Neutrik has unveiled its speakON XX-receptacle (two pole and four pole) series, the first in the Neutrik speakON chassis range to meet the IEC 62368-1 materials safety regulation.
The IEC 62368-1 compliant regulation requires materials used in potential ignition sources to have a V-O vertical burn classification.
Using certified receptacle components, using UL 94 V-O materials allows device certification to be claimed on the bases that all affected connectors are certified, streamlining R&D and adjusting manufacturing processes.
Several design modifications have been included in the speakON XX-receptacle series, including improved electrical performance due to copper alloy contacts and tarnish resistant plating, a black colour scheme and improved visibility product ID marking and logo visibility.
