Schaffner adds to its power connector range
Schaffner, specialists in the fields of electromagnetic compatibility and power quality, announces the availability of the latest addition to its range of IEC power connectors.
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.
