Power Entry Modules What this product does Integrates an AC mains inlet, switch, fuse holder, and optional EMI/RFI filter into a single panelmounted unit. Simplifies wiring and reduces the number of discrete parts needed to bring power into equipment. Provides a neat, serviceable interface for connecting and protecting mains power. Key benefits — why you need it Saves assembly time and space: one module replaces multiple components and standardizes the panel cutout. Improves safety and serviceability: builtin fuse and switch make troubleshooting and replacement faster and reduce exposure to live wiring. Controls interference and power quality: versions with EMI/RFI filtering help meet conducted emission targets and prevent equipment upset. Reduces sourcing complexity: a single part number can cover inlet, protection, and switching needs. Important attributes Function: combines mains inlet (IECstyle or equivalent), power switch, fuse holder, and optional filter in one compact unit. Compatibility: designed to mate with standard appliance power cords and panel cutouts; available in configurations for singlephase mains and common regional voltage connections. Size and mounting: compact, panelmount form factor with standard cutout dimensions to fit enclosures and instrument panels. Materials: durable, flameretardant housing and corrosionresistant contacts for reliable longterm electrical connection. Performance: available in versions that include current and voltage ratings appropriate for typical electronic equipment, plus optional EMI/RFI suppression for improved immunity and emissions performance. Service features: frontaccess fuse holder and accessible switch for safe, tool maintenance. Practical applications — how customers use it Laboratory and test equipment: provides a single, serviceable mains entry point with builtin fuse protection and optional EMI filtering to keep sensitive instruments stable and safe. Industrial control panels: standardizes power entry across machine enclosures, simplifying assembly and maintenance while providing robust switching and overcurrent protection. Consumer and professional electronics: integrates inlet, switch, and fuse into a compact footprint for AV equipment, power supplies, or rackmounted systems, enabling a clean front or rear panel layout. Installation and selection guidance Choose a module that matches the equipment's required current and voltage ratings and the intended mains configuration. Select options (fuse type, switch style, EMI filter) based on protection needs and regulatory or emissions targets. Verify panel cutout dimensions and mounting depth to ensure compatibility with the enclosure and internal components. Ensure accessible placement for the fuse holder and switch to permit safe, routine servicing. Why this solution stands out Reduces parts count and assembly errors by consolidating core power functions into a single, standardized component. Enhances reliability and maintainability through a design that supports frontpanel access to protection and controls. Offers flexibility with optional filtering and multiple configuration choices to match a wide range of equipment and installation requirements.
