Hello,

I would like to create several UDPs for Racklayout. Unfortunately I cannot find any 'german' CEE7/3 sockets. Just like 'IEC' or 'UK Mains' and 'USA Mains'. Something like 'CEE7/3 Main' is missing for me. Or can I find it anywhere else?

Thanks for your help!

Hi Felix,

You'll find what you need in the Panels library under Generic > Hardware > Connectors.  There's a German Schuko Connector under 'Miscellaneous' and EU Schuko Connectors (front and rear panel mount) under 'Schuko'.

If there's anything else that you require, please request it using the Product Request system.

I hope that's helpful.

Kind regards

Kevin Harrison.

Thanks Kevin!
I just found it and implemented it into my rack layout component.
the thing is that I always need to copy and insert the layout to a rack layout drawing. Every time I need a Schuko socket? Wouldn't it be easier to have it accessible directly from the rack layout library?

Hi Felix,

The Panel and Rack modules (and symbol libraries therein) have been designed to aid discrete drawing tasks.  The Panels module facilitates custom layouts of connectors on metalwork/panels with custom engraving.  The Rack module, on the other hand, facilitates the mounting of rack-mountable equipment into rack enclosures.  The workflow you describe is correct, creating your custom panel and then importing it into your Rack drawing is the recommended procedure.  One further step is required to then make a Rack UDP of your custom panel so that you can use it time and time again.

Further information on this topic can be found by watching the movie titled: #24 Rackmount Connection Panels that can be found on our Movies Page.

Kind regards
