Why choose a cover plate with a hinged lid?

A hinged lid (spring flap) closes automatically over the socket when the plug is removed — protecting the contacts from dust, splashes, and accidental touch. This is especially useful in kitchens, bathrooms, workshops, and any environment where sockets are exposed to moisture or debris.

Does the 5UH1204 include the socket insert?

No. The 5UH1204 is the cover plate and hinged lid assembly only. The Schuko socket insert is ordered separately and clicks into any standard DELTA i-system 55x55mm frame.
