Schneider Electric PKE16M735 is an industrial IEC 60309 wander plug designed for rugged, low-voltage AC power connections in harsh environments. This straight in-line plug is rated 16 A at 380–415 V AC (50/60 Hz) and features a 3P+N+E configuration with red voltage coding and a 6 h earth position for correct mating with compatible sockets. The housing is made from self-extinguishing engineering polymer with brass sleeve contacts, providing durable performance for demanding site use.
Built for outdoor and washdown-prone applications, the PKE16M735 offers IP67 ingress protection and IK08 impact resistance. Captive-screw terminals support conductor cross-sections from 1 to 4 mm², while the Pg21 cable gland accepts cable outer diameters of 8 to 15 mm for a secure strain-relieved entry. Finished in grey (RAL 7035), the compact body measures approximately 142 × 89 × 89 mm and is suited to industrial equipment, temporary power distribution, and machinery connections requiring a robust 5-pole 400 V plug.

What type of connector is this item?
It is a straight industrial “wander plug” designed for low-voltage AC power connections, using an IEC 60309-style interface.
What electrical configuration does it use?
It is a 3P+N+E configuration (three phases, neutral, and protective earth), commonly used for three-phase applications requiring a neutral conductor.
What are the rated current and voltage?
The connector is rated at 16 A and 380…415 V AC, suitable for 50/60 Hz networks.
What does the 6 h keying/ground position mean?
The “6 h” marking indicates the protective earth (ground) position/keying per IEC 60309 conventions, helping ensure mating with the correct voltage/keyed counterpart.
Is it suitable for wet or dusty environments?
Yes. It is rated IP67 (per IEC 60529), meaning it is dust-tight and protected against temporary immersion when correctly mated and assembled.
How impact-resistant is the housing?
It has an IK08 impact rating (per EN 62262), indicating good resistance to mechanical impacts in industrial environments.
What cable sizes can be terminated in this plug?
It accepts conductors with a cross-section of 1…4 mm², secured using captive screw terminals.
What cable outer diameter range is supported?
The cable gland is designed for cable outer diameters of 8…15 mm to help maintain sealing performance.
What thread type is used for the cable entry?
The cable entry uses a Pg 21 thread, which is commonly used on industrial plug glands and accessories.
What materials are used for the housing and contacts?
The housing is a self-extinguishing engineering polymer, and the contact sleeves are brass.
What standards does it conform to?
It is designed in line with IEC 60309-1 and IEC 60309-2, which define requirements for industrial plugs and socket-outlets.
What are the approximate dimensions and weight?
Overall dimensions are approximately 142 mm (H) × 89 mm (W) × 89 mm (D), with a net weight around 0.21 kg (PKE16M735).
What do the color and voltage color indicate?
The body is gray (RAL 7035), and the voltage color is red—commonly associated with 380…415 V industrial IEC 60309 applications to help reduce mismating.
What ambient temperature range is it designed to operate in?
It is specified for operation from -25 to 40 °C, with typical industrial humidity allowances (up to 90% at 20 °C).
- Connecting portable three-phase equipment to 380–415 V industrial power outlets in factories and production areas
- Building or replacing IP67-rated extension leads for rugged indoor/outdoor power distribution
- Powering mobile machines and skids that require a 3P+N+E, 16 A IEC 60309 plug interface
- Temporary power hook-ups on construction and commissioning sites where weather and dust exposure are common
- Generator-to-load connections for three-phase portable power setups using the 6h keying position
- Providing reliable connections in damp or washdown-prone environments where a sealed industrial plug is preferred
