SCHURTER DG11 and DG12 appliance inlets

SCHURTER has launched the DG11 and DG12 appliance inlets and an associated V-Lock power cable. The IP54-rated device connection is designed to meet high demands, and has been upgraded for an IEC 60320 and IEC 60529 compatible appliance inlet. In combination with the dedicated power cord, an IP54 protection rating is achieved when plugged in. An IP54 connection provides protection against dust particles and is splash-proof.

The appliance inlet as well as the connector of the power cord have been equipped with special sealing elements to achieve a higher IP protection. The new device plug connection also has the industry-proofed V-Lock cord retention system. Mechanical safety clips, which often must be designed for specific types, are no longer a necessity.

The appliance inlets are suitable for harsh working environments in a range of industries, including the medical and food processing sectors. Types 6080, DG11, DG12 are all available, with further products soon to follow. SCHURTER also plans to equip a complete family of device connections with this innovative technology.
