The Siemens 5UB1464 is the silver-finish version of the DELTA profil hinged-cover SCHUKO socket — the metallic counterpart of the white 5UB1404. The spring-loaded flap provides the same dust and splash protection; the silver plate changes where this socket fits architecturally.

What is the same as the 5UB1404?

The hinged cover mechanism, the Type F receptacle (side earth clips, no center pin), the screwless plug-in terminals, the 65x65mm plate, the 10/16A and 250V ratings, and the IP20 classification are all identical to the 5UB1404. The cover opens downward to accept standard Schuko and Euro plugs. Angled and right-angle plugs work as long as the cord does not extend beyond the plate footprint.

What does the silver finish add?

Silver in the DELTA range conventionally maps to EDV/IT circuits in German VDE practice — a visual signal that this outlet is on a dedicated IT power network. In non-IT applications, the silver plate is simply the aesthetic choice for rooms furnished with metallic switchgear, stainless steel fixtures, or a cool-toned design palette. At approximately 0.100 kg, the 5UB1464 is marginally heavier than the white 5UB1404 (0.099 kg) — the difference is the metallic coating on the cover plate.
