Green Line IEC Inlets and Outlets

With a circular economy envisioned, SCHURTER’s development of the Green Line includes maintaining CO₂-neutral raw material over the whole life cycle with end-of-life recyclability. The raw material selected for this series must not compete with food production and must have equal or better technical characteristics.

Plant-based raw materials have a CO₂-neutral footprint over the entire life cycle, significantly reducing CO₂ emissions. Accordingly, bio-based plastics contribute to CO₂ reduction of up to 68% compared to fossil plastics. In addition, bio-based plastics often have a lower density than fossil plastics, resulting in lower material consumption.

The SCHURTER Green Line collection of IEC 60320-1 appliance connectors contributes to fewer CO₂ emissions and lower material consumption. SCHURTER product series 6100-3, 6100-4, 6102-3, 6102-5, 6600-3, and 6600-4 IEC 60320-1 appliance connectors are already established on the market and now available with bio-based plastics. The bio-based collection of inlets and outlets are rated up to 10 A at 250 V_AC and 50 Hz according to IEC and CCC and up to 15 A at 250 V_AC and 60 Hz according to UL.

These are the first of SCHURTER's Green Line products, with other environmentally friendly materials, such as lead-free metal alloys, being sought. SCHURTER has set its standards high with its commitment to reduce its carbon footprint by 50% by 2035.
