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 4792: Outlet 16A for Flexible Wiring

4792 – Outlet 16A for Flexible Wiring

Mechanically Robust Design
Available in Three Colors: Black, White, Grey
90° Rotated Terminals

When space is limited and wiring must be efficient, every detail counts. The new Schurter 4792 outlet type J offers an intelligent solution: horizontally aligned connections, rotated 90° compared to standard designs. This variant facilitates wiring in power distribution units (PDUs).

The 4792 outlet combines space-saving design with easy installation. The snap-in mounting system for wall thicknesses from 0.8 to 3.0 mm (standard: 1.2 and 1.5 mm; variants on request) enables quick and secure installation.

Available in black, white, or gray, the 4792 outlet offers greater design freedom for a variety of applications. With several connection options (standard: QC 6.3 mm; QC 4.8 mm, solder or PCB connections available on request), it offers various wiring possibilities. Certified according to VDE, UL, and CCC, the 16 A outlet guarantees worldwide conformity and safety.

The new 4792 outlet with a rated current of 16 A is suitable for use as a component in power distribution units (PDUs), which are used in particular in data centers, but also for other applications such as industry, IoT, and IT/telecommunications.
