Schurter introduces its new high-temperature power connectors according to IEC/UL 60320. The appliance inlet, series 1681, offers screw-on or snap-in mounting options. The cord connector is available in two different designs: a straight series (1658) or an angled series (1659).
“The high-temperature appliance inlets and cord connectors are designed according to IEC for 16 A at 250 VAC, and according to UL / CSA for 20 A at 250 VAC. Pin temperature may reach a maximum of 155°C. Furthermore, the appliance inlets and cord connectors meet the requirements of IEC 60335-1 for household appliances, which covers enhanced requirements of glow wire tests for unattended household appliances according to IEC 60695-2-12 and -13,” according to the company.
The cord connectors are ideal for use in industrial equipment and in applications that require high power, such as heating systems. The connectors can operate in environments with elevated temperatures. Both are ROHS and CHINA-ROHS compliant.
