Schaffner adds to its power connector range

The IL13P-S is a C14/C20 IEC dual locking power connector that prevents accidental disconnection in data-centres, PDUs, servers, industrial equipment, medical devices, audio/broadcast and other critical power systems.

The C14/C20 IEC dual locking connector was designed to enhance Schaffner’s locking connector functionality with two locking mechanisms incorporated into one combined connector. This ensures compatibility with a wide range of standard non-locking C13 socket outlets including inlet filter types: IL 13, IL 13 P and IL 19. It will mate with any Schaffner IEC C14/C20 inlet filter and is a simple retrofit for any IEC C14/C20 inlet.

The connector incorporates the following features:

• The load side connector is a IEC LOCK C13+ SLIMLINE version. It is a slimmer, more compact IEC LOCK C13+ connector with two locking mechanisms.
• The line side connector is made from the field proven IEC lock C14 connector.
• Rated current up to 10A (C13 plug), up to 15A (C13P plug), and up to 20A (C19 plug)
• Maximum pin temperature +70°C
• Various power line plugs are available for international usage
• The cable safety certifications are valid for Europe, USA, Canada, and Australia making the assembly suitable for global applications.
• Available with cable lengths of: 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, 2, 2.5, and 3 m.
• Four cable colours may be specified - black, white, red and blue.

The locking system has a tensile force of typically 200N and it is recommended to use it with flange mount filters.
