Marechal Plugs & Sockets (ATEX) For Hazardous Area Industries (Chemicals & Refineries)
Decontactors = Plug + Socket-Outlet + Motor Load Make/Break Switch. No ordinary plugs and sockets, Marechal Decontactors permit safe connection and disconnection of electrical equipment from live power supply, with no requirement for hard-wiring or contactor.
Watch our Marechal video providing an overview of EX products certified for hazardous areas including plug-socket outlets, lighting, control stations (Zone 2), junction boxes, flameproof electrical enclosures and electrical socket boxes
Ex Certification
Marechal’s plugs and sockets as well as socket-outlet boxes and junction boxes are certified in compliance the ATEX 2014/34/EU Directive and are also IECEx certified for use in Zone 1 and Zone 2 (Gases) & Zone 21 and Zone 22 (Dusts).
Proven Safety In Harsh Operating Conditions
Marechal’s ATEX plugs and sockets have a compact housing and are designed with personal safety in mind with quick release which automatically isolates the power to eliminate the risk of arcing.
Quality & Reliability
Designed to be long lasting and reliable, Marechal’s ATEX plugs and sockets have spring-loaded butt contacts to maintain a reliable electrical connection and the contacts are tipped with silver-nickel to provide resistance against corrosion.
Water & Dust Tight Sealing
Marechal plugs and sockets are automatically watertight (IP66/IP67) when the plug is inserted into socket allowing the plug and socket to be resistance against steam-cleaning, water jets and chemicals and eliminating the need to turn a sealing ring.
Optional Auxillary Contacts
Most Marechal plugs and sockets have optional auxiliary contacts allowing for the connection of thermistor, control or signal with ease.
Optional Mechanical Locking
Marechal ATEX plugs and sockets also offer an optional locking systems to prevent accidental power supply to a machine during maintenance

Marechal plugs and sockets are waterproof, designed to withstand airborne and permanent humidity found within the food and beverage industry.
In the food and beverage industry electrical safety is critical where plant and machinery is subject to daily deep cleaning, high pressure water spray and steam cleaning.
Electrical power plugs and installations must be protected from water and dust ingress, impact shock and resist microbiological contamination in hazardous area applications.
Decontactor = Plug + Socket + Motor Load Make/Break Switch
Marechal plugs & sockets can be disconnected under full load for planned maintenance or rapid change out of equipment during plant shutdowns without need for separate isolators and associated hard-wiring.
The decontactor from Marechal is supplied with an integral load-break switch offering technical benefits including quality contact, safe disconnection under load, watertight seal (up to IP68) and power supply reliability.
Marechal Plugs & Sockets For The Food & Beverage IndustryMarechal plugs and sockets are designed to suit all food and beverage industry applications and are fitted with a built-in switching function called a Decontactor which allows the plug and socket to be connected and disconnected with ease, under load, and without risk of electrocution to workers.
Users can quickly and simply connect and disconnect Marechal plugs and sockets either from the wall-mounted electrical outlets or cable coupler to machinery such as conveyors, control stations, packaging units and silos.
Marechal DSN plugs and sockets are specified throughout the food processing and production industry for low voltage power distribution with current ratings 20A-63A.
DSN plugs provide IP66/67/69 ingress protection for resistance to intensive and deep cleaning associated with pressure power washing of food hygiene areas, including CIP (Cleaning in Place).
Marechal DSN plug and sockets provide unequalled strength over time and and have an impact resistant GRP casing providing IK08 shock resistance and protection against mechanical impacts up to 5 joules, guaranteeing robust, fast and safe operation during maintenance work – compliant with the IEC EN 60309-1 standard and the European Low Voltage Directive.
DSN range of plugs and sockets are watertight, robust, resistant to chemicals and steam cleaning – ideal for all your food plant safety needs, allowing your production facilities to be as efficient as possible without risk of unplanned downtime caused by sub-standard specification plugs and sockets.
Marechal plugs and sockets are manufactured from highest quality advanced materials with excellent resistance to aggressive chemicals, cleaning solutions, saline solutions, diluted acids, hydrocarbons, mineral oils and alcoholic substances for use in highly corrosive atmospheres.
Butt pin contacts enable the Marechal DSN plug to be safely disconnected on full load – no requirements for separate local isolators.
For humid & corrosive environments – steam cleaning
Silver-nickel butt contacts resist corrosion even after years of operation and the automatic socket seal resists steam cleaning, water jetting and corrosive chemicals and detergents.
Simple operation in fatty or humid environments
Even if wearing protective gloves the operator can simply press the release button to eject the plug and a quarter turn removes the now “dead” plug from its socket. For extra safety in-line connections are also switched off.
Daily shutdown and machine mobility
Acts as local isolation, padlocking available ON/OFF.
Robust requirements
The glassfibre-reinforced (GRP) casings protect against mechanical damage up to 5 joules (IK08) and have an operating temperature of -40°C and +60°C.
Marechal also manufacture plugs and sockets for explosive atmospheres in accordance with ATEX Directive 2014/34/EU and used in Zones 1 and 2 (gas) and Zone 21 and Zone 22 (dust) including the DXN ATEX plug and sockets.
