16A Surface mounted inlet plug for caravan or similar

Do you mean exposed pins when there is no plug in the inlet?

So just insert a "bare" 16A plug into the socket when it is not been used.

No idea about IP rating (but has a cover)

Or more of an enclosure, than a cover

Subject line says ?surface mount?

How about fitting the brand name inlet of choice with a separate captive cover?

It's an inlet, the male plug pins are dead, so what's the problem?

The flap cover on these connectors is on the female (outlet, socket) and latches on to the male connector. I don't think I ever seen a flap on cable or chassis mount male from 16 to 125A single and 3 phase.

I can't see it... surface outlets (female) with flap but none of the surface inlets (male) that I can find using "32A surface" as the search term have flaps.

I meant socket eg

No expert on these but the the flap seems to have no influence on the IP rating but just by observation I note that the IP67 rating only applies to those male plugs with what appears as a locking ring the engages on a suitable female socket with a flange that?s accepts the locking ring which probably acts a seal for water ingress. This to me makes sense in that that it is only in use that the IP rating needs to apply.

Thanks but it looks vulnerable to being stolen and back to square 1.

Thanks, I have come across ones like this, but wary of the no-name aspect of purchasing one of these.

I think that is the closest I'm going to get to a flap for a named make of surface plug.

I was concerned over crap and dirt as well as corrosion of the pins. As you say the pins should not be live.

Apologies, I seem to have been mistaken.

Who had this:

Thanks, you have found what I wanted. CEF was the last place I would normally have looked as they are generally so over-priced.

In the end I got a no-name one. However the moulding looks identical to the Mennekes 847 and convinced it must be the same one, except at a fraction of the price.
