Schurter Green Line – Portfolio Doubled

Schurter Green Line

Schurter Green Line – Portfolio Doubled

  • IEC 60320 Connectors with Plant-Based Housings
  • Up to 52% Less CO2
  • No Loss of Quality At All

The first plant-based Schurter connectors were launched in July last year. Now Schurter is following suit and significantly expanding its portfolio of “Green Line” connectors. Because wherever you can reduce your CO2 footprint without compromising on quality, you really should do so.

As with the launch of the first series of Green Line products, Schurter remains true to its policy of offering a version with plant-based housings for products that are already established on the market. This approach offers customers of these products the great advantage that no redesigns or recertifications are
necessary when replacing the old connectors based on fossil raw materials. The Schurter Green Line is therefore a 1:1 replacement with all certifications.

New to the Green Line
The steadily expanding Schurter Green Line now includes the 4797 appliance outlet, the 4798 and 6080 appliance inlets and the 4782 rewireable connector.

Bio-Based Plastics
The environmentally friendly alternative to the fossil-based plastics commonly used today are plastics made from plant-based raw materials. Plant-based raw materials have a neutral CO2 footprint over their entire life cycle, which leads to a significant reduction in overall CO2 emissions. In addition, bio-based plastics often have a lower density than fossil-based plastics, which leads to lower material consumption.

Quality
In addition to CO₂ reduction, the bioplastic is also impressive in terms of safety and quality. It meets all technical and visual requirements. Products made from bioplastics impress with the same performance and service life as those made from fossil, crude oil-based plastic. Of course with all the international approvals needed.

Schurter 4799 Series IEC Connector C19 with V-Lock

December 17, 2024
Image

4799: IEC Connector C19 for Cable Mounting with V-Lock

  • IEC 60320 Connector, C19 IEC 16 A, UL 20 A
  • V-Lock Cord Retention
  • Ideal for Power Cable Production in Small Volumes or Maintenance Work
Schurter 4799 Pic

The 4799 rewireable IEC connector from Schurter is the first of its kind: it combines a rewireable C19 connector with the proven V-Lock cord retention system.

Fast reaction time is an important factor in opening a new market for a device. Rewirable connectors are particularly flexible and especially suitable for small series of mains cables to enable exactly this. These connectors give you the freedom to choose the right cable with a country-specific plug.

Applications for a Safe Connection (V-Lock)
With electrical appliances that are moved or vibrate during operation, there is a risk of the power cable being unintentionally pulled out of the appliance, resulting in a power failure. Therefore, cord retention systems such as the one on the 4799 are a cost-effective solution to a potentially expensive problem. Cord retention systems are typically required for applications in the field of medical analysis, diagnostic or laboratory equipment, portable instruments, professional audio/video applications or equipment in the food industry.

Halogen-Free Design
Type 4799 from Schurter does not use halogens for the bushing or any other plastic components.

Approvals and Certifications
The 4799 connector has all approvals for the European, Chinese and North American markets. It is certified in accordance with the IEC/UL/CCC 60320 standard.

Schurter 400VDC Connectors

September 9, 2024
Image

400 VDC Connector According to IEC TS

  • First connector system in accordance with IEC TS 62735 and IEC TS 63236
  • Rewirable connectors, appliance inlets and outlets
  • Hot plug-capable for disconnection under load up to 2.6 kW and up to 105°C operating temperature
  • Use of bio-based plastics on the appliance side
Schurter 400vdc Connector

After launching the first 400 VDC connectors (GP21 and GS21) in accordance with IEC TS 62735, Schurter is now adding models GC21 and GH21/GI21 on the device side - of course IECcompliant. From the network to the device: The Schurter 400 VDC family is the first DC connector solution available worldwide to be complete according to IEC TS.

With the GP21 and GS21 connectors, Schurter launched the world's first DC connector systems standardized according to IEC TS 62735-1 for efficient power distribution in data centers, for power distribution strips and UPS applications back in 2019.

The GH21 and GI21 appliance Inlets are brand new. The GI21 model is designed for pure DC operation, while the GH21 is a hybrid version and can therefore accept both AC and DC current. SCHURTER also offers the rewireable GC21 Connector to match the appliance Inlets. A cord retention system developed from scratch ensures safe operation in everyday use. All three new products are made from a bio-based plastic (Green Plastic).

The Advantages of DC
With a pure DC supply, cost-intensive and failure-prone transformations and conversions, including their components, are completely eliminated. Operational reliability increases with improved efficiency. And climate-friendly technologies that generate direct current are becoming established in energy generation.

IEC TS 62735-1 / IEC TS 63236
Due to its properties, the standards for direct current (2.6 kW) require a more complex connector connection design as DC arcs must be avoided when disconnecting the supply. Another highlight is the extended temperature range of the connector pins from -5 °C to +105 °C.

Matching Cables
Under the designation SPC1, Schurter now also offers suitable, customized DC power cables for all connection options on request.
