Multiple termination options support flexible assembly methods

April 1, 2026 By Aimee Kalnoskas Leave a Comment

SCHURTER has introduced the 4792 outlet, a Type J connector variant designed to address wiring constraints in space-limited assemblies. The outlet reorients its electrical connections by 90° relative to conventional layouts, positioning terminals horizontally to support improved cable routing and packing density in power distribution units (PDUs).

The design targets applications where vertical clearance is limited or where cable management affects assembly efficiency. By shifting the terminal orientation, the outlet can reduce cable bending stress and enable more direct routing paths within enclosures.

The 4792 outlet uses a snap-in mounting mechanism compatible with panel thicknesses from 0.8 mm to 3.0 mm, with standard configurations at 1.2 mm and 1.5 mm. This approach allows tool-free installation and consistent retention in sheet metal or similar panel materials.

Multiple termination options are supported, including 6.3 mm quick-connect terminals as standard, with 4.8 mm quick-connect, solder, and PCB terminations available. This range enables compatibility with different assembly processes and electrical interface requirements.

The outlet is rated for 16 A operation and is certified to VDE, UL, and CCC standards, supporting use in systems requiring compliance across multiple regions.

Typical applications include integration into PDUs used in data centers, as well as equipment in industrial, IoT, and IT/telecommunications environments where space constraints and wiring layout are key design considerations.
