SCHURTER’s 4783 Rewireable V-Lock Cord Retaining Connector


The SCHURTER series 4783 was recognized as runner-up in the Interconnect category of the Product of the Year 2020 competition, announced by Electronic Products Magazine in January of this year. The 4783 series is the first rewireable cord connector to combine a detachable IEC C13 connector with the V-Lock cord retaining system. The latching mechanism is designed to prevent the power cord from being unintentionally disconnected from the equipment.

The EP awarded products are recognized for a significant advancement in a technology or its application, an exceptionally innovative design, a substantial achievement in price/performance, improvements in design performance, and/or the potential for new product designs/opportunities. EP editors evaluated over 100 products across 10 electronic component categories. These are outstanding products that should be evaluated by designers for their technology advances and innovations. However, there were a significant number of outstanding runner-up’s that should be recognized as well.

Rewireable cord connectors provide cost savings to customers in instances where small builds or varying cable lengths and country specific plugs are needed. Approved for the European, Chinese and North American markets, the 4783 is certified according to the new UL 60320 standard. No halogens in the cable guard or any other plastic components are used. Applications include medical equipment, data centers, telecommunications equipment, pro-audio, and food processing equipment.
