The Schaffner Group has extended its product portfolio of IEC (international electrotechnical commission) inlet filters to include the power cord range IL13 with integrated locking system.
According to the company, using an easy-to-operate locking button, the IEC lock snaps into the IEC mains socket and can be unlocked by employing slight pressure to the operating button. This is claimed to eliminate the effort to mount retaining clips to avoid accidental disconnection of the power cord.
The reliability of electronic devices that are exposed to vibration like in mobile applications can thus be increased, says the company. The power cord is also suitable for use with all equipment requiring secure mains connections, such as in the fields of IT, medical, laboratory or communications technology. The power cord with the patented lock system does not require any modifications to existing sockets, claims the company. It can be used with the company's inlet filter or IEC C14 inlet according to IEC 60320 up to 10A.
The cord is supplied in black with a length of 2m as standard. The red marking of the locking button sets the power cord unmistakably apart from conventional power cords, according to the company. On the line side the cord can be available with different plugs for international use. The power cord complies with RoHS and REACH requirements.
