Fused shuttered outlet type 4719

25 September 2002 Circuit & System Protection

Schurter's new type 4719 offers what is believed to be the world's first fused shuttered outlet. It is a highly compact module with the advantage of an integrated fuseholder and neon indicator to save space and production time on assembly.

The fuse outlet is already receiving great interest as an excellent solution for protecting the output from the power supplies and distribution units, as well as medical and industrial equipment. The advantage of this innovation is that if the equipment supplied by the outlet fails, the protection of the fuse means that this does not result in the loss of operation of the supply unit, and so it can continue to function and supply other outlets.

The fuseholder for 5 x 20 mm fuses is shockproof PC2 and is rated to IP55. The outlet features the additional protection of shutters over the live and neutral contacts, and it is available with or without indicating neon. The live solder terminal is offset to allow for parallel busbar connection of multiple outlets, and with a wide range of snap-in panel thickness sizes available it facilitates fast and easy fitting. The outlet requires a cut-out of only 37 x 33 mm, with a depth of 36,2 mm, saving space on the panel and inside the unit. The body of the 4719 inlet is made from UL94-V0 thermoplastic, with solder tab terminals, other options are available on request.
