Marine steel socket 16 A – code: 14.302.00 – Osculati

Marinco 16 A Steel Socket Osculati (code 14.302.00)

The Marinco 16 A steel socket by Osculati, code 14.302.00, is a solution designed for electrical systems in the nautical field and for applications where robust components suitable for working in exposed environments are required. The construction is oriented towards connection protection and contact continuity, with a configuration of 3 poles and characteristics declared by the manufacturer for use in environments subject to humidity and splashes.

This version is indicated as 3-wire socket in AISI 316 stainless steel with male contacts, and is offered as a component to create or restore power connections in an orderly and professional manner, in line with the typical needs of onboard maintenance.

Features and construction details

Structure and materials

• Body in AISI 316 stainless steel (steel version).
• Components made of high-strength glass-filled thermopolymer (as per manufacturer description).
• Nickel-plated brass contacts.

Electrical configuration

• Rated current: 16 A
• Voltage: 230 V
• Poles: 3
• Contact type: configuration

Protection and sealing degree

The socket is indicated as completely waterproof and with protection rating IP56 (as stated in the description associated with the variant). These characteristics make it suitable for installations where connection point protection is an important requirement, for example in areas exposed to splashes or challenging environmental conditions.

Product identification

• Brand / supplier: Osculati S.r.l.
• Supplier product code: 14.302.00
• Line/standard: Marinco (as per product name)

Typical applications

This socket is commonly used in contexts of onboard electricity and generally in systems where a component with robust construction and adequate protection is desired. In particular, it can be considered for:

• Creation or replacement of sockets on existing systems in the nautical field.
• Installations in areas where connection protection against external agents is useful.
• Localized maintenance and restoration on power lines with configuration at 3 poles.

For the correct choice, it is important to verify the correspondence with your own system (pole scheme and type of coupling required) and with any complementary component (plug/counterpart) provided in the connection system.

Operational advantages

• Materials oriented for use in marine environments: the version in AISI 316 is suitable for contexts where resistance to external agents is a relevant factor.
• Protected connection: the indication of protection for and IP56 supports use in exposed installations.
• Nickel-plated brass contacts: common solution to promote contact stability and surface protection.
• 3-pole configuration: suitable for many power supply applications in the nautical field.
• Identifiable spare part: the code 14.302.00 facilitates the management of replacements and reorders in a professional context.

Usage and installation notes

General indications

Before installation, check that the socket is consistent with the system in terms of voltage, power, number of poles and type of contacts. In case of replacement, it is advisable to also compare dimensions and fixing methods with the existing component.

Coupling with other components

The Marinco range includes components to be coupled (plugs and accessories). If you are configuring a complete system, make sure that the counterpart is the one intended for the correct series and desired configuration. When multiple similar variants are present, referring to the product code is the safest way to avoid incompatibilities.

Safety and good practices

• Operate with the system powered off and follow the prescribed safety procedures.
• Ensure tightening and the order of connections to maintain a stable connection over time.
• If in doubt about the installation, consult qualified personnel.
