When power connections fail, everything grinds to a halt. Walther Electric’s IEC 60309 Pin & Sleeve devices are built to stop that from happening — delivering safe, consistent connections where reliability is a must.
From shipyards to job sites to temporary event power, these devices are trusted worldwide because they solve the same problem everywhere: how to keep power moving safely, no matter the environment.
Safety That’s Built In
IEC Pin & Sleeve devices are designed so mistakes don’t happen in the field:
- Ground connects before power, and breaks last.
- Keyed ground pin positions (the “clock system”) mean mismatched voltages or configurations won’t mate.
- Covers snap shut automatically when unplugged, keeping moisture, dust, and fingers out.
It’s not just about compliance — it’s about knowing your equipment won’t put people or systems at risk.
Rugged Enough for Real Work
A connector is only as good as its weakest part. Walther builds for the harshest conditions:
- Non-conductive housings that withstand impact, UV, and corrosion
- Brass contacts that stay tight under vibration and heavy use
- Internal strain relief to protect terminals and keep cables secure
This is hardware that lasts — even when the environment doesn’t cut it any slack.
A Global Standard You Can Trust
WALTHER-WERKE has been part of this story from the start. In the early 1960s, we developed a proposal for industrial plugs and sockets that became the European CEE17 standard — the direct predecessor of today’s IEC 60309. While IEC standards are created collaboratively by international committees, Walther’s early contributions helped shape the “pin & sleeve” connector system now used worldwide.
That’s why every Walther IEC device is single-rated, keyed, and sized to fit only where it belongs — keeping power safe, consistent, and reliable wherever it’s used.
