Who is Schurter and what does it make?
Schurter is a Swiss manufacturer of electronic components for circuit protection and the human-machine interface, active since 1933. The company makes fuses, appliance inlets and outlets, illuminated switches, connectors and touchscreens, used in industrial, medical and automotive equipment. From the Schurter range we can quote both individual components for equipment manufacturers and EMC filtering modules for electrical boards.
Schurter has a fuse range that goes from miniature SMD fuses, such as the chip fuse in the USL 0603 series, to fuses dedicated to electric vehicles, the ALO and ADO series. On the human-machine interface side, the company makes illuminated switches from the Metal Line MSM line and connectors made of plant-based plastic, the Green Line 6100 and 6600 series. The range also includes projected capacitive (PCAP) and resistive touchscreens, plus EMC filters and chokes from the DKIV series for reducing electromagnetic interference in electrical boards.
For electrical installations and control panels in Romania, Schurter components matter where certification and traceability are important — medical equipment, electric vehicle charging stations or industrial machinery that must meet strict electromagnetic compatibility standards.
What do we supply from the Schurter range?
| Product | Description |
|---|---|
| Fuses (USL, ALO, ADO series) | Miniature chip-type fuses, such as the USL 0603 series for SMD mounting on an electronic board, alongside fuses dedicated to electric vehicles in the ALO and ADO series. The choice of series depends on the rated current required and the mounting space available on the board or in the electrical board. Used for overcurrent protection of circuits in electronic and electrical equipment. |
| Metal Line MSM Illuminated Switches | Switches with integrated illumination from the Metal Line MSM line, with a metal housing for industrial control panels where mechanical strength and visibility of the switch state matter. They mount in the front panels of machines, with light signalling for the on/off state. |
| Green Line 6100/6600 Connectors | Connectors made of plant-based plastic, series 6100 and 6600, with electrical data given by the series chosen, confirmed per code from the Schurter datasheet. Useful for projects with explicit sustainability requirements in the supply chain. |
| PCAP and Resistive Touchscreens | Projected capacitive (PCAP) and resistive touchscreens, for industrial operator panels where the interface must work reliably in dust, humidity or when used with gloves. They integrate into industrial HMIs as an alternative to physical buttons. |
| DKIV Series EMC Filters | EMC filters and chokes from the DKIV series, fitted at the power input of equipment to reduce electromagnetic interference transmitted into the network. Relevant for equipment that must meet strict electromagnetic compatibility limits or that operates near interference-sensitive apparatus. |

How do we supply Schurter in Romania?
We work from the technical documentation of the Swiss manufacturer and check it before every quotation. We source Schurter components to order through EU supply channels, usually within 1–4 weeks after confirmation. For a correct quotation, send the exact code of the fuse or switch, and the rated voltage and current from the machine's electrical diagram. We do not promise permanent availability for the less common references in the range, and we confirm the actual availability at the supplier before replying to the customer.
Technical equivalences between Schurter series and components from other manufacturers are established from the customer's electrical diagram.
Frequently asked questions about Schurter
What is the difference between Schurter ALO and ADO fuses for electric vehicles?
ALO covers voltages of up to 1000 V direct current and currents of up to 900 A, and is designed for the high-capacity batteries of electric vehicles. ADO addresses a narrower range, between 15 and 63 A, with a maximum of 40 A at 1000 V direct current. The right choice depends on the rated current of the protected circuit and the mounting space available in the electrical board.
What is the Schurter Green Line connector?
Green Line is a family of Schurter connectors made from a plastic with plant-based content, designed to reduce the material footprint of industrial equipment. The 6100, 6102 and 6600 series differ in the number of poles and the mounting method, from three to five contacts.
Do you supply Schurter components in Romania?
Yes, we source Schurter fuses, switches and connectors to order, starting from the exact code indicated by the customer, without keeping this range on the shelf. To order, usually 1–4 weeks from order confirmation (Schurter). We recommend sending the full code from the packaging or from the electrical diagram to avoid confusion between close variants of the same family.
What should I send for a Green Line connector quotation?
It is useful to specify the number of poles required, the mounting type, panel or cable, and the cable cross-section used in the installation. If the existing equipment already has a Schurter connector fitted, a photo of the marking on the housing helps to quickly identify the correct variant from the 6100, 6102 or 6600 series. Mentioning the environment of use, indoor or outdoor, influences the choice of the degree of protection required.
How do I request a Schurter quotation?
Send the Schurter code from the nameplate and the quantity; we reply in English with availability and the lead time written in the quotation.
