The Siemens 5UB1917 is the essential hinged-cover Schuko socket in the 5UB191x DELTA i-system line. It provides the spring-loaded flap for dust and casual contact protection without the additional internal touch-protection shutters, making it the most cost-effective hinged-cover option in the white colour line. It is the counterpart to the electric-white 5UB1907, distinguished only by the pure white (RAL 9010) shade.

How does the 5UB1917 differ from the 5UB1915?

The two are mechanically identical in every respect except one: the 5UB1915 includes increased touch protection (internally shuttered live and neutral apertures), while the 5UB1917 does not. Both use the same white finish, screwless push-in terminals, 55×55 mm format, and hinged cover with a 150° opening angle. The 5UB1917 is the correct choice when the installation does not require increased touch protection under the applicable wiring regulations.

How does this differ from the electric-white 5UB1907?

Functionally and mechanically identical. The only difference is the white shade: 5UB1917 is pure white (similar to RAL 9010), while 5UB1907 is electric white (similar to RAL 1013, a warm off-white). Choose the 5UB1917 to match a titanium white DELTA i-system frame and switch programme.

Does the hinged cover provide any touch protection on its own?

The hinged cover acts as a mechanical barrier when closed, but it is not certified as increased touch protection under DIN VDE 0620-1. Once the cover is lifted, the socket apertures are directly accessible. For installations where VDE-compliant increased touch protection is specified, the 5UB1915 with internal shutters must be used instead.
