Schurter OGN Adapter - Combined Fuse Cover / Extractor

Image

Plugging Aid and Protection Cover for all OGN Fuse Holders

  • Easy placing and replacing of 5x20 fuses
  • Approved as a cover in operation
  • Glow wire tested
  • 1:1 replacement of current plugging aid
Schurter Ogn Adaapter

For the Schurter OGN fuse holder, which is available in THT, SMT and THR technology, Schurter offers a variety of different covers in addition to a dedicated plugging aid. Schurter launches the OGN Adapter for easy mounting and removal of fuses and at the same time serves as a cover for the OGN fuse holders.

The currently available OGN plugging aid is a very useful tool for placing 5x20 fuses into all types of OGN fuse holder. It makes placing and replacing of fuses much easier, especially on densely packed PCBs.

It is often the case that the plugging aid remains in place together with the fuse, which means that the plugging aid also remains in the appliance during operation. However, this is not permitted for safety reasons. With a rated power consumption of 2.5W/10 A, the plugging aid is endangered to overheat. Schurter is now taking this into account with the launch of the new OGN Adapter. At 4W/16A, it is significantly more heat-resistant and has also been tested for glow-wire resistance. It can therefore remain in the device during operation with a clear conscience (VDE approval) and serve as a cover.

The new OGN Adapter can therefore replace two products at once: the cover and the plugging aid. The OGN Adapter is going to replace the existing OGN plugging aids. They are not recommended anymore for new designs and will fall out of the product range soon.

Debox V offers extra-value option, while maintaining time saving & easy installation - but is supplied without connectors, for electricians who prefer to use their own

Image

Debox V, a extra-value variant, to its popular and innovative Debox cable junction box series. Hylec’s Debox junction box range is well known among electrical installers for being supplied complete-for-use, making connections quicker and easier, saving them time and money. However, Hylec research has shown that many electricians routinely carry boxes of standard connectors, which they often prefer to use.

The Debox V offers the same time-saving features and ease-of-installation as other Debox junction boxes – but is supplied without connectors, providing an extra-value option for electricians who carry and prefer to use their own connectors. Debox V also provides a secure way to house ready-terminated connectors within a quick-to-install enclosure, using the electrician’s preferred lever connectors.
