GC21/GH21/GI21 Series 400 VDC Connectors

After SCHURTER launched their 400 V_DC GP21 and GS21 connectors in accordance with IEC TS 62735, they introduced their GC21 and GH21/GI21 models on the device side. From the network to the device, the SCHURTER 400 V_DC family is a DC connector solution available worldwide in accordance with IEC TS.

The GI21 model is designed for pure DC operation, while the GH21 is a hybrid version and can therefore accept both AC and DC current. SCHURTER also offers the rewireable GC21 connector to match the appliance inlets. A cord retention system ensures safe operation in everyday use. All three of these products are made from a bio-based plastic (Green plastic).

With a pure DC supply, cost-intensive and failure-prone transformations and conversions, including their components, are completely eliminated. Operational reliability is increased with improved efficiency, and climate-friendly technologies that generate direct current are becoming established in energy generation.

Due to its properties, the standards for direct current (2.6 kW) require a more complex connector connection design, as DC arcs must be avoided when disconnecting the supply. Another highlight is the extended temperature range of the connector pins from -5°C to +105°C.

Under the designation SPC1, SCHURTER also offers suitable, customized DC power cables for all connection options.
