Protection against dirt particles and moisture is becoming increasingly important. With the product type 6080 and the associated V-Lock power cable, SCHURTER introduces an IP54 device connection that also meets very high requirements.
The new SCHURTER 6080 is an IEC 60320 and IEC 60529 compatible socket. In combination with the special power cord, an IP54 protection degree is achieved when connected. An IP54 connection offers excellent protection against dust particles and is splash-proof.
Special sealing elements
The blue colour of the V-Lock cable sleeve already indicates that something is different here. Both the device input and the power cord connection are equipped with special sealing elements to achieve higher IP protection.
V-Lock cord attachment
The new device plug connection also features the industry-proven V-Lock cord protection system. Mechanical safety clamps, which often have to be designed for specific types, are no longer necessary.
Areas of application
Wherever dirt, dust particles or splash water can occur, the new SCHURTER technology is the perfect choice. This can be the case in harsh working environments in industry. In the medical sector, a higher IP protection rating is mandatory. The reason for this is that medical equipment must be cleaned and disinfected regularly, and even sterilized if necessary. The food processing industry has similar requirements.
IP54 family in planning
The product type 6080 will soon be followed by other products. SCHURTER will equip a complete family of device connections with this innovative technology.
