Product Description
Across workshops, site power panels, and industrial equipment where three-phase industrial power needs a secure fixed outlet, the KUPO K3242 provides a waterproof 32 A CEE form panel female socket for 380-415 V systems. Its hinged cover, 6h keyed earth position, screw terminal, and flame-retardant nylon (PA) + PC housing are built for wet, dusty, or washdown-prone work areas, while the IP67 rating and IEC 60309 dimensional format help crews connect compatible CEE plugs with confidence.

Compatibility
The KUPO K3242 is manufactured to IEC 60309 dimensional standards and is compatible with KUPO K024, K0241, K0242. For safe mating, the connected plug or device should match the same 32A, 380-415V, 3P+E, 4-pole, IP67, and 6h 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
CEE form connectors use standardized housing colors to make voltage class easy to identify at a glance. Red identifies the IEC 60309 higher-voltage three-phase range for this product, while the 6h keyed earth position helps prevent mating with incompatible systems. Always match amperage, voltage, pole configuration, IP rating, and clock position before installation.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the KUPO K3242 and what are its primary specifications?
The KUPO K3242 is a 32A CEE form panel-mounted female socket with hinged cover for 380 to 415 V power distribution. It is rated 32 A at 380 to 415 V, with a 3P+E, 4-pole configuration, a 6h earth contact position and IP67 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 K3242 support?
The K3242 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 K3242?
It uses a screw terminal. Conductor cross-section is 2.5 to 6 mm². Size the cable and gland to these K3242 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 K3242?
The K3242 mates with KUPO K024, K0241 and K0242. A safe mate needs a connector with the same ratings: 32A, 380 to 415 V, 3P+E, 4-pole, IP67 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 K3242 typically used?
Typical uses include factory power distribution, machinery, construction sites, chemical plants, ports, airports, drainage and wastewater projects. As a 32A IP67 panel-mounted female socket with hinged cover for 380 to 415 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 K3242?
Key K3242 dimensions: Mounting face 76 × 76 mm; Mounting centers 61 × 61 mm; Circular panel opening Ø 63 mm; Mounting holes Ø 5.5 ± 0.2 mm; Overall depth 109 mm; Rear projection segments 40 mm + 69 mm; Front cover outside width 98 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.
