Schurter 5707 and 6100 connectors with seal kits

Schurter now offers two connector types - 6100 and 5707 - in a version with a sealing kit which guarantees IP54 protection to the cord connectors. The Power Entry Module 5707 contains an IEC style C14 or C18 appliance inlet, one- or two-pole fuse holders and a standard or medical line filter.

Based on its existing IP65 rating, the unit protects against ingress of dust and jetting water at the panel opening, around the screws and fuse holders, as well as the connector pins and housing. The seal kit adds an IP54 rating between the inlet and cord connector, preventing dust or splashing water from entering between them when the equipment is plugged in.

The power entry module is suitable for medical equipment that must routinely be cleaned and disinfected. It is also suitable for other indoor or outdoor commercial applications like food and beverage machines.

The C14 inlet type 6100-3 is also available with a sealing kit for a protection degree of IP54 for both the device as well as the coupling to the cable connector. This is suited to equipment used in outdoor applications, for vehicle charging units and for vehicle diagnostics, as well as for ultrasonic cleaner or stirring equipment in the laboratories.

To ensure the tightness of IP54 with the sealed versions, the safety bracket included in the kit has to be applied to secure the cord set to the equipment.
