The appliance couplers’ contours are coded (type, symbol) so as to allow a ‘hot condition’ connector to fit into a ‘cold condition’ appliance inlet, but not vice versa. Important note: The appliance inlet nominal current rating must be at least identical to that of the appliance!

The difference between these two values is a pure matter of definition. In order to avoid any unnecessary complications we will continue to use the specifications nominal value. CE marking acc. to EU-directives CE marking is the only marking which indicates that a product conforms to the relevant EU-directive. Gendre Female Comments on definitions used The product standard only contains minimum requirements. Attention is drawn to the fact that appliance specifications might contain requirements additional to or deviating from those specified in the relevant product standards.

SCHURTER products are covered by the low voltage directives 2006/95/EEC. Those are valid for equipment and appliances with rated voltage values between AC 50 V to AC 1000 V as well as DC 75 V to DC 1500 V. The CE marking of SCHURTER parts will be found on the label of the smallest packing unit. On request we will submitt a CE conformity statement for each component.

General Product Information Mounting appliance couplers Different applications require different approaches to the optimal mounting of appliance inlets and outlets, taking into account both minimal dimensions and customer-specific assembly methods, e.g. the module design possibilities that allow electrical testing even before mounting. Universal snap locks do not require a specific panel thickness. They fit perfectly when mounted onto boards with any thickness within the range specified in the relevant data sheet.

General Product Information Quick connect, push-on or blade terminals feature metal blades with standardized dimensions. They are also referred to as faston terminals, typically measuring 4.8 x 0.,8 mm, 6.3 x 0.,8 mm. The terminal dimensions are specified in the relevant data sheet. Correspondingly, the connecting stranded wires must be fitted with flat pin bushings of identical dimensions. IDC terminals Terminals The appliance couplers’ terminals refer to the contacts on the appliance’s interior, designed according to the customers’ individual needs. We distinguish between the following types:...
