SCHURTER’s Universal Modular fuse, UMT-H, offers a 1500A breaking capacity at rated voltages of 277VAC / 250VDC. The compact, high performance fuse now has VDE approval in addition to UL approval. This time-lag fuse provides overcurrent and short circuit protection in various industrial control applications, including intrinsically safe applications.

  Designed for single-phase systems, the FMAB NEO series of block filters has been released by SCHURTER. The devices combine a compact design with a high level of performance.

SCHURTER and Danielson have expanded their range of capacitive touch solutions to include a controller for projective-capacitive touchscreens, designed to satisfy industrial requirements. Together with EETI, this controller was developed to meet the increasing market demand for capacitive technology.

  A range of pulse resistant fuses and matching holders have been introduced by SCHURTER. The range is comprised of the UMF 250, UMT 250, UMZ 250, UMK 250, UMT-H. The matching fuse holders are glow wire resistant and suitable for reflow soldering.

Extending its range of high-temperature power inlets and outlets which meet IEC/UL 60320, SCHURTER has announced the 1681 series appliance inlets, as well as the 1658 and 1659 series straight and angled cord connectors. The devices are designed for use in equipment that operates in elevated ambient temperatures and/or with high currents, such as datacomms and portable industrial equipment such as heating systems.

The PSE HI piezo switches, manufactured by SCHURTER, are now available with raised symbols, letters and numbers in addition to various colours, or legend inscriptions. The switch surface is made of anodised aluminium, which can be pre-formed with variety of standard legends and/or raised symbols to indicate function. 

Providing increased stability during board assembly and fuse replacement, SCHURTER has announced that ts FPG7 shock-safe SMD fuseholder is now equipped with two stabilising posts. The company have claimed that this is the only shock-safe SMD fuseholder on the market for 5x20 mm cartridge fuses.

With the ESO 10.3x38, SCHURTER introduces a multifunctional fuse cover for use on printed circuit boards. The ESO 10.3x38 can be used simultaneously as an inserter, extractor and cover for fuses. Designed for use with SCHURTER’s CSO fuse clips, and the ASO 10.3x38 fuse, the combination provides touch-safe circuit protection up to 1500V DC.

Suitable for use in medical devices, IT and audio equipment used on stage, the KEA series power connector from Schurter has been enhanced so that it now mates with V-Lock cord sets. With 1- or 2-pole fuseholder, the compact power entry module's V-Lock compatible feature prevents unintended disconnection of the power from the equipment.

SCHURTER has announced two appliance inlets in splash-water proofed versions. The appliance inlet 6100-3 with a sealing kit has a protection degree of IP 54, both into the equipment and to the cord connector. The 5707 power entry module with line filter offers IP 65 protection into the equipment as a standard feature. With the optional sealing kit, the coupling to the cable connector is additionally protected to IP 54.

SCHURTER has today announced an expansion of its successful UMF 250 SMD fuse series with nine additional rated currents. With this extension, the series is now complete with rated currents ranging from 500 mA to 10 A. The compact, quick-acting SMD fuse thus provides overcurrent and short circuit protection for an even wider range of applications.

The SCHURTER Group had to accept a decline in its sales of 8.7% to CHF 173.8M. However, the company, which is strongly oriented towards export, could maintain the result after taxes despite decreasing sales. It amounted to CHF 7.5M (4.3%), the cash flow amounted to CHF 16.5M or compared to the industry sector a sound 9.5%.

SCHURTER expands on its standard range of V-Lock power cords to include two types designed to ensure patient safety in critical medical and dental applications. The plug end of the cordset is stamped with a green dot, indicating that it meets the rigours of UL 817 testing.

SCHURTER has expanded its range to include a fuse clip designed for heavy duty performance. The CSO clip, designed for 10.3 mm diameter fuses, is suitable for applications with voltages up to 1500 VAC/VDC and currents to 32A. These unique characteristics are SCHURTER’s response to the present need for increasing photovoltaic system voltages.

The well established product Transipillar is newly available on the SCHURTER website. Various combinations of studs, inserts, metric threads and lengths allow a very versatile use of these spacers.

SCHURTER presents its projected capacitive technology. With the new PCI (Projected Capacitive Input) touch-screen technology, SCHURTER is expanding its family of input systems with glass surfaces that cover the entire operating area on the front. The PCI touch panels function with high positioning accuracy, are easy to clean, resistant to scratches, abrasion as well as chemicals and find a wide variety of applications in industrial automation and...

The V-Lock system from SCHURTER prevents unintentional unplugging of power cords on equipment. A variety of power sockets, Power Entry Modules (PEMs) and numerous country-specific power cords can be supplied as part of this system, and now also in white. Also available are power cords with V-Lock that conform to the “American Hospital Grade”.

The metal switch MSM from SCHURTER is available with extended illumination colours. The range of colours for standard items consists of red, green, yellow, blue and white.

UP1 – 2-pole appliance switch with built-in undervoltage trip release prevents uncontrolled restarts under conditions of intense voltage drops or with temporary losses of voltage

This V-Lock system by SCHURTER is an attractive and simple solution to prevent an unintentional unplugging. Various different connectors, Power Entry Modules and several country-specific power cables are available with this option.
