IP54 in Plugged State with the Dedicated Power Cord
• Very high protection against dust and moisture
• V-Lock Cord Retention
• IEC 60320 and IEC 60529 compatible connection
Protection against dirt particles and moisture is becoming increasingly important. With the product type 6080 and the associated V-Lock power cable, Schurter is launching an IP54 device connection that also meets very high demands.
The newly developed Schhurter 6080 is an IEC 60320 and IEC 60529 compatible appliance inlet. In combination with the dedicated power cord, an IP54 protection rating is achieved when plugged in. An IP54 connection provides excellent protection against dust particles and is splash-proof.
Special Sealing Elements
The blue color of the V-Lock cable socket already indicates that something is different here. The appliance inlet as well as the connector of the power cord have been equipped with special sealing elements to achieve a higher IP-Protection.
V-Lock Cord Retention
The new device plug connection also has the industry proofed V-Lock cord retention system. Mechanical safety clips, which often must be designed for specific types, are no longer a necessity.
Application Areas
Wherever dirt, dust particles or splash water may occur, the new SCHURTER technology is the perfect choice. This may be the case in harsh working environments in industry. In the medical field, a higher IP protection rating is mandatory. This is simply due to the necessity of cleaning and disinfecting medical equipment on a regular basis, and even sterilizing it if required. The food processing industry has very similar requirements.
IP54 Family in Planning
The product type 6080 will soon be followed by other products. Schurter will equip a complete family of device connections with this innovative technology.

Cynergy3 has both flowmeters and flow switches amongst its range of measuring instruments.
Cynergy3 manufacture flowmeters and flow switches that can accurately measure liquid volumes ensuring correct dispensing in a wide range of industrial applications. Our ultrasonic flowmeters can be specified to have a range of outputs and are commonly used in hot or cold beverage dispensing providing reliable, safe, consistent results for customers. The flow switch acts on demand to start or stop the flow of liquid avoiding over or under filling.
Coolant flow is another important application where monitoring flow is necessary to keep cooling systems working effectively. Our flow switches can be programmed to automatically manage flow, activating or deactivating pumps as needed to keep flow within the recommended parameters.
Features & Benefits:
• A range of sensors suitable for many fluid types and temperatures including low flow applications
• Offered in a variety of sizes to fit a wide range of industry standard pipes
• A choice of inline or paddle switch options to suit your needs
• Ultrasonic Flowmeters that are unaffected by contaminants and automatically compensate for variations in temperature or viscosity
• Food safe products available, NSF approved
• WRAS approved for applications linked to the UK mains water supply

Single Phase Block Filter, Protection Class II
• Protection class II without ground wire
• Filter with standard or high performance attenuation
• Excellent symmetrical attenuation
• Fully closed steel housing
Schurter expands the proven FMAB NEO single-phase filter family with new variants for protection class II applications. The new filter series without protective ground connection is available as a medical M5 version for a rated current range from 1 A to 20 A with plug-in terminals.
Protection class II, also known as protective insulation, means protection by double or reinforced insulation. All clearances and creepage distances must be doubled, and inside the filter double or reinforced insulation is mandatory. The new FMAB NEO filter series Protection Class II meets all these requirements: reinforced insulation inside the filter and the plug-in terminals have a large plastic collar. The filters are tested with 4 kVAC between L or N against the metal housing.
Applications
Protection class II applications do not have a protective ground wire. To ensure effective personal protection even without a protective ground conductor, protection class II devices feature additional insulation. Typical applications include power tools, audio and video equipment and many medical devices. Protection class II is even mandatory for a variety of medical applications. For example, medical devices for use at home must be of protection class II according to IEC 60601-1-11.
Approvals
The single-stage FMAB NEO filter family has a particularly compact design combined with high performance. It is suitable for applications in the temperature range from -40 °C to 100 °C and has ENEC and cURus approvals.
