The Siemens 5UB4717 is the standard-tier DELTA fläche surface-mounted single socket with increased touch protection. Mechanical shutters behind each contact opening prevent accidental contact with live parts — the shutters only retract when both pins of a Schuko plug are inserted simultaneously against them. IP44 hinged cover, screwless plug-in terminals, and thermoplastic construction for outdoor and damp-room use.

5UB4717 vs 5UB4715: two touch-protection sockets — which one?

Both are gray DELTA fläche single sockets with increased touch protection, IP44 rating, and hinged covers. The 5UB4715 is positioned in the upper-tier DELTA fläche range alongside the lockable 5UB4714 and simultaneous-locking 5UB4705, with a slightly heavier build (0.144 kg). The 5UB4717 is the standard-tier touch-protection model. If the installation specification does not call out either model by name, they are functionally interchangeable for general damp-room socket duty — both deliver the same child-safe shutter mechanism and IP44 environmental protection.
