Product Description
The KUPO K6342 is a 63 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.

Compatibility
The KUPO K6342 mates with compatible KUPO products K1341, K1342, K2341, K2342, K3341, K3342, K4341, K4342. For a correct connection, match the connected device to the same ratings: 63A, 380-415V, 3P+E, 4-pole, IP67, 6h.
| 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 K6342 and what are its primary specifications?
The KUPO K6342 is a 63A CEE form appliance male for 380-415V power distribution. Primary specifications: Product type: Appliance Male, 63 A; Rated voltage: 380-415 V; Rated current: 63 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 K6342, the important distinction is that it is an appliance male in the 63A, 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 K6342 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 K6342 documentation, keep the matching K6342 product data sheet with the job file because the certification, withstand-voltage, and insulation-resistance values apply to this specific 63A IP67 appliance male variant.
What cable and termination details are listed for the K6342?
Terminal type: Screw terminal; Cable nominal cross-section area: 16 - 25 mm²; Terminal type: Screw terminal. For K6342, size the cable and gland around the listed conductor cross-section 16 - 25 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 K6342?
The product data lists K1341, K1342, K2341, K2342, K3341, K3342, K4341, K4342 as compatible with K6342. For safe mating, the connected product should match the electrical rating, pole configuration, IP rating, and earth contact clock position. For K6342, compatibility with K1341, K1342, K2341, K2342, K3341, K3342, K4341, K4342 depends on the same 63A, 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 K6342 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 K6342 is a 63A 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 K6342?
Front plate outside size: 101 × 101 mm Mounting hole spacing: 88 × 88 mm Front circular opening: Ø 83 mm Mounting hole diameter: 6.5 mm Side-view projection / depth: 101 mm Side-view overall height: 113 mm Cable nominal cross-section area: 16 - 25 mm². Use the K6342 dimensions, including front plate outside size 101 × 101 mm, mounting hole spacing 88 × 88 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.
