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 380-415V power distribution. Primary specifications: Product type: Panel 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 K3242, the important distinction is that it is a panel-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 K3242 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 K3242 documentation, keep the matching K3242 product data sheet with the job file because the certification, withstand-voltage, and insulation-resistance values apply to this specific 32A IP67 panel-mounted female socket with hinged cover variant.
What cable and termination details are listed for the K3242?
Terminal type: Screw terminal; Dimension drawing summary: Mounting face 76 × 76 mm; mounting centers 61 × 61 mm; circular panel opening Ø 63 mm; mounting holes Ø 5.5 ± 0.2 mm; side-view overall depth 109 mm; rear projection segments 40 mm + 69 mm; front cover outside width 98 mm; cable nominal cross-section area 2.5 - 6 mm².; Cable nominal cross-section area: 2.5 - 6 mm²; Terminal type: Screw terminal. For K3242, size the cable and gland around the listed 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 K3242?
The product data lists K024, K0241, K0242 as compatible with K3242. For safe mating, the connected product should match the electrical rating, pole configuration, IP rating, and earth contact clock position. For K3242, 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 K3242 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 K3242 is a 32A IP67 panel-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 K3242?
Dimension drawing summary: Mounting face 76 × 76 mm; mounting centers 61 × 61 mm; circular panel opening Ø 63 mm; mounting holes Ø 5.5 ± 0.2 mm; side-view overall depth 109 mm; rear projection segments 40 mm + 69 mm; front cover outside width 98 mm; cable nominal cross-section area 2.5 - 6 mm². Front-view contact layout: 3P+E, 4-pole female contact layout shown Cable nominal cross-section area: 2.5 - 6 mm². Use the K3242 dimensions 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.
