KONTAK-SIMON Simon 54 White Single Socket with Ground, Type E, 16A 250V, Screw Terminals, Child Safety Shutters

Once you've wired a few rooms with the Simon 54, you'll notice the difference: the contacts grip firmly, the shutters slide smoothly, and the white faceplate stays clean even after years of use. This single socket with ground (Type E) from KONTAK-SIMON is built for everyday reliability, whether you're renovating an apartment or outfitting an office.

Why it works for you

• Child safety shutters are standard – no extra fiddly covers to lose.
• Screw terminals accept up to 2.5 mm² rigid wire, so you can daisy-chain multiple sockets without worry.
• The PC/ABS thermoplastic faceplate resists scratches and yellowing – wipe it down and it looks new.
• Rated 16 A / 250 V AC, it handles everything from a vacuum cleaner to a space heater.

Who it's for

If you're a homeowner with small kids, the shutters give you one less thing to stress about. If you're an electrician, the screw terminals and standard 1-module size make installation quick and predictable. It fits flush-mounted boxes and integrates seamlessly with the Simon 54 system – mix it with switches and other modules in the same frame.
