The SCHURTER 6102-5 is a snap-in IEC C18 appliance inlet rated up to 10 A at 250 VAC, designed for Class II equipment with solder or quick-connect terminals and optional IP54 sealing.6600-3 IEC Appliance Outlet F
The SCHURTER 6600‑3 is a panel‑mount IEC appliance outlet F rated up to 10 A at 250 VAC, featuring screw‑on front mounting, solder or quick‑connect terminals, and approvals for global appliance and industrial designs.
GS21, GP21, GC21, GI21, GH21 Connectors according to IEC TS
After launching the first 400 VDC connectors (GP21 and GS21) in accordance with IEC TS 62735, SCHURTER is now adding models GC21 and GH21/GI21 on the device side - of course IEC-compliant.A new eco-friendly range of electronic components
"Green Line" is a collection of SCHURTER quality products based on plant-based plastics. The Green Line is part of SCHURTER's sustainability strategy. SCHURTER's mission is to deliver high-quality products with significantly lower CO₂ emissions. Specifically, the goal is to reduce the CO₂ footprint of the portfolio by 50% by 2035. This will be achieved, among other things, with more sustainably produced products. A commissioned study by myclimate showed that the starting material causes the highest CO₂ emissions in the product cycle. SCHURTER is tackling this challenge with the new Green Line.
CO₂ reduction by up to 68%
The device connectors of the SCHURTER Green Line are made of environmentally friendly bio-based plastic, which is produced from plant-based raw materials. SCHURTER has tested different variants in the laboratory, and the recyclable biological plastic made from castor beans has fully met the requirement for the material. The castor bean plant is convincing because no fertilization or artificial irrigation is required and the miracle plant - as the castor bean plant is also called - also grows in dry areas. Therefore, it does not compete with agriculture and does not require additional agricultural land like other biogenic plastics made from corn or sugar cane.
Bio-based plastic leads to a CO₂ reduction of up to 68% compared with the fossil plastic used previously.
This is due to the sustainable extraction and production of the plastic, which is less energy-intensive.
The plant-based plastic from castor beans is not biodegradable, but nevertheless its disposal is clearly more sustainable compared to fossil plastic. The castor bean plant absorbs CO₂ from the atmosphere during cultivation and binds it. In addition, the bioplastic can be recycled and reused.
Our bio-based appliance connectors of the Green Line are more sustainable
In addition to CO₂ reduction, the bioplastic is also impressive in terms of safety and quality. It meets all technical and visual requirements. Products made from bioplastics offer the same impressive performance and service life as those made from fossil, crude-oil-based plastics.
We guarantee our customers the same safety standards as we have been doing for 90 years. As a pioneer in the electrical engineering industry, SCHURTER offers device connectors made of bio-based plastic. Join SCHURTER in creating a sustainable and safe future.
