New Schurter White Paper Highlights Critical Considerations for Power Entry Modules

As the demand for safe and efficient power solutions for equipment grows, Schurter is committed to addressing the impact of power loss as it relates to Power Entry Modules (PEMs). To emphasize the necessity of carefully addressing power dissipation and temperature deratings for all PEM related components to ensure long-term safe operation, the Swiss technology specialist released a useful new white paper.

Schurter continues to meet today’s increasing demand for smaller electronic equipment with the launch of its 5121 filtered appliance power inlet connector system. The new, compact filter series features an IEC C14 inlet with capacitors and a fully enclosed steel housing that reliably shields high-frequency interference conducted through cables or radiated interference.

Schurter introduced a new waterproof IEC connector consisting of the appliance inlet type 4761 and the rewireable cord connector type 4762. With its high protection class IP67 or IP69K connected or unconnected with cover, this appliance coupler is perfect for supplying power to appliances used in harsh environments such as industrial, marine, laboratories or any type of outdoor appliances.

Schurter’s 6610 series appliance outlet according to IEC 60320-2-2, Style F, is now available with an integrated light pipe. The fiberglass light pipe indicates operational status, or other function status, as an optional feature to standard connectors. It is designed to channel light from LEDs on the printed-circuit board to the front of the connector. The new technology offers flexible design options including the number of light pipes, 1-4, as well as options for light pipe lengths and diameters.
