Overview
The Stahl 8575/12 plug is part of R. STAHL’s CES Series industrial connector system designed for hazardous-area applications. Rated 110-130V AC at 50/60Hz with a 3-pole configuration (1P+N+PE), this EEx de IIC T6 explosion-proof plug provides secure, reliable connections in classified environments. The locking plug design ensures stable mating with corresponding 8575/13 sockets.
Key Features
- EEx de IIC T6 certification for Group II hazardous areas with flammable gas/vapor
- 3-pole (1P+N+PE) configuration with 16 A rated current capacity
- IP66 ingress protection rating—sealed against dust and water jets
- Floating pin design for quick insertion and removal
- Self-cleaning, corrosion-resistant connector pins ensure reliable electrical contact
