Product Description
The KUPO K213A-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/T 11918.1/2-2014, 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.
Key Features
- 16A inline female connector for 220-250 V systems with 2P+E, 3-pole configuration.
- 6h keyed earth position helps prevent mating with incompatible voltage systems.
- IP44 protection helps guard against splashing water and solid objects larger than 1 mm.
- Screw terminals support straightforward field wiring for 1 to 2.5 mm² conductors and Ø 5.5 to 13.5 mm cable entry.
- Brass contacts with a natural copper finish provide a durable current path for repeated industrial use.
- Flame-retardant nylon (PA), glow-wire 650 °C housing supports impact resistance, insulation, and flame-retardant performance.
- Black + black housing with black insert makes the connector easy to identify in a power distribution setup.
- Compatible KUPO counterparts listed for this model: K013, K0131, K0132.

Applications
- Temporary and permanent single-phase power distribution on construction sites, workshops, and factory floors
- Cable assemblies, extension leads, portable equipment, and site distribution boxes
- Light machinery, single workstations, maintenance areas, and general service power
- Ports, airports, drainage and wastewater projects, and other industrial environments
- Entertainment, live event production, and commercial power distribution where CEE compatibility is required
Compatibility
The KUPO K213A-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.
| 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 K213A-B and what are its primary specifications?
The KUPO K213A-B is a 16A CEE form female plug for 220 to 250 V power distribution. It is rated 16 A at 220 to 250 V, with a 2P+E, 3-pole configuration, a 6h earth contact position and IP44 protection. Withstand voltage is AC 2500 V, and insulation resistance is 500 V DC 1 min > 5 MΩ. Choose it for this exact combination of ratings, because nearby CEE form SKUs differ in pole count, IP rating or mounting style.
What safety and compliance standards does the K213A-B support?
The K213A-B is TÜV Rheinland, CB and CE certified and is designed and manufactured to IEC 60309-1/2:2021 and GB/T 11918.1/2-2014. It is RoHS compliant, with a non-RoHS option available. Test data: withstand voltage AC 2500 V; insulation resistance 500 V DC 1 min > 5 MΩ; salt spray resistance > 48 h, no rust; low-temperature impact test -25 °C, 16 h, > 0.5 kg, 25°.
What cable and termination details are listed for the K213A-B?
It uses a screw terminal. The cable entry accepts cable diameters of Ø 5.5 to 13.5 mm. Conductor cross-section is 1 to 2.5 mm². Size the cable and gland to these K213A-B values. Cable choices made for a larger or smaller CEE form SKU can lead to poor strain relief or an incorrect termination.
Which product is compatible with the K213A-B?
The K213A-B mates with KUPO K013, K0131 and K0132. A safe mate needs a connector with the same ratings: 16A, 220 to 250 V, 2P+E, 3-pole, IP44 and 6h earth position. Never treat a connector with a different current rating, voltage color class, pole layout, IP rating or clock position as interchangeable.
Where is the K213A-B typically used?
Typical uses include factory power distribution, machinery, construction sites, chemical plants, ports, airports, drainage and wastewater projects. As a 16A IP44 female plug for 220 to 250 V, it suits installations that need this exact current capacity, mounting style and protection level. Choose a different KUPO CEE form SKU when the site needs another pole layout or IP rating.
What dimensions are listed for the K213A-B?
Key K213A-B dimensions: Height: 69 mm; Overall length: 153 mm; Front outside diameter: 50.5 mm. Use these figures for this exact body style when checking panel space, cable bend radius, cover swing and service clearance, because similar CEE form products may differ.
