The Siemens 5UB1825-1 is a platinum metallic SCHUKO socket outlet from the DELTA style series, carrying the same EDV inscription as the white 5UB1825 but in a premium metallic finish. Rated at 16A/250V with an IP20 flush-mount design, it protects IT and data processing circuits from accidental disconnection while adding a refined visual touch to visible installation points.

What distinguishes the platinum metallic finish?

The platinum metallic cover plate elevates the socket beyond a purely functional component. It is specified for installations where sockets are visible rather than concealed behind furniture — executive offices, boardrooms, reception areas, and high-end conference facilities. The metallic surface resists fingerprints and retains its appearance longer than standard white thermoplastic in high-touch locations.

When should you choose 5UB1825-1 over 5UB1825?

Both sockets share the same electrical ratings and EDV circuit identification function. Choose the 5UB1825-1 when the socket will be mounted at eye level or in customer-facing spaces where the standard white cover plate would look out of place against premium wall finishes and designer switch plates. The EDV inscription ensures the functional signal is preserved regardless of the finish upgrade.
