Appliance Outlet with Light Pipes for Status Display

Published on : Tuesday 30-11--0001

Today, the high density of servers in modern data centres requires the same compact design from a power distribution unit. With SCHURTER's appliance outlets, the integrated light pipes provide space and assembly cost savings over conventional strip designs, where LEDs are mounted in between outlets. Service technicians are able to clearly see which systems are working properly, or respond to required maintenance adjustments. The triggering of the LEDs is freely configurable, wherein each state can be clearly and independently represented. An outlet could, for example, signal an outage with a red LED, or a critical power consumption pattern with a yellow LED.

Optionally the SCHURTER 6600-5 is also available with only one or without light pipe. The new 6600-5 series offers a pull-out safety device to prevent against unintentional removal of the power cord. Depending on the arrangement of the outlets in the strip – horizontally or vertically – the SCHURTER V-Lock or cord retention systems with side latches can be used.

The outlet's snap arms are currently designed for front panel dimensions of 1.7 or 2.0 mm. Versions for 1.0, 1.5 and 2.5 mm are in development, as well as a 16 A outlet with up to 4 light pipes.

Technical features: Ratings IEC 10 A / 250 VAC; 50 Hz; Ratings UL/CSA 15 A / 250 VAC; 60 Hz; With one, two or without integrated light pipes for status display; Compatible for V-Lock cord retention and other systems with side latches; Operation temperature -25°C to 70°C; and Snap-in mounting and PCB terminals.

Application: Schurter 6600-5 is an ideal outlet for smart power distribution units (PDUs) and offers cord retention for V-Lock cordsets and other side latch mechanisms. These snap-in panel mount outlets offer one, two, or no light pipes.
