Inexpensive 2.5A Appliance Inlet in Various Versions

July 06, 2017 by Paul Shepard

The appliance inlet series of the type 2570 by Schurter provides various mounting variants and terminal options. Because of its cost effective design and the wide range of approval certificates for Europe, America and Asia, the C8 inlet is best suited for both industrial and consumer applications.

The appliance connector for snap-in mounting is available with solder-, quick connect- or PCB-terminals. The PCB-terminals in combination with the sandwich mount are specially for the application on printed circuit boards. This way the board can be fully equipped and tested before being mounted. The mounting is done by introducing the connector into the back wall, and placing the appliance housing into the groove on the inlet.

Thanks to the use of rolled contact pins, the variants with solder or PCB terminals are very inexpensive and therefore suitable for consumer goods. Nevertheless do they comply with all the security requirements and are approved by all the relevant international standards.
