Compatibility
The KUPO K1242 is manufactured to IEC 60309 dimensional standards and is compatible with KUPO K024, K0241, and K0242. For a proper connection, pair it only with devices that match the 32A current rating, 380-415V voltage class, 3P+E, 4-pole configuration, IP67 protection requirement, and 6h earth contact clock position.
| Use with | CEE Form connectors or receptacles with the same amperage, voltage class, pole configuration, IP rating, and earth-contact clock position. |
|---|---|
| Verify before ordering | Amperage, voltage color, pole count, clock position, IP rating, cable diameter, and terminal size. |
| Do not use with | CEE connectors with different current ratings, different voltage classes, non-matching pole configurations, or a different earth-contact clock position. |
Voltage Color Convention
CEE form connectors use standardized housing colors to indicate voltage class. Red identifies the 380-480V IEC 60309 voltage class, matching the 380-415V rating on this model. The keyed clock position of the earth contact helps prevent cross-mating between incompatible systems, so always verify amperage, voltage, pole configuration, and clock position before installation.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the KUPO K1242 and what are its primary specifications?
The KUPO K1242 is a 32A CEE form waterproof surface-mounted female socket with hinged cover for 380-415V power distribution. Primary specifications: Product type: Surface Female, 32 A; Rated voltage: 380-415 V; Rated current: 32 A; Earth Contact Position: 6h; Poles: 3P+E, 4-pole; Protection grade: IP67; Withstand voltage: AC 2500 V; Insulation resistance: 500 V DC 1 min > 5 MΩ. For K1242, the important distinction is that it is a waterproof surface-mounted female socket with hinged cover in the 32A, 380-415V, 3P+E, 4-pole, IP67, 6h earth position configuration, so it should be selected for that exact CEE form arrangement rather than a nearby SKU with a different pole count, IP grade, or mounting style.
What safety and compliance standards does the K1242 support?
Certifications listed in product data table: TUV, CB, CE Certification marks shown on PDF: TUV Rheinland Certified, CE Environmental compliance: RoHS; non-RoHS optional Standards referenced: IEC 60309-1/2:2021; GB/T11918.1/2-2014 Withstand voltage: AC 2500 V Insulation resistance: 500 V DC 1 min > 5 MΩ Certification: TUV, CB, CE Salt spray resistance: > 48 h, no rust Impact test: -25 °C, 16 h, > 0.5 kg, 25°. For K1242 documentation, keep the matching K1242 product data sheet with the job file because the certification, withstand-voltage, and insulation-resistance values apply to this specific 32A IP67 waterproof surface-mounted female socket with hinged cover variant.
What cable and termination details are listed for the K1242?
Terminal type: Screw terminal; Cable entry diameter range: Ø 8.5-13.5 mm; Ø 11-18.5 mm optional; Cable nominal cross-section area: 2.5 - 6 mm²; Terminal type: Screw terminal. For K1242, size the cable and gland around the listed cable entry range Ø 8.5-13.5 mm; conductor cross-section 2.5 - 6 mm²; terminal type Screw terminal; using the cable assumptions from a larger or smaller KUPO CEE SKU can lead to poor strain relief or an incorrect termination.
Which product is compatible with the K1242?
The product data lists K024, K0241, K0242 as compatible with K1242. For safe mating, the connected product should match the electrical rating, pole configuration, IP rating, and earth contact clock position. For K1242, compatibility with K024, K0241, K0242 depends on the same 32A, 380-415V, 3P+E, 4-pole, IP67, 6h earth position; a connector with a different current rating, voltage color class, pole layout, IP grade, or clock position should not be treated as interchangeable.
Where is the K1242 typically used?
Designed and manufactured according to IEC 60309-1/2:2021 and GB/T11918.1/2-2014 for factory power distribution, machinery, construction sites, chemical plants, ports, airports, drainage and wastewater projects. Because K1242 is a 32A IP67 waterproof surface-mounted female socket with hinged cover for 380-415V, it fits installations that need that exact current capacity, mounting style, and environmental protection level; choose a different KUPO CEE SKU when the site requires another pole layout or ingress rating.
What dimensions are listed for the K1242?
Side-view overall length: 190 mm Side-view lower/front projection label: 48.5 mm Side-view vertical label: 70.8 mm Side-view height label: 98 mm Side-view overall height/depth label: 105 mm Cable entry diameter range: Ø 8.5-13.5 mm; Ø 11-18.5 mm optional Cable nominal cross-section area: 2.5 - 6 mm². Use the K1242 dimensions, including overall length 190 mm, for this exact body style when checking panel space, cable bend radius, cover swing, and service clearance; similar KUPO CEE products may not share the same envelope.
