The Schurter NR520R mains socket outlet, as an additional variant to the NR010, NR020 and NR021 models, represents an even more powerful performance to the NEMA mains socket outlet portfolio. The new NR520R complies with UL 498 and CSA C22.2 no. 42.
The higher load capacity of 20 A at 125 VAC makes the NR520R particularly suitable for demanding applications where both high performance and temperature resistance up to 150°C are required. The NR520R mains sockets are ideal for applications in data centers, telecommunications, power distribution and energy management.
The new NR520R power sockets from SCHURTER are designed for particularly efficient snap-in installation and can be wired particularly quickly and easily thanks to IDC and Quick Connect terminals. With these features, the NR520R combines the highest safety and performance standards with time-saving and user-friendly installation. This is particularly interesting for manufacturers of power distribution products. After all: safe, effective and efficient.
The NR520R from Schurter is available in three different colors: black, grey and white. These color options not only offer aesthetic advantages, but also enable targeted adaptation to different environments and areas of application.

Relays used for railway rolling stock are subject
to increasingly higher technical demands – such
as the need for wider operating ranges; higher
resistance to shock and vibration; operation over
a wider range of temperature and humidity; and
above all, the fire resistance properties of the
relay’s constituent parts.
The resistance against random vibrations and shock of the relays and their sockets and accessories is in compliance with the prescription of EN 61373 standard for Category 1, Class B products.
Their resistance to temperature and humidity is in compliance with the prescription of EN 50155 standard, TX class (for relay and sockets) or T1 class (for timers and control relays).
The relays and their sockets and accessories are manufactured using specific insulating materials, which satisfy the requirement R26 of fire protection prescribed by the standard EN 45545-2 +A1:2016 for product category EL10.
The requirement R26, for Hazardous levels HL1 to HL3, is the conformity to V0 class following vertical small flame test according to EN 60695-11-10.
