29-11-2024 | Schurter | Power

The 4799 rewireable IEC connector from Schurter is the first of its kind: it combines a rewireable C19 connector with the proven V-Lock cord retention system.

Fast reaction time is an essential factor in opening a new market for a device. Rewireable connectors are especially flexible and particularly suitable for small series of mains cables to allow exactly this. These connectors provide the freedom to select the right cable with a country-specific plug.

With electrical appliances that are moved or vibrate during operation, there is a risk of the power cable being unintentionally pulled out of the appliance, resulting in a power failure. Therefore, cord retention systems such as the one on the new connector are a cost-effective solution to a potentially costly problem. Cord retention systems are typically needed for applications in the field of medical analysis, diagnostic or laboratory equipment, portable instruments, professional audio/video applications or equipment in the food industry.

The connector type 4799 does not use halogens for the bushing or any other plastic components. Approvals and certifications. The connector has all approvals for the European, Chinese and North American markets. It is certified in accordance with the IEC/UL/CCC 60320 standard.
