Gen3 250V 15A API315 3 Pin Appliance Inlet

Gen3 250V 15A API315 3 Pin Appliance Inlet

The Gen3 API315 is a 15A single phase appliance inlet designed for fixed 3 flat pin power connection points. It is a practical choice for electrical fit-outs where a robust inlet is required for a 250V single phase supply, including caravan, RV, motorhome, trailer, off-road vehicle, food van, workshop and industrial applications where this inlet type is specified.

Built in the Series 56 style format, the API315 suits installations that need a weather resistant industrial switchgear solution rather than a light-duty domestic fitting. Supplier data lists the inlet as IP66 rated, helping protect the enclosure against dust ingress and water jets when correctly installed with suitable mating components and installation practices.

Why choose the Gen3 API315 inlet?

• 15A single phase rating: Rated at 250V and 15A for 3 flat pin appliance inlet applications.
• IP66 industrial format: Designed for demanding environments where a weather resistant industrial inlet is required.
• Surface mount design: Suits fixed equipment and enclosure installations where a defined inlet point is needed.
• Durable component selection: Supplier data lists PCA18 virgin grade plastic, 316 stainless steel springs and mounting screws, and brass internal components with greater than 85% copper content.
• Broad fit-out use: Commonly used across caravan, RV, motorhome, trailer, off-road vehicle, food van and industrial installations.

Built for professional electrical installations

The API315 provides a straightforward inlet point for incoming single phase power where a 15A 3 flat pin connection is required. Its compact dimensions make it easy to integrate into equipment panels, vehicle fit-outs and purpose-built enclosures, while the industrial housing format provides a more substantial solution than standard light-duty connection hardware.

Gen3 supplier information states that the industrial switchgear range uses virgin grade plastic, stainless steel springs and mounting screws, plus high copper content brass internal components. These material choices are aimed at improving service life and electrical contact performance in trade and mobile applications.

Fit-out applications

This inlet is well suited to new builds, replacements and fit-out work where the specification calls for a 15A 250V single phase 3 flat pin appliance inlet. It is particularly relevant for mobile power installations, temporary power equipment, food van electrical systems, caravan and RV inlet points, and workshop equipment where a fixed inlet connection is preferred.

For a compact, professional 15A single phase inlet with IP66 industrial switchgear construction, the Gen3 API315 is a practical component for dependable power connection points in trade and mobile installations.
