The Siemens 5UB1852 is the standard titan white Schuko socket outlet with a hinged cover from the DELTA style series. It is the 5UB185x standard-line counterpart to the 5UB1842 — identical in dimensions, color, and build quality, but without the increased touch protection feature. For residential and general commercial installations that do not mandate enhanced safety, the 5UB1852 delivers the same electrical performance at a more economical price.

5UB1852 vs. 5UB1842 — Standard or Increased Touch Protection?

Both are titan white Schuko sockets with a spring-loaded hinged cover and 68×68mm cover plate. The 5UB1842 adds increased touch protection (erhöhter Berührungsschutz), which prevents finger contact with live pins during plug insertion and is required by some German commercial building codes. The 5UB1852 meets standard VDE 0620 safety requirements without the enhanced feature. If your project specification does not explicitly require increased touch protection, the 5UB1852 is the cost-effective choice with no compromise in everyday safety or performance.

Installation Notes

The 5UB1852 uses plug-in terminals for fast wiring and mounts into standard flush-mount back boxes via claw and/or screw fixing. It accepts all CEE 7/4 (Schuko) plugs. Halogen-free thermoplastic housing, RoHS compliant, VDE 620 certified.
