Over 40 years of Excellence

E Preston has been a specialist distributor of electrical and electronic components since 1980, offering thousands of products to meet a wide variety of needs and applications.

But we do more than simply sell components – we have built a reputation as a company who does business the traditional and honest way. Paying attention to the simple things – like phoning people back when we say we will – has kept our customers coming back for over four decades.

Our staff are experts in their fields, we maintain appropriate stock levels, and all of our processes are fully computerised to ensure a smooth operation.

We also understand that business is carried out between people, not companies. We do the hard work to maintain relationships with our suppliers as well as our customers. That way everybody in every part of the supply chain is satisfied – from the manufacturer to the end customer.

distribution systems.

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.
