Power Entry Modules What this product does Combines essential mains functions (inlet, switch, fuse holder, EMI/RFI filtering and/or pilot indicators) into a single, compact assembly to simplify wiring and panel layout. Provides a clean, serviceable interface between the mains supply and your equipment, reducing assembly time and potential wiring errors. Why you need it Reduces parts count and assembly labor by integrating multiple functions into one component. Improves reliability and safety by using factoryaligned connections and standardized mounting. Makes installation, maintenance, and troubleshooting faster because controls and protection are grouped and accessible. Key benefits Space saving: compact, panelfriendly designs up internal space for other components. Easier assembly: plugandplay mounting and builtin wiring points lower installation complexity. Serviceability: accessible fuse holders and switches allow quick field service without opening the full enclosure. Improved EMC management: modules with EMI/RFI filter options reduce emitted or conducted interference. Flexible compatibility: offered in a range of inlet types and mounting styles to match common equipment panels and power cord standards. Important attributes Function: combines power inlet, switching, and optional fuse or filter elements in one unit for controlled mains entry. Compatibility: available in multiple inlet styles, terminal types and panel cutout formats to fit standard equipment designs. Size: compact, panelmount form factors designed to minimize frontpanel footprint while providing robust rear connections. Material: durable housing and contact materials designed for repeated operation and thermal stability under normal load. Performance: engineered for consistent electrical contact, safe fuse replacement, and reliable switching; filterequipped variants reduce conducted noise. Typical applications Desktop and rackmount power supplies: tidy mains entry with integrated switch and protection for consumer and industrial power bricks. Control panels and small machinery: simplifies wiring and provides convenient frontpanel access to fuse and power control. Test equipment and lab instruments: quick maintenance and clean EMI performance where dependable mains entry is required. Selecting the right module Choose the inlet and terminal style that matches your cord and wire gauge needs. Select optional filter or fuse features based on EMI requirements and required protection level. Verify panel cutout dimensions to ensure a correct fit and consider models with safety agency approvals if required for your product. Power Entry Modules provide an efficient, serviceable, and compact way to bring mains power into equipment while consolidating switching, protection, and EMC functions into a single, manufacturable component.
