The Push/Pull locking system provides a strong reliable connection, yet at the same time ensures a break-away cable in the event of overdue stress. The blue shape and colour of the pull-out mechanism indicate the pull-out direction. A clear catch sound is heard upon the seated connection. The connector style is similar to the international standards of IEC and UL/CSA 60320, but is distinguished by a special arrangement of the contacts, so as not to interchange with conventional power cords. This ensures the maximum power applied, IP protection and the cord retention. The connector can be temporarily submerged in water and can be cleaned with high-pressure hot water cleaners. Both components are very easy to terminate. The inlets 4761 is available with solder or quick connect terminals. The easy wiring style connector requires no special tools for wire assembly.

The appliance couplers with gripped housing are available in black and white colours; the dual components, appliance inlet and cord connector can be ordered as complete sets or individual components. Accessory covers are available for both plug parts, providing a waterproof protection IP 67 in plugged state and IP 69K in an unplugged state. These protective covers also offer protection against pollutants, which can potentially contaminate the contacts.

The waterproof appliance coupler set is VDE and UL/CSA approved. It offers rated current from 10A to 15A at 250VAC according to IEC and UL/CSA standard. The maximum operating temperature is +120 degrees C. Quick connect terminal options for the inlets are 4.8x0.8mm, 6.3x0.8mm or solder. The cord connector can be assembled with cables from 6.0-10.0mm, maximum wire size acc. to IEC 1.0mm2, according to UL/CSA 14AWG (2.08mm2).

The approvals of these connectors according to IEC/UL 60320 simplify the process for the equipment manufacturer to obtain approval of their appliances, because many equipment standards with respect to the power supply refer to these component standards.
