DG11 – With Additional Magnetic Release
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.

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
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.

Energy Harvesting for Wireless Sensors
Modern automated production equipment relies on numerous cables for power and data transmission. But cabling takes up valuable space, reduces accessibility, and is sometimes the most failure-prone part of a machine. This is where compact and powerful prismatic supercapacitors come into play.
By enabling sensors to operate independently of a fixed power supply, supercapacitors help reduce wiring complexity. A small energy source—such as a solar cell or a kinematic energy harvester—generates low levels of power, which are insufficient for directly operating the sensor and its control IoT module. Instead, this energy is stored in the supercapacitor. When needed, the supercap releases high-power pulses, providing enough energy for the sensor to take a measurement and for the IoT module to transmit data via Wi-Fi.
Particularily Slim: FPAC Rail EMC Filters for Machine Control Units
Space is almost always at a premium in control cabinets for industrial applications. SCHURTER addresses this problem with a complete new filter design that is just 44 mm in width. The new, single-stage filter series is constructed with a printed circuit board in a plastic housing. It has screw terminals for the three phases and a terminal on the metal base plate for the earth connection.

High Performance Fuse for Automotive Applications
With the AMO 10.3x38, Schurter launches a high-performance fuse for particularly high voltages up to 800 VDC and currents up to 50 A, which is particularly suitable for automotive applications.
High voltages and high currents occur in electric vehicles in numerous places. Their battery packs with several thousand rechargeable cells store enormous amounts of energy. This in order to meet customer requirements concerning driving performance and range by still providing the shortest possible recharging times. To safeguard this level of power, you need highly reliable high power fuses. Such fuses are required, for example, in the BMS (Battery Management System), for on-board and off-board chargers, DC-DC converters and other systems exposed to high voltages.
Welding Is More Reliable
A weak point of every fuse is the connection between the melting wire and the contact cap. This connection is usually done by a solder joint. In the fuse production process, however, this technology brings quite many difficulties. Creating the connection by welding increases the reliability by far. SCHURTER uses a new, patented process which guarantees highest reliability.
Versatile Mounting Options
The new fuses of the AMO series offer a multitude of possible mounting options. In addition to the classic mounting directly on a printed circuit board, screwable version for surface mounting or even axial mounting are available.

Supercaps, also known as supercapacitors, are a special type of energy storage device that combine certain properties of rechargeable batteries with those of capacitors. They can store enormous amounts of energy this way and release it again very quickly, which makes them particularly valuable for many applications.
Compared to rechargeable batteries of the same weight, supercapacitors only have around 10 % of the energy density. However, their power density is around ten to a hundred times greater. Supercapacitors can therefore be charged and discharged much faster. They also withstand many more charging cycles than rechargeable batteries and are therefore suitable as a replacement or supplement wherever high switching loads are required.
Power Density vs Energy Density
The power density describes how quickly an energy storage device can release or store energy. It is crucial for applications that require short-term high energy outputs, such as when starting an engine. Supercapacitors are characterized by a high power density, which is why they can provide energy very quickly. The energy density indicates how much energy a storage device can hold over a longer period of time. A high energy density is essential for applications that require a continuous energy supply.
World's Thinnest Supercapacitors
The prismatic supercapacitors from Schurter are super-thin. With a thickness of just 0.4 mm, the Schurter SCPA is currently the world's thinnest supercapacitor.
Applications
The new supercapacitors from Schurter are ideal for demanding applications that require high capacitance in the most compact dimensions. For example, in mobile devices, wearable electronics, sensor technology, small power supplies or devices with mobile energy generation and uninterruptible power supplies.
