Interpower^® Launches IEC 60320 Rewirable Sheet E Plug Connector

January 15, 2024
Adding to its popular line of molded IEC 60320 appliance and interconnection couplers, Interpower announces the launch of its newly manufactured IEC 60320 rewirable Sheet E plug connector in a straight cable mount configuration initially offered in black. The Sheet E plug connector recently obtained Japanese PSE approval, joining other Interpower Sheet E plug connector safety agency approvals such as cULus, VDE, and CCC.

The Interpower part number for the new Sheet E is 83032000, replacing part 83011060. Sheet E compatible wire sizes in North America are 18, 16, and 14 AWG (SV/SJ types); in Europe and China, 0.75 mm² and 1.0 mm² (H05VV-F/RVV EU); also in Europe, 0.75 mm² and 1.0 mm² (H05RN-F EU); and in Japan 1.25 mm² (VCTF). The rewirable Sheet E plug connector carries a UL 94 V-0 flammability rating.
The connector plug material is Polybutylene terephthalate (PBT) with nickel-plated brass terminals, and is rated 10A (international), and 15A (North American) 250VAC. Loss of electrical continuity could occur to any plug in the industry if improperly disconnected at severe angles over time. One advantage of a rewirable plug is having access to “rewire” the conductors, which can be inspected or repaired by simply removing the four screws from the PBT housing.

• New Sheet E plug connector is rewirable and RoHS compliant
