What is a Circuit Protection device?

A circuit protection device is a fail-safe device that originates a disruption in an electrical circuit when it recognizes an excess and unsafe power load in a circuit. The main aims of circuit protection are to localise and isolate the situation or fault and avert and minimize any unnecessary power loss.

What Do We Supply?

We have broad selection of circuit protection devices, including:

Circuit breakers

Thermal circuit breakers

Thermal-magnetic circuit breakers

Magnetic circuit breakers

Hydraulic-magnetic circuit breakers

Fuses

LV fuse links

LV fusegear

Schurter 4763 Appliance Outlet IEC Type F / J

With the new 4763 Type F/J outlet, Schurter offers a flexible solution for modern power
distribution systems.

Appliance Outlet 4763 IEC Type F / J

Combines 10 A and 16 A in a single component
High design flexibility for PDUs
Compatible with dimensions of existing Type J
outlets, e.g. 4797-5

With the new 4763 Type F/J outlet, Schurter offers a flexible solution for modern power distribution systems, particularly in data centers. By combining Type F and Type J in a single outlet, the 4763 supports different current ratings while simplifying the design of intelligent PDUs.

A key advantage is its full mechanical compatibility with existing Type J outlets such as the Schurter
4797-5. Identical cut-out dimensions allow existing designs to be reused without modifications to front
panels or PCB layouts, reducing development effort and simplifying retrofits.

For maximum design flexibility, the outlet is available with optional light guides for status indication and
various configurations to accommodate different panel thicknesses. It supports PCB mounting, operates
reliably from –25 °C to +70 °C, and complies with relevant TÜV requirements.

Additionally, the 4763 supports established cord retention systems such as V-Lock, P-Lock, and TwyLock,
ensuring secure connections in critical applications.

This makes the new Schurter 4763 an ideal choice for data center, industrial, IT and
telecommunications applications where flexibility, reliability and easy integration are essential.
