DG11 and DG12 have been upgraded for an IEC 60320 and IEC 60529 compatible appliance inlet. In combination with the dedicated power cord, an IP54 protection rating is achieved when plugged in. An IP54 connection provides excellent protection against dust particles and is splash-proof.
The blue color of the V-Lock cable socket already indicates that something is different here. The appliance inlet as well as the connector of the power cord have been equipped with special sealing elements to achieve a higher IP-Protection.
The new device plug connection also has the industry proofed V-Lock cord retention system. Mechanical safety clips, which often must be designed for specific types, are no longer a necessity.
