blue straight plug is suitable for technical, industrial, agricultural, workshop, or damp environments where a more reliable, cable-mounted electrical connection solution is required.

    Core concept:
    This plug is intended for preparing or repairing a 230 V power cable when a SCHUKO-type connection with grounding, a cable gland, and superior protection against dust and moisture is needed. The IP67 protection is particularly relevant where standard household plugs are not sufficiently resistant to environmental factors.
    Current
    16 A
    Voltage
    230 V
    Protection
    IP67
    Cable
    Up to 3x2.5 mm²

    Operating principle

    The portable SCHUKO plug is mounted onto a power cable and used to connect electrical equipment to a compatible 230 V socket. Conductors are connected inside the plug: two live poles and a protective earth contact. Once properly installed, the plug allows for safe power transmission to the connected equipment, provided the load does not exceed the 16 A nominal current.

    The cable gland helps secure the wire and reduces the risk of moisture, dust, and mechanical impact at the cable entry point. The cap helps protect the contact area when the plug is not in use or when kept in a technical environment.

    Why is the IP67 protection rating useful?
    IP67 denotes high protection against dust and temporary water immersion according to IP classification logic. In practice, this protection depends on correct cable entry, gland tightening, the condition of the cap, and the use of a compatible socket. This is important in workshops, farms, industrial, or damp environments.

    Where is it used?

    • For making or repairing power cables – when a SCHUKO plug needs to be mounted on a cord.
    • In workshops and service centers – for connecting tools, technical equipment, or extension cords.
    • In agricultural buildings – where there may be a higher risk of dust, moisture, or mechanical impact.
    • In industrial environments – when a more robust 230 V plug is required than a standard household variant.
    • In outdoor or semi-outdoor conditions – when the plug is used with a properly selected cable, socket, and ensured seal.

    Practical assembly example

    For example, the plug is mounted on a 3-core power cable intended for a 230 V tool, appliance, pump, or other technical equipment. The live conductors are connected to the corresponding poles, and the protective conductor to the earth contact. The cable gland is tightened so that the cable is held securely and the seal is maintained.

    This solution is suitable when preparing a more durable power cable for a damp, dusty, or technical environment, but it is essential to ensure the load does not exceed 16 A.

    Pros

    • IP67 protection class – high protection against dust and water effects if installed correctly.
    • SCHUKO format – suitable for 230 V equipment with grounding.
    • 2P+E contact system – has a protective earth contact.
    • With cable gland – helps secure the wire and maintain sealing.
    • With cap – additional protection for the contact area when not in use.
    • Possibility to use 3x2.5 mm² cable – suitable for more robust power cables according to installation requirements.
    • Industrial-type construction – a more suitable solution for technical environments than a simple household plug.

    Cons / limitations

    • 16 A current limit – not suitable for loads exceeding the nominal current of the plug.
    • Requires correct installation on the cable – improper conductor connection or gland tightening can reduce safety and IP protection.
    • IP67 depends on installation quality – proper cable, gland, cap, and compatible socket are necessary.
    • Not suitable for three-phase equipment – this is a 230 V SCHUKO 2P+E plug.
    • Installation should be performed by a professional – proper selection of cable, contacts, and protection devices is essential.

    Safety and installation notes

    The SCHUKO plug is an electrical installation component; therefore, before installation, it is necessary to evaluate the load, cable type, conductor cross-section, grounding, the socket used, and environmental conditions.

    • Installation must be performed by a qualified electrician in accordance with current electrical safety requirements.
    • Do not exceed the 16 A nominal current – excessive load can cause overheating or damage to the contacts.
    • Must connect grounding – the protective conductor must be connected to the PE contact.
    • IP67 protection is only valid if installed correctly – it is important to properly tighten the cable gland and use the correct cable.
    • Use only with the 230 V SCHUKO system – the plug is not intended for 400 V three-phase equipment.
