Schaffner has introduced a series of filtered IEC mains input connectors designed not to compromise two MOPP (means of patient protection) safety precautions in medical equipment.
Called FN9274, they have been designed according to Class II medical equipment standard IEC / EN 60601-1.
The enclosure is plastic for higher dielectric strength insulation and C18 inlet receptacles do not have an earth pin – the input is also physically compatible with the company’s C17 V-Lock locking power cords to avoid accidental disconnection of power.
Three mounting configurations are available: front panel mount, rear panel mount and snap-in fit.
There are also two termination styles for each mounting configuration: fast-on connectors or wire leads.
They are rated to 4kVac, with creepage/clearance of 8mm/5mm and are double insulated.
Rating is 250Vac 50/60Hz up to 15A continuous.
According to the company, they fulfill the requirements for:
All versions are certified according UL/IEC 60939-3, C22.2 No. 8. CQC/CCC GB/T15287 and GB/T15288
Applications foreseen include general medical devices (MDD), in-vitro diagnostic medical devices (IVDD) and intensive care, as well as equipment for test, measurement, audio, video and communication
