Socket COLONIAL - standard - Porcelain white
Sockets made entirely of porcelain - a small detail that perfectly rounds off the wall design in the country house kitchen or traditional bathroom. The nostalgic porcelain socket outlets blend harmoniously into the rustic ambience and lend a charming, authentic character.
A Schuko socket outlet (type F) with earthing contact is the standard for socket outlets with earthing in Germany. It offers protection against electric shocks by reliably discharging electrical currents. The socket outlet has two round contacts for phase and neutral as well as two earthing contacts.
The socket outlet is equipped with an integrated shutter. A shutter is a safety cover that closes the holes in the socket outlet. It can only be opened when a plug is inserted correctly. This prevents children from inserting sharp objects into the socket and causing an electric shock.
Matching porcelain cover frames are available as single frames and multiple frames. The multiple frames correspond to the standardised spacing of 71 mm. The porcelain white COLONIAL socket outlet is traditionally equipped with screw contacts and fits into standard flush-mounted sockets.

General product information
-
Rotary switches are a relic from earlier times. But they are now available again, also as a variant for today's standard flush-mounted installation. With rotary switches, switching on the light becomes a conscious act of switching on the light again - with a small audible "click".
The COLONIAL porcelain switch system is manufactured in Spain by the long-established manufacturer FONTINI, whose products we distribute in Germany. Porcelain has always been a popular material in electrical engineering: porcelain has a crystal-clear aesthetic, a pleasant feel and particularly good insulating properties.
