Appliance Outlet 4763 IEC Type F / J

  • Combines 10 A and 16 A in a single component
  • High design flexibility for PDUs
  • Compatible with dimensions of existing Type J
    outlets, e.g. 4797-5

With the new 4763 Type F/J outlet, Schurter offers a flexible solution for modern power distribution systems, particularly in data centers. By combining Type F and Type J in a single outlet, the 4763 supports different current ratings while simplifying the design of intelligent PDUs.

A key advantage is its full mechanical compatibility with existing Type J outlets such as the Schurter
4797-5. Identical cut-out dimensions allow existing designs to be reused without modifications to front
panels or PCB layouts, reducing development effort and simplifying retrofits.

For maximum design flexibility, the outlet is available with optional light guides for status indication and
various configurations to accommodate different panel thicknesses. It supports PCB mounting, operates
reliably from –25 °C to +70 °C, and complies with relevant TÜV requirements.

Additionally, the 4763 supports established cord retention systems such as V-Lock, P-Lock, and TwyLock,
ensuring secure connections in critical applications.

This makes the new Schurter 4763 an ideal choice for data center, industrial, IT and
telecommunications applications where flexibility, reliability and easy integration are essential.

The Schurter three-terminal fuses STTP 9550 combine conventional overcurrent protection with an actively triggered overcharge protection function, providing an additional layer of safety for lithium-ion battery systems.

In addition to current-dependent interruption, the integrated trigger terminal enables controlled activation in critical operating conditions. This allows reliable disconnection of charge and discharge paths even in the event of protection IC or FET failure.

Gold-plated terminals ensure low and stable contact resistance, high signal integrity, and
excellent corrosion resistance. The compact package supports high-power-density battery pack
designs ranging from 1 to 24 cells.

Applications:
Typical applications include energy storage systems, power tools, UPS equipment, e-bikes, e
scooters, and automated guided vehicles (AGVs). Supported by UL approvals and designed for
redundant protection architectures required by modern battery safety standards, three-terminal
fuses provide a robust and intelligent protection solution for advanced energy systems.
