Product Description
The KUPO K6242 is a 32 A CEE form appliance male inlet for bringing 380-415 V power into equipment, panels, and distribution assemblies. Built around a 3P+E, 4-pole configuration with a 6h keyed earth position, it gives installers a clear, standardized connection point while helping prevent mismating with incompatible CEE systems. Its watertight IP67 housing pairs screw terminals, brass contacts, and flame-retardant nylon (PA) + PC with 650 degrees Celsius glow-wire performance, making it a practical choice for wet and exposed industrial environments.

| 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
Red identifies the 380-480V IEC voltage class used by this inlet. The keyed clock position of the earth contact helps prevent cross-mating between incompatible voltage systems, so always verify amperage, voltage, pole configuration, and clock position before installation.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the KUPO K6242 and what are its primary specifications?
The KUPO K6242 is a 32A CEE form appliance male for 380-415V power distribution. Primary specifications: Product type: Appliance Male, 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 K6242, the important distinction is that it is an appliance male 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 K6242 support?
Certifications listed in product data table: TUV, CB, CE Certification marks shown on PDF: TUV 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 K6242 documentation, keep the matching K6242 product data sheet with the job file because the certification, withstand-voltage, and insulation-resistance values apply to this specific 32A IP67 appliance male variant.
What cable and termination details are listed for the K6242?
Terminal type: Screw terminal; Cable nominal cross-section area: 1 - 2.5 mm²; Terminal type: Screw terminal. For K6242, size the cable and gland around the listed 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 K6242?
The product data lists K1241, K1242, K2241, K2242, K3241, K3242, K4241, K4242 as compatible with K6242. For safe mating, the connected product should match the electrical rating, pole configuration, IP rating, and earth contact clock position. For K6242, compatibility with K1241, K1242, K2241, K2242, K3241, K3242, K4241, K4242 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 K6242 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 K6242 is a 32A IP67 appliance male 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 K6242?
Front plate outside size: 87 × 87 mm Mounting hole spacing: 71 × 71 mm Front circular opening: Ø 47 mm Mounting hole diameter: 5.5 mm Side-view projection / depth: 86 mm Side-view overall height: 94 mm Cable nominal cross-section area: 1 - 2.5 mm². Use the K6242 dimensions, including front plate outside size 87 × 87 mm, mounting hole spacing 71 × 71 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.
