Discussion

meirs May 4, 2011:
Fr DJ = En CB I agree - this is why a made the comment about "DJ 30 mA"
rkillings May 4, 2011:
disjoncteur … is usually "dj". If a ground fault interrupter rather than a simple overcurrent device were specified, you'd expect to see "dj diff" (disjoncteur différentiel).
meirs May 4, 2011:
DJ 30mA Most likely refers to a RCCB - Residual Current Circuit Breaker (rated to trip at 30 mA leakage) - not a plain thermal/magnetic CB - what's the FR name of such a device ?

socket [BE] / outlet [AE] panel / strip

You'll probably find other, glossier terms, but this is the basic meaning.

It's a strip or panel (usually for fitting into a 19" rack) carrying mains sockets for plugging misc. equipment into

socket strip

these are common for mains in which case they are called power strips or power socket strips.
For low current application, I would leave out the power bit and simply call them socket strips.

multiple socket(s)

I'd like to have seen a picture of the device just to be sure but I'm proposing multiple socket(s). If 'bandeau' is in the singular, then 'socket' without 's'.
Peer comment(s):
neutral Tony M : That would really be a multiprise, I don't think it would be an accurate description of this particular device.

agree Alexandra Speirs : if you do a Google image search of both bandeaux de prises and multiprises, the pictures all look like multiple sockets!
