AISI 316 50 A 220 V POWER SOCKET

What is the AISI 316 50 A 220 V Power Socket and why choose it

The Osculati AISI 316 50 A 220 V power socket is a heavy-duty shore power inlet designed for boats and yachts that require a robust 220 V / 50 A AC connection. Made with AISI 316 stainless steel and high-quality insulating materials, it offers a durable, corrosion-resistant interface between the shore power cable and the vessel’s electrical system. Its construction makes it especially suitable for harsh marine environments and frequent use in marinas.

Based on available distributor information, this model corresponds to Osculati code 14.325.00, but this identification is not independently verified. For complete and verified data, consult the official Osculati technical datasheet.

Main features

• Marine-grade AISI 316 stainless steel front for excellent resistance to corrosion in saltwater environments (mirror-polished finish reported, not independently verified).
• Rated for 50 A at 220 V AC, suitable for demanding onboard electrical systems requiring high current shore power feeds.
• Heavy-duty marine design intended for vessel shore power applications.
• Composite insulating body (polycarbonate reported by third-party sources, not independently verified) to provide electrical insulation and mechanical strength.
• Metallic power contacts with surface treatment (chrome-plated or similar finish reported, not independently verified) designed to improve conductivity and resistance to oxidation.
• Cable outlet area with protection (according to reseller information) to reduce strain and help shield the cable entry from mechanical damage.
• Compatible with matching 50 A / 220 V plug from Osculati/Marinco-style systems (exact combinations must be checked in the official Osculati documentation).

FAQ

1. Is this socket suitable for saltwater environments?

Yes, it is described as using AISI 316 stainless steel, which is commonly chosen for marine and saltwater environments due to its high corrosion resistance. This information is based on distributor descriptions and should be confirmed in the official Osculati datasheet.

2. What electrical rating does it support?

The socket is listed for use at 50 A and 220 V AC in Osculati price lists and reseller catalogues. Always verify that this rating matches your vessel’s electrical design and applicable regulations.

3. Does it include the matching plug or protective cap?

Available information suggests that the socket is sold as a separate component. Matching 50 A / 220 V plugs and caps are typically offered under different Osculati codes. Check the official Osculati catalog or datasheet to confirm the correct accessories.

4. Can I install this socket myself?

Installation of shore power equipment should be performed by a qualified marine electrician familiar with local electrical regulations and standards. Incorrect installation can create serious safety risks.

5. Is the ingress protection (IP) rating known?

No reliable IP rating information is available in the sources consulted. If the IP degree of protection is important for your project, consult the official Osculati technical datasheet before purchasing.

6. Is this socket compatible with standard marina shore power cables?

It is intended for 50 A / 220 V shore power systems, but exact mechanical and electrical compatibility depends on the plug type and regional standards. Compatibility must be checked against the matching plug model specified by Osculati.

7. What maintenance does the socket require?

As with any marine electrical connector, periodic inspection for corrosion, mechanical damage and secure connections is recommended. Use only cleaning methods and products allowed by Osculati and by relevant electrical standards.

8. Where can I find fully verified technical data?

For fully verified and up-to-date information (dimensions, wiring details, standards compliance, IP rating and accessories), consult the official Osculati technical datasheet and catalog for the AISI 316 50 A 220 V power socket.

Section 14: Transport information

The AISI 316 50 A 220 V power socket is an electrical hardware component, not a chemical substance or mixture. Based on its nature and typical classification of such products, it is generally not considered dangerous goods for standard transport modes (road, sea, air). This statement is indicative only and not independently verified.

For formal transport classification, packaging requirements and any applicable regulations (for example ADR, IMDG, IATA), the shipper should refer to the latest official documentation provided by Osculati or by the distributor, and apply local legal requirements.

Section 8: Individual protection measures

The product itself does not present significant risks during normal handling, but electrical installation and maintenance operations can be hazardous if not performed correctly. The following recommendations are generic good practices and are not a substitute for official safety instructions:

• Ensure the shore power supply and onboard electrical system are completely de-energised and locked out before working on the socket.
• Use appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) for electrical work, such as insulated gloves and safety glasses, in accordance with local regulations.
• Use insulated tools suitable for electrical installations.
• Avoid working in wet conditions when connecting or disconnecting shore power, unless the installation and equipment are specifically designed and rated for such conditions.
• Only qualified personnel should carry out installation, inspection and repair of shore power systems.

These measures are general recommendations and may not cover all situations. Always follow the safety instructions and installation guidelines provided by Osculati and comply with local electrical safety regulations.
