Schurter GSP4: 16 A/20 A appliance inlet

The GSP4: 16 A/20 A appliance inlet is designed for print circuit board mounting. The inlet can be sandwiched between split enclosures and tested before it is installed in the equipment. Stabilising posts provide quick snap-in assembly to the PCB. A version with screw mount stabilisers is also available. The inlet offers a compact solution for IEC C20 inlets used in applications where power components are board-mounted.

Equipped with print circuit board terminals for L, N & E, and a 6.3 x 0.8 mm quick-connect or solder tab for additional ground to chassis, the inlet can be securely snapped in or screwed on to a print circuit board before soldering. This is achieved through stabilising posts, which also serve to absorb withdrawal and insertion force. Rear-mount styles are also available with or without mounting ears.

An optional back-side cover for the appliance inlet is available for protection against accidental contact. The inlet is compatible with V-Lock cordsets. The V-Lock retaining system provides a safe and secure power connection by preventing unintentional disconnection of the power cord from the inlet. The inlet can also be delivered in Protection Class II as an IEC C24 type socket. The inlets are suitable for use in power supplies, IT equipment, medical electrical equipment, lighting systems as well as test and measurement systems.
