New Products Apr 14, 2015 by Jeff Shepard

Schurter, Inc. will feature the new 4710 and 6610 series appliance outlets during Data Center World 2015, April 21-22 at the Mirage Resort in Las Vegas. Both product families utilize IDC technology, allowing wires to be bussed across the terminals, thereby connecting common terminals all at once. Additionally, Schurter will display their most popular outlet series with an optional integrated light pipe.

Designed to channel light from LEDs on the pc board to the front of the connector, the light pipe provides operational or other functional status indication in power distribution units (PDUs). The flexible design options allow for efficient customer-specific solutions, while enabling increased opportunity to display status information from the power grid to the user.

The outlet series include IEC 60320-1, style F, rated UL/CSA 15A at 250 Vac and IEC rated 10A at 250 Vac and, style J, rated UL/CSA 20A at 250 Vac and IEC 16A at 250 Vac. Schurter's innovative appliance outlets provide simple, user-friendly solutions utilizing intelligent power capabilities within power distribution today.
