Product Description
The KUPO K213-B is a 16A CEE form inline female connector for 220-250 V single-phase industrial and temporary power. Built to IEC 60309-1/2:2021 and GB/T11918.1/2-2014, it combines a 2P+E, 3-pole layout, 6h keyed earth position, screw terminals, brass contacts with a natural copper finish, and IP44 splash-proof protection for indoor and covered-site use. The housing uses flame-retardant nylon (PA), glow-wire 650 °C for dependable connection work on job sites, factory floors, event power systems, and other demanding installations.

Compatibility
The KUPO K213-B is made to IEC 60309 dimensional standards and mates with the listed KUPO compatible products: K013, K0131, K0132. For safe connection, the mating device should match the 16A, 220-250 V, 2P+E, 3-pole, IP44, and 6h clock-position ratings shown in the product data.
| 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
This black housing option still relies on the listed rating and keyed earth position for correct matching. The keyed clock position of the earth contact helps prevent cross-mating between incompatible systems, so always confirm amperage, voltage, pole configuration, IP rating, and clock position before installation.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the KUPO K213-B and what are its primary specifications?
The KUPO K213-B is a 16A CEE form female plug for 220-250V power distribution. Primary specifications: Product type: female plug, 16 A; Rated voltage: 220-250 V; Rated current: 16 A; Earth Contact Position: 6h; Poles: 2P+E, 3-pole; Protection grade: IP44; Withstand voltage: AC 2500 V; Insulation resistance: 500 V DC 1 min > 5 MΩ. For K213-B, the important distinction is that it is a female plug in the 16A, 220-250V, 2P+E, 3-pole, IP44, 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 K213-B support?
Certifications listed in product data table: TUV, CB, CE Certification marks shown on PDF: TÜV Rheinland Certified, CB, 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 K213-B documentation, keep the matching K213-B product data sheet with the job file because the certification, withstand-voltage, and insulation-resistance values apply to this specific 16A IP44 female plug variant.
What cable and termination details are listed for the K213-B?
Terminal type: Screw terminal; Cable entry diameter range: Ø 5.5 - 13.5 mm; Cable nominal cross-section area: 1 - 2.5 mm²; Terminal type: Screw terminal. For K213-B, size the cable and gland around the listed cable entry range Ø 5.5 - 13.5 mm; conductor cross-section 1 - 2.5 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 K213-B?
The product data lists K013, K0131, K0132 as compatible with K213-B. For safe mating, the connected product should match the electrical rating, pole configuration, IP rating, and earth contact clock position. For K213-B, compatibility with K013, K0131, K0132 depends on the same 16A, 220-250V, 2P+E, 3-pole, IP44, 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 K213-B 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 K213-B is a 16A IP44 female plug for 220-250V, 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 K213-B?
Overall length shown in side view: 153 mm Side-view body height: 69 mm Front-view outside width: 50.5 mm Cable entry diameter range: Ø 5.5 - 13.5 mm Front-view connector style: Female connector front view shown Cable nominal cross-section area: 1 - 2.5 mm². Use the K213-B dimensions, including overall length shown in side view 153 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.
