V-Lock

Electrical equipment that can be moved while in operation faces a danger that the power cord can be unintentionally pulled out of the unit. The sudden loss of power can have serious consequences when it comes to equipment used in medical analysis, portable instruments, professional A/V applications or equipment in the foodstuffs industry.

Plug-retention safeguards can prevent this. Conventional plug-retention systems consist of safety brackets mounted on the power plug. Depending on the type of equipment and because of the many types and shapes of power sockets they have, it is important to select the correct bracket shape.

With the V-Lock system, SCHURTER offers a simple, attractive alternative. With V-Lock, the power connector is equipped with a pin that interlocks with a special notch in the inlet on the power cord and thus reliably prevents the cord from being pulled out unintentionally. The lock is released by pressing a finger on the disengaging lever. This lever is easily identified due to its bright yellow color, a feature that also distinguishes this scheme from conventional pluggable power supply systems.
