The Siemens 5UB4711 is the most affordable surface-mounted IP44 Schuko socket in the DELTA fläche range. It delivers the essential outdoor and damp-room protection — IP44-rated hinged cover, thermoplastic housing, and screwless terminals — without the extra-cost features (increased touch protection, labeling field, multi-point locking) found on higher-tier DELTA fläche models. Rated 16A/250V with double terminals for loop-through wiring.

When to choose the 5UB4711 over other DELTA fläche sockets

Choose the 5UB4711 when you need a basic, reliable IP44 outdoor socket and do not require child-safe shutters or a labeling window. It is commonly used in garages, utility rooms, covered outdoor areas, and general damp-room circuits where touch protection is not mandated. For installations requiring increased touch protection — kindergartens, schools, public areas — step up to the 5UB4717 which adds child-safe shutters.

Surface-mounted installation: what to expect

The socket mounts directly onto any flat wall surface — no flush masonry box needed. Cable entry is via push-on nipples accepting 8–13.5 mm diameter cables. The hinged spring flap snaps shut automatically when the plug is removed, maintaining the IP44 rating without user action. Screwless plug-in terminals speed up wiring — simply strip and push in.
