In combination with the corresponding V-Lock cable, the assembly achieves IP54 protection when connected, offering a robust and reliable solution for critical applications.
SCHURTER 5180: Advanced Sealing Technology and High-Performance Filtering.
The SCHURTER 5180 is an IEC C14 or C18 connector with an integrated filter, developed in accordance with IEC 60320 and IEC 60529 standards. Its design incorporates multiple sealing gaskets that guarantee a complete seal against the device's interior, achieving an IP67 protection rating. This makes it an ideal choice for devices exposed to fine dust, humidity, or intensive cleaning processes.
The system is complemented by the new blue V-Lock cable, which incorporates specific sealing elements and a retention mechanism that prevents accidental disconnections. When both components are used together, the assembly achieves IP54 protection, ensuring protection against splashes and particles.
The 5180 is available in standard and high-performance versions. The high-performance versions incorporate nanocrystalline cores in the coils, which significantly improves attenuation and performance against electromagnetic interference. In addition, SCHURTER offers variants with X1 and Y1 capacitors, high-inductance versions, and models with a metal flange for front or rear mounting. The range includes options for medical applications, complying with IEC/UL 60601-1 (1 MOOP, 1 MOPP), and Class II versions suitable for environments with 2 MOPP requirements.
Protection and reliability in critical environments: applications of the SCHURTER 5180.
The new 5180 is designed for equipment that must operate in environments where dust, humidity, or intensive cleaning processes are common. Key applications include:
• Industry and automation: machinery exposed to particles, oils, or splashes.
• Medical sector: equipment requiring frequent cleaning, disinfection, or sterilization; applications with direct patient contact (2 MOPP).
• Food industry: devices subjected to regular washing and humid environments.
• Laboratory and measurement equipment: where the reliability of EMI filtering is critical.
• Mobile or outdoor applications: such as emergency vehicles or portable equipment.
The combination of advanced filtration, IP67 sealing, and compatibility with the V-Lock system makes the SCHURTER 5180 a versatile solution for any application requiring environmental protection and electrical stability.
