Rittal DK 7979.020 Connector Lock - For C14/C20

Feature: DK 7979.020 is designed to lock IEC 60320 C14 and C20 connectors on PDU/PSM modules with C13/C19 slots, delivering a secure, press-locked interface that remains reliable in vibration and high-traffic installations. Business Impact: By maintaining a stable connection, it minimizes unplanned outages, reduces maintenance interruptions, and lowers the risk of data loss or equipment damage due to sudden power disconnects. Application: Ideal for data centers, industrial control panels, and manufacturing lines where cables are routinely connected and re-disconnected during service work, upgrades, or re-cabling projects. Feature: Adjustable, universal latch mechanism that robustly clamps around a range of standard connector forms, providing consistent engagement without the need for bespoke parts or tools. Business Impact: This universality reduces inventory footprint, speeds field installation, improves cross-brand compatibility across multi-vendor ecosystems, and lowers total cost of ownership. Application: Useful in PDU enclosures, cabinet corridors, and distributed power setups in hybrid IT/OT environments, including data centers, manufacturing floors, and process-control cabinets. Feature: PA12 plastic with RAL 9005 finish combines toughness with a clean, uniform appearance suitable for exposed installations and harsh environments. Business Impact: The durable material resists impact, wear, and chemical exposure common in industrial settings, extending service life, reducing replacement cycles, and improving overall uptime. Application: Mounts on power distribution units and panels where long-term aesthetic and functional durability matter, including data centers, assembly lines, and utility cabinets. Feature: Pack comprises 20 pieces with a total weight of 0.08 kg per pack, enabling straightforward inventory management, predictable warehousing, and efficient replenishment cycles. Business Impact: This packaging supports bulk procurement strategies, lowers per-unit shipping costs, reduces waste on overstock, and simplifies stock rotation in maintenance depots. Application: Well-suited for large deployments across multiple racks, cabinets, and PDU rows within data centers and factory environments where rapid re-cabling is required. Feature: Alignment with ETIM 9 EC000330 and ECLASS 8.0 27142604 classifications ensures accurate data modeling, supplier standardization, and seamless integration with digital catalogs. Business Impact: Improves ERP and purchasing workflows, reduces data-entry errors, and enhances vendor communication by using widely adopted product data standards. Application: Helps with cataloging, e-procurement, BOM creation, and maintenance planning for power management accessories in automated facilities.
