What is a Connector?
A connector is an electromechanical device used to join two electrical parts together, generally this would be connecting a cable to a system or cable to another cable within an electrical circuit. There are many different types of connectors that can accomplish this. They can be used to connect power, data and fibre and can come in different shapes, sizes and materials.

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.
