Schurter expands on its standard range of V-Lock power cords to include two types designed to ensure patient safety in critical medical and dental applications. The plug end of the cordset is stamped with a green dot, indicating that it meets the rigors of UL 817 testing. The solid pin construction and extra-safe wiring are visible through the plug’s transparent material.

The V-Lock system is an already proven design for safe and reliable power connections, protecting against accidental disconnection of the power cord from the equipment. The cord connector has a lever that latches into a notched power inlet. It is removed from the inlet when the lever is depressed and the catch mechanism released. The make-first and break-last design of the ground contact is inherent to itssafe design.

The detachable hospital grade power cords are offered with EN/IEC 60320 C13 and C19, 13 A and 15 A respectively, cord connectors on the equipment end, and NEMA 5-15 on the plug end. The power cord cable is white and measures 10 feet, or 3 meters, in length. The new power cords are compatible with a host of SCHURTER C14 and C20 style appliance couplers and power entry modules, including the most popular types used in medical applications.

US Power supply cord Hospital Grade white with C13 connector, 13 A: 6051.2121
US Power supply cord Hospital Grade white with C19 connector, 15 A: 6051.2131

Analysis and laboratory equipment, telecom and IT equipment, industrial robots, power outlet strips and equipment for audio and stage lighting are other typical applications where a pull-out protection with VLock IEC appliance couplers is suitable.

Schurter is expanding its successful DKFS family of SMD chokes with a new horizontal version. With it, the use of very highperformance, compact chokes is possible in low-profile assemblies.

Modern electronic circuits require components with the highest performance in ever smaller profiles. The new horizontal DKFS chokes are ideally suited for this purpose. Compared to vertical models, they have higher inductance with the same rated current. Thanks to SMD leads, they can be assembled using the same reflow soldering process as other components. Possible application areas for these chokes include switch-mode power supplies, dc and stepping motor drives and frequency converters.

The rated voltage for DKFS devices is 250 VAC. These common-mode chokes are designed for temperatures of -40°C to +125°C. They will also continue to be available in vertical models as well as in the new horizontal design. The DKFS series meets the requirements of IEC/EN60938 and is UL1283 approved.

Schurter's latest 5123 series filtered inlet adds filter performance to the already successful standard version 5120 series. The higher attenuation in the same compact dimensions is designed to meet the continually increasing demands for interference suppression of IT, medical, test & measurement and industrial equipment.

The new 5123 series filter combines an IEC power inlet and a line filter, designed for nominal currents up to 15A. The combination power entry unit integrates the EMC filter directly at the line input, providing an optimal effect on electromagnetic compatibility. The broad metal flange features a large amount of contact area, which further optimizes filtering and shielding effects. The filter’s increased inductance achieves a 6 dB improvement in asymmetric attenuation, compared to 5120 series and other like products on the market, corresponding to a doubling of its attenuation characteristics. Thus, the high filter performance makes the 5123 series well suited for applications such as switched-mode power supplies, where the utmost interference suppression is required.

The 5123 series is available for snap-in, screw-in or studded assembly. Screw-in assembly from the back side is particularly attractive for a plastic chassis with interior metal layers. Wiring is done with quick-connect, solder, stranded-wire or pc-board terminals. The PC version features snap-in feet for secure pc-board mounting. The stranded-wire version enables customer specific fitting for further costeffective wiring.

The 5120 and enhanced 5123 are designed for operating current levels up to 10A at 250 VAC according to IEC and 15A at 125/250 VAC according to UL. They are ENEC and cURus approved. The two series are offered in standard and medical versions suitable for use in IT applications according to IEC 60950, and medical applications according to IEC 60601-1.

- Very high attenuation
- Nominal current: up to 10A at 250 VAC (ENEC/UL/CSA) and 15A at 125/250 VAC (UL/CSA)
- Screw-in or studded assembly / snap-in assembly
- Connections: quick-connect, solder, stranded-wire or pc-board terminals
- Filters available in standard and medical versions
- Optionally available with the V-Lock cable locking system

Schurter's IEC inlet with EMI filter, series 5123, is well suited for switched-mode power supplies, which require high interference suppression. Examples include units in the IT, medical and the test & measurement sectors.
