SCHURTER 6100-3 IEC C14 appliance inlet, 10 A / 250 V, screw mounting, class I

SCHURTER 6100-3 is a panel-mount IEC 60320 C14 appliance inlet for cold conditions (pin temperature 70 °C). It connects a mains cord with a mating C13 connector in industrial, medical, IT and household class I equipment. It is the best-selling item in the SCHURTER connector range.

The inlet is screw-mounted with M3 screws from the front or rear of a panel up to 8 mm thick; terminals are solder or 6.3 mm quick-connect. IEC rating 10 A / 250 V, UL/CSA rating 15 A / 250 V. Black thermoplastic housing UL 94 V-0, dielectric strength above 2 kV AC between L–N and L/N–PE (1 min, 50 Hz). Front protection IP40, IP54 with the sealing kit.

Versions 6100.3100, 6100.3200 and 6100.3300 differ in terminals and cord retainer (suffixes .32 / .33).
