NEMA receptacles offer ease of assembly and more power performance

Schurter’s NR520, which is the NEMA standard 5-20R (20A at 125V) configuration, complements its existing range of outlets with the configuration NEMA 5-15R (15A at 125V). The NR series outlets are excellent for use in duplex or multiple power outlet distribution units employed in office furniture, power charging stations in dwellings such as hotels, airports, and aircraft, and in power panels in medical offices and hospitals. The higher load capacity of 20A for the new device is accompanied by an operating temperature rating of up to 150C, which makes the outlets particularly suitable for environments with increased thermal demands, such as those found in data applications.

The device combines the highest safety and performance standards with time-saving and user-friendly installation. Serrated snappers accept a range of 0.8-2mm panel thickness. Terminal options include IDC for L, N and PE, or combined IDC for L and N, and PE with a quick-connect tab for maximum power load to each inlet. The IDC terminals accept solid wires in sizes 14 or 12 AWG and are mounted with a terminal cover. This terminal style is particularly important for assembling PDUs or strips of multiples. Available in three colours: black, grey, and white, these options provide for contrasting and identifying different power areas in the power infrastructure.

The series outlets are built according to UL 498 and CSA C22.2 no. 42. Flammability rating is 94V-0.
