Power Entry Modules A compact, integrated way to bring mains power into equipment while simplifying assembly, improving safety, and reducing parts count. Key benefits Simplifies design and assembly: Combines the power inlet, switch, fuse holder, and optional EMI/RFI filter or appliance connector into a single module so you install one component instead of multiple discrete parts. Improves safety and reliability: Factory‑matched contacts and housings reduce wiring errors and provide consistent electrical isolation, secure strain relief, and reliable switching under load. Saves space and cost: A single footprint replaces several components, lowers panel cutout complexity, and reduces labor time for wiring and inspection. Eases compliance and serviceability: Standardized mounting and accessible fuse/switch locations speed field service and maintenance. What it does (function) Provides a protected, serviceable point to connect AC mains to your equipment. Integrates switching and overcurrent protection and can include EMI/RFI suppression to reduce conducted interference. Offers panel‑mount or PCB‑mount options to suit different enclosure and assembly needs. Key attributes Compatibility: Designed to mate with standard power cords and common panel cutouts; compatible with typical enclosure thicknesses and mounting methods. Size and mounting: Compact footprints available for space‑constrained designs; versions for panel cutout or PCB mounting simplify integration. Materials and durability: Rugged housings and plated contacts for long service life and stable electrical performance. Performance: Engineered for reliable switching and current carrying; optional filters improve conducted emissions performance and help meet EMC requirements. Typical applications Industrial control panels: multiple discrete components to reduce assembly time and create a tidy, serviceable mains entry point. Test and measurement equipment: Provide a dependable, single‑point power inlet with accessible fuse and switch for safe bench use. Commercial appliances and instruments: Integrate protection and EMI suppression to meet regulatory and user expectations while saving enclosure space. Choose a power entry module to streamline assembly, enhance safety, and make maintenance easier without compromising performance.
