The Siemens 5UB1580 is a DELTA line German Schuko socket outlet in white, supplied as a complete one-piece unit with an integrated 80x80mm full plate. Rated at 16A/250V with screwless plug-in connection terminals, it is designed for standard flush-mounted indoor installation. No separate cover frame is needed — the socket arrives fully assembled and ready to install.

What is the difference between the DELTA line full-plate socket and the DELTA i-system insert?

The DELTA line 5UB158x series is a complete, self-contained socket unit — the 80x80mm cover plate is permanently integrated. You order one part number, install it, and you are done. The DELTA i-system 5UB156x series uses a modular approach: a 55x55mm socket insert that must be paired with a separately ordered cover frame and plate. DELTA line is simpler and faster to order, while DELTA i-system gives you design flexibility to match frames across all switches and sockets in a room.

When is the basic Schuko socket the right choice?

The standard 5UB1580 is the economical, no-frills Schuko socket for residential and commercial spaces where circuit labeling, status indication, and increased touch protection are not required. It delivers the same 16A/250V performance as the premium variants — the difference is in the feature set, not the electrical capability.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this socket have increased touch protection (erhöhter Berührungsschutz)?

No. The 5UB1580 is the standard version without increased touch protection. If you need this safety feature, choose the 5UB1582 (white) or 5UB1583 (electric white).

Can I add a labeling field to this socket later?

No. The labeling field is an integrated feature of the DELTA i-system 5UB156x insert series. The DELTA line full-plate socket has a solid cover with no labeling window. If circuit labeling is important to your installation, consider the 5UB156x series instead.
