Power Entry Modules What this product does Provides a compact, combined interface for connecting mains power into equipment. Integrates one or more of the following functions in a single unit: AC inlet, power switch, fuse holder, and EMI/RFI filter. Simplifies chassis design by consolidating multiple powerrelated components into a single mounting footprint, reducing assembly time and potential wiring errors. Key benefits — why you need it Space and assembly savings: Combines several power functions in one module to PCB or chassis space and shorten build time. Safer, cleaner power: Builtin fuse protection and optional EMI/RFI filtering help protect equipment and reduce conducted noise without adding external parts. Consistent, reliable interface: Factoryintegrated components and a single mounting point reduce loose connections and improve longterm reliability. Streamlined compliance path: Using a purposebuilt module simplifies meeting EMC and safety layout requirements compared with ad hoc assemblies. Important attributes Function: Typical modules include an AC inlet, switch, fuse holder, and optional EMI/RFI filter; configurations vary by feature set to match application needs. Compatibility: Designed for flush or panel mounting into standard cutouts; compatible with common chassis thicknesses and industrystandard inlet shapes. Electrical connection methods include solder terminals, quickconnect tabs, or PCB pins depending on the model. Size and mounting: Available in compact, integrated packages to minimize panel real estate; mounting options include snapin and screwmount styles to suit production environments. Materials and construction: Housings use durable, flameretardant materials and robust contacts to withstand repeated mating and operating temperatures typical for mains interfaces. Performance: Engineered for dependable mains switching and protection. EMI/RFI filter options reduce conducted interference to help meet regulatory limits and improve overall system behavior. Practical applications Medical and laboratory equipment: Provide a tidy, serviceable power entry point with fuse protection and EMI filtering where reliability and low noise are important. Industrial controls and instrumentation: Simplify wiring and maintenance in control panels by consolidating inlet, switch, and protection into one durable module. Consumer and professional electronics: Improve assembly throughput and enclosure fit by replacing multiple discrete power components with a single integrated entry module. Why this module stands out Integrates common power interface elements into a single, tested unit to reduce design complexity and assembly errors. Offers flexible configurations to match different device requirements while keeping a consistent footprint and mounting approach. Focuses on practical benefits—space savings, protection, noise reduction, and installation reliability—without unnecessary complexity. Selection tips Match the module features (inlet type, switch rating, fuse size/type, filter presence) to your device's voltage, current and serviceability needs. Confirm mounting cutout and chassis thickness compatibility before ordering. Choose connection style (PCB pins, quickconnect, solder) that fits your manufacturing and service processes.
