Intelligent Power Entry Modules
• First product of its kind on the market (DS11)
• Device communication via WiFi
• IEC 60320 Compliant
• Power entry module DS11 with, and standalone version DT31 without, serial interface

Schurter presents the new Smart Products. The internal Smart Connector DS11 - the first product of its kind in the world - and the external Smart Connector DT31 make it easy to transform conventional electronic devices into smart devices.

DS11
As an intelligent power entry module, the DS11 can be integrated into electronic devices and systems. The DS11 has a serial interface for communication with the host device and is IEC-60320 compliant. This allows plant and equipment manufacturers to offer their customers extensive additional functionality in no time at all - without the need for costly development and engineering.

DT31
The DT31 is an external plug-and-play and retrofit smart connector. It can be quickly connected to an existing device via an IEC60320 C14 connector without complex installation.

Smart Ecosystem
Schurter's new Smart Ecosystem is a cloud service to which the Smart Connectors are connected via WLAN. The DS11 as well as the DT31 can be controlled and their data recorded via the secure SCHURTER cloud. Basic cloud services are included free of charge, an upgrade is possible at any time.

Applications
The two new Smart Connectors impress with their versatile applications: Preventive maintenance and management of electronic device fleets, monitoring and visualizing processes, recording the energy consumption of devices and much more.

IEC C14 Appliance Inlet Filter
• Ultra compact IEC C14 inlet filter
• Optimal high frequency mains input filtering
• Fully closed steel housing
• V-Lock cord retaining

Schurter launches a new very compact filter series with the 5121 appliance inlet filter. An IEC C14 inlet is surrounded by a closed metal housing and thus effectively shields the mains input. The new filter series is available as a standard or medical technology version for a rated current up to 10 A / 15 A with wire connections.

The mains input is often a critical opening in the housing. Interference via the power cables and interference radiated through the opening gets into, or out of the housing. The new 5121 appliance inlet filter series offers a very compact solution to prevent interference.

Applications
The new filter family is especially suitable for applications with very small installation depths that require high-frequency filtering of the mains input at the same time. The 5121 appliance inlet filter reliably shields high-frequency interference conducted through cables or radiated thanks to a completely closed metal shield and capacitors. Interference in the lower frequency range can be reliably attenuated with additional capacitors and chokes on the PCB. Especially the interferences in the low frequency range < 10 MHz are mainly conducted through the cables, which means that the filter components do not necessarily have to be located at the mains input and can simply be placed on the printed circuit board. Schurter offers a wide range of current-compensated and linear chokes for this purpose. Typical applications are medical, laboratory, audio- and video equipment and industrial systems.

Multiple Mounting Versions
The new filter series is available in three mounting versions: Screw mounting from the front side with plastic flange, screw mounting from the front or rear side with metal flange and snap-in mounting from the front side. All variants guarantee optimal electrical contact of the mounting panel thanks to the wide metal flange. The closed filter housing acts as optimal shielding of the mains input.

Approvals
The 5121 series is certified for currents up to 10 A/250 VAC according to IEC and 15 A according to UL/CSA at 125/250 VAC. It has ENEC, CQC and cURus approvals.

Bulgin is widely recognised as a leading manufacturer of environmentally sealed connectors & components.

With over 100 years of experience in the industry, Bulgin continues to innovate & develop products & services to cater for its global customer base across a variety of markets.

Marine applications such as ship deck systems, marina facilities & boating equipment are constantly exposed to the harshest of conditions. With high corrosion & water ingress posing a constant threat to connectivity solutions, sealed & robust components are a must for applications in this market.

Originally designed for leisure yachts, our Buccaneer connector range is perfectly suited to meet the challenging requirements of marine applications both above & below water level.

Operating underwater requires the most rugged & reliable of connectivity components. Pressure, extreme temperatures & salt water all pose complex challenges for underwater marine applications. With more companies seeking to go deeper for longer in such hostile conditions due to production
& exploratory reasons, increasing the life cycles of submersible connectors & simplifying product maintenance processes is more important than ever before.

With a high risk of corrosion affecting the integrity of power, signal & data connections, sealed connector solutions are a must for high performance underwater marine equipment. Bulgin’s expertise in producing environmentally sealed connectors makes us one of the world’s interconnect leaders for marine application solutions where immersion is required in low & high pressure underwater environments.

Applications:
• Sealed Diving Cameras
• Diver Communication Equipment
• Depth Loggers
• Subsea ROV

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.
