E-T-A Electronic Overcurrent Protection

August 28, 2025
Image

E-T-A Electronic Overcurrent Protection Devices are ideally suited to protect equipment components in industrial applications and supply lines which are fed by means of a DC24V switch-mode power supply.

Electronic overcurrent protection prevents dips of the output voltage of switched mode power supplies both in the event of short circuit and overload. At the same time these devices provide selective protection or disconnection. Switching high capacitive loads and indicating a functional error is possible without any problems. Fault indication is by means of LEDs and auxiliary contacts. This helps with trouble-shooting and increases machine run times.

Schurter launched an electromechanical micro switch with a switching capacity of 10A,48VDC.

EDC: Safe Switching of Direct Current

  • Uniquely compact design – ideal
    for mobile applications
  • Extremely durable (over 1 million
    switching cycles)
  • Available in 2 versions (universal
    and Schurter specific)
  • Rated current 10 A at 48 VDC

The Schurter EDC (Electronic Direct Current) switch was specifically engineered for the reliable switching of direct current in compact systems. It combines the mechanical precision of a microswitch with integrated power electronics.

The result of Schurter's new development: completely arc-free. Arcing is one of the greatest safety risks when switching direct current. The use of modern semiconductors completely eliminates arcing.

With the well-known feel of mechanical switches, the load current is switched electronically without galvanic isolation. This protects both the system and the environment from damage caused by sparking or EMC interference.

Long-Lasting and Reliable
At the same time, the EDC achieves well over a million switching cycles, as there is no arc-related erosion of the contacts. This extends the service life and reduces maintenance costs.

Ultra-Compact Design
Thanks to its compact design, the switch can also be integrated in confined installation situations. This is ideal for onboard systems in electromobility, compact power distribution systems in the aerospace industry or mobile robot solutions. The EDC also scores highly in industrial control systems with battery buffered DC supply thanks to its high level of safety, energy efficiency and ease of installation.

2 Variants
The new Schurter EDC is available in two versions. Firstly, as a stand-alone version (EDC 02) for universal actuators, and secondly as a Schurter-specific version for the MSM II switch as an actuator (EDC 01). Both versions are designed for a rated current of 10 A at 48 VDC.

Robust and Future-Proof
With the EDC switch, Schurter addresses the growing demands for safety, miniaturization and eliability in modern DC applications – a robust solution for future-proof designs.

Schurter dd11

DD11 and DD21 – New with Rotated Switch

  • Designed for medical applications
  • 2-pole fuseholder
  • DD11: 2-pole switch
  • DD21: 1- or 2-pole switch
  • V-Lock cord retention

The Schurter DD11 and DD21 power entry modules, which are already used in a variety of applications, are now available in a version with a rotated switch. This meets the specific requirements of medical applications where the switch (rocker) must be rotated by 180°: the switch-on position is at the top and the switch-off position is at the bottom.

With their ultra-compact design, the power entry modules DD11 and DD21 are the ideal choice for low-profile designs. They are all-in-one solutions comprising an IEC C14 connector, a fuse holder and a switch. All the individual components are pre-wired. This significantly reduces assembly time. The compact design and three-in-one functionality allow less space to be used in the equipment. The power entry modules DD11 and DD21 are ideal for applications involving high transient loads.

New with 180° Rotated Switch
Schurter newly offers two different variants with switch-on and -off position rotated by 180°, thus meeting the requirements of many medical electronic applications.

V-Lock Cord Retention
All DD11 and DD21 modules, including these new variants with rotated switch, are equipped with the proven V-Lock cord retention system as standard.

Application Areas
The new variants are suitable for applications according to IEC/UL 62368-1 (Audio/video, information and communication technology equipment), IEC 60601-1 (Medical electrical equipment) and IEC 60335-1 (Electrical appliances for household and similar purposes). They also meet the requirements for appliances in unattended use. This includes the enhanced requirements of glow wire tests acc. to IEC 60695-2-11 or -12 & -13.

Schurter DG11 Magnetic Release Power Entry Module

August 6, 2025
Image
Schurter dg11

DG11 – With Additional Magnetic Release

  • Thermo-magnetic circuit breaker for increased
    short-circuit protection
  • V-Lock cord retention
  • Water- and dustproof (IP67)

The Schurter DG11 power entry module, which has been optimized and proven over many years, is now available in a version with an additional magnetic release to protect against very high overcurrent (short circuit).

Circuit breakers are usually designed according to the thermal principle with a bimetal. If a defined temperature is exceeded due to the overcurrent, the circuit is interrupted. Once the bimetal has cooled down, the device is ready for use again. However, this process is very slow. For this reason, thermal circuit breakers are usually combined with a fuse.

New with Additional Magnetic Module
Schurter is upgrading its TA35 2-pole miniature circuit-breakers with an additional, optional magnetic module. From now on, no additional fuse is required for the thermal-magnetic versions. Depending on the application, the magnetic modules are available with both slow and fast characteristics.

V-Lock Cord Retention
The new versions of the DG11 connectors are equipped with the proven V-Lock cord retention protection as standard.

Splash- and Dustproof: IP67
The DG11 power entry module is fitted with special sealing elements (gaskets) to achieve the very high degree of protection IP67.

Application Areas
Wherever dirt, dust particles or water occurs, and the highest safety standards are required, these new Schurter power entry modules are the perfect choice. Typical areas of application are harsh industrial environments or demanding medical applications where cleaning and disinfection as well as maximum protection against overcurrent (short circuit) are required.

Schurter MSS-IO: Electronic Switch with IO-Link Interface

July 29, 2025
Image

With the MSS-IO, Schurter is entering the field of bidirectional communication via switches in industrial automation. The MSS-IO is based on the successful Schurter MSS electronic switch, which has been expanded to include an IO-Link module.

Schurter mss10

The MSS-IO switch from Schurter is based on wear-free resistance measurement and completely avoids mechanical components. Instead of capacitive technology, a precise change in electrical resistance is used for switch detection: sensitive enough to detect the smallest changes in pressure, robust enough for industrial series processes. Ultrarugged, precise and easy to integrate.

IO-Link Interface
The IO-Link interface allows bidirectional communication, parameterization during operation and real-time diagnostics. The connection is made via standard M12 connectors. Predictive maintenance and simple integration into existing Industry 4.0 environments are guaranteed.

Features

  • IO-Link Communication protocol
  • Resistive electronic switch (LA) / pushbutton (MO) without moving parts
  • Triggering of the switching mechanism by light pressure on the switching surface
  • Multicolor illumination
  • Hygienic operation
  • Trendy design
  • Insensitive to water
  • Side illumination
  • Wearless - no moving parts

Easy to Clean
Thanks to the closed surface, the switch is insensitive to water, dirt and cleaning substances. This is a clear advantage in hygienically sensitive areas such as food processing or laboratory automation. The absence of moving parts minimizes the maintenance effort and increases the service life enormously.

Applications

  • Automation Technology
  • Robotics
  • Hygiene-Critical Applications
  • Scenarios with High Demands on Precision, Process Reliability & Digital Communication
