New angled locking cable for any IEC C14 power connectors

24-05-2019 | Schaffner EMV AG | Connectors, Switches & EMECH

Schaffner has launched a new series of locking cables for any IEC C14 application. The new connector in the IL13 family is ideal for any space limited locking situations. Due to its angled build, the connector can be helpfully applied with devices standing next to a wall or in table-top applications.

The connector is offered in four different orientations to provide for any assembly position of the IEC inlet where it is attached (top, down, left and right). As well as the high variety of moulded cable-connector-combinations, a rewireable connector is also offered to enable the development of individual cabling solutions depending on customer requirements. The rewireable connector is offered in two versions (vertical and horizontal). All types are suitable for any standard IEC C14 inlet, locking with no additional mechanics. With the proven quality of the locking connection and the 200N typical pull out force, the new extension to the family assures a secure connection at all times. Even appliances that are exposed to vibrations can be joined in a safe way.

The cords and connectors have all the needed safety approvals (UL CSA, PSE, Kema Keur, PSE and SAA), are compatible with the RoHS II (2015/863) directive and offer LSZH (low smoke zero halogen).
