        Clipsal by Schneider Electric | Surface Socket Quick Connect 10A 250V | White

        The Clipsal 413QC is a surface socket rated 240V/250V 10A, featuring the patented Quick Connect™ system for rapid TPS cable termination. Designed for single-conductor installation, the 413QC accepts 1–2.5 sq mm solid or stranded conductors and can terminate up to 2 sets of Active, Neutral and Earth leads simultaneously. Installation must be carried out by a licensed electrician and tested to AS/NZS 3112 before use. The 413QC is certified to Australian standards and is compliant with AS 3100, AS 3109 and AS/NZS 3122.

        The Quick Connect feature eliminates the traditional installation bottleneck. Instead of loosening terminal screws and manually winding cable around posts, electricians strip the TPS outer sheath, insert the conductors into colour-coded grooves, and clamp the hinged section down with pliers. The 413QC clamps down with a pair of pliers until the hinged section locks into place, holding the cable securely. Surface mounting means no wall box preparation is needed. The product is particularly valued on jobsites where speed and simplicity matter — multiple outlet banks can be installed in a fraction of the time a traditional wired socket requires.

        Licensed electricians favour the Clipsal 413QC for surface installation where quick-connect speed cuts labour time and TPS cable is standard on the job. The 413QC clamps with pliers and requires minimal training, making it secure for high-turnover and temporary work. The hinged clamp is intuitive: no traditional screw terminals. Colour-coded grooves prevent conductor misplacement. Stock rotation is straightforward since the 413QC is a single-function component with no product variants.

        Features

        • Quick Connect clamping system — strip, insert, and clamp with pliers, eliminating traditional screw-down terminal installation and saving installation labour on every outlet.
        • Surface-mount design — requires no wall box, flush-mount backing plate, or preparation; mounts directly to timber or solid surfaces with supplied screws.
        • Conductor range 1–2.5 sq mm — accepts solid or stranded TPS cable within the standard domestic and light commercial range, providing flexibility for various wiring setups.
        • Dual active/neutral/earth termination — can terminate up to 2 sets of Active, Neutral and Earth conductors, enabling rapid split or multi-circuit configurations on the jobsite.
        • 250V 10A rating — suitable for standard 10A MCB and RCD protection on residential and light commercial circuits carrying domestic loads.
        • Colour-coded grooves — visual guide prevents conductor misplacement and speeds up installation confirmation, reducing rework.
        • Compact plastic housing — 70mm length, 47mm width, 46mm depth fits tight surface-mounted locations without protruding unduly from the wall.
        • AS/NZS 3112 certified — complies with Australian/New Zealand power outlet standards and approved for domestic and commercial use without restriction.
        • Not suitable for damp locations — the 413QC is rated for interior dry surfaces only and should not be installed in bathrooms, kitchens with splash zones, laundries, or outdoor exposed areas.
        • Licensed installation required — connection must be made by a licensed electrician and tested under AS/NZS 3017 insulation resistance and continuity protocols before the outlet is energised.

        Where to use

        • Workshop power distribution — the 413QC is ideal for temporary or permanent workbench power, supplying tools and lighting from a surface-mounted point without wall-box preparation on timber walls or metal structures.
        • Renovation and retrofit sites — rapid installation makes the 413QC the first choice where existing walls cannot accommodate flush outlets, or where time on-site is critical.
        • Caretaker and holiday rental properties — surface-mounted additional outlets reduce guest complaints about power availability and minimise call-backs for extension-cord complaints.
        • Agricultural and horticultural buildings — the 413QC suits farm sheds, greenhouses, and outdoor structures (interior surfaces only) where quick-connect speed and no-wall-box simplicity reduce labour on non-standard installations.
        • Industrial and commercial jobsites — temporary or permanent single-outlet requirements where surface mounting avoids switchboard extensions and where TPS cable is already running.
        • Cable suspension installations — the 413QC mounts directly to cable tray or building structure, enabling fast auxiliary outlets without terminal-block infrastructure.

        The Clipsal 413QC is not suitable for damp, wet, or outdoor exposed locations, bathrooms, kitchens with splash zones, laundries, or any area subject to moisture ingress. The 413QC is an interior-only component and should not be installed in weatherproof or external applications.

        Verified Sparky Direct customer reviews: Clipsal 413QC Surface Socket Quick Connect (413QC)

        "Easy fit, perfect for the electrician to position in the ceiling." — Tim

        "Good quality and easy to use." — Bob

        (413QC)

        The Quick Connect system allows rapid termination without loosening traditional screw-down terminals. Strip the TPS cable outer sheath, insert the conductors into the colour-coded grooves, and clamp the hinged section down with pliers until it locks. All connections must be tested by a licensed electrician to AS/NZS 3017 before the outlet is energised.

        Installation of the 413QC must be carried out by a licensed electrician. The outlet requires correct termination, testing under AS/NZS 3017 insulation resistance and continuity protocols, and compliance confirmation before it is energised. Do not attempt self-installation.

        The 413QC accepts solid or stranded TPS conductors in the range 1–2.5 sq mm. This covers the majority of domestic and light commercial wiring setups. Conductor gauge must match the wire gauge on the job; consult the building plan or a licensed electrician if unsure.

        The 413QC can terminate up to 2 sets of Active, Neutral and Earth conductors simultaneously. This enables split circuits or multi-point configurations without requiring additional sockets or terminal blocks, making it suitable for rapid jobsite distribution layouts.

        No. The 413QC is rated for interior dry surfaces only. Do not install in bathrooms, kitchens with splash zones, laundries, or outdoor exposed areas. The product has no IP rating and is not suitable for damp or wet locations.

        The 413QC comes with a 1-year domestic warranty covering defects in material and workmanship. Commercial use warranty is also 1-year. Sparky Direct offers a 100-day money-back guarantee on the product if unused and in original packaging.
