Power Entry Modules Why choose a power entry module Consolidates multiple functions (power inlet, switch, fuse holder, and EMI/RFI filtering options) into a single, spacesaving assembly. Reduces assembly time and parts count during manufacturing, lowering installation errors and simplifying service. Improves safety and reliability by centralizing earth/ground connections, fuse protection, and secure mechanical mounting. Key benefits Simplified integration: single component replaces separate inlet, switch, fuse holder and optional filter, making chassis design cleaner and faster to build. Space efficient: compact footprint and standard mounting cutouts help maximize internal space in enclosures and panels. Reliable electrical performance: robust contacts and secure terminations provide consistent power transfer and long service life. Safer maintenance: accessible fuse holders and clearly labeled controls reduce downtime and simplify field service. EMI/RFI mitigation (when included): built‑in filtering options help meet emissions and immunity requirements without extra modules. Important attributes Function: combines AC power entry functions—mains inlet, on/off switching, fuse protection, grounding, and optional EMI/RFI filtering—into one unit. Compatibility: designed to work with common power cord and plug form factors and standard enclosure cutouts; offers a range of termination styles for PCB, quickconnect, or wire‑to‑wire connections. Size and mounting: compact modules available with frontpanel snapin or screwflange mounting for secure chassis attachment. Materials and construction: durable insulating housings and plated conductive contacts for corrosion resistance and consistent electrical contact; fused holders designed for safe fuse replacement. Performance and safety: engineered for reliable switching and current handling appropriate to typical equipment power requirements; optional integrated filters support compliance with emissions and immunity standards; grounding provisions ensure safe earthing. Practical applications / use scenarios Industrial control panels: multiple discrete components with one module to simplify wiring, improve safety, and speed up panel assembly and servicing. Test and measurement instruments: Use a single, compact power entry module to provide a neat frontpanel power interface with easy fuse access and optional EMI filtering to protect sensitive circuitry. Commercial electronics and office equipment: Provide consumers with a durable mains connection point that integrates a switch and fuse holder for straightforward installation and field replacement. Installation and compatibility tips Verify the module's mounting cutout and termination style match your chassis and wiring layout before selection. Choose the required filtering and fuse options to meet your equipment's emissions and protection needs. Confirm grounding and polarity requirements during installation to ensure safety and regulatory compliance. What to expect from a quality power entry module Clear markings for line, neutral, and ground, plus accessible fuse access. Secure mechanical attachment and robust electrical terminations to withstand repeated connector cycles and vibration. Options for integrated filtering or blank configurations, allowing selection based on regulatory and design needs. This power entry module provides a practical, compact, and reliable way to centralize the mains entry point and essential protective functions for a wide range of electrical and electronic equipment.
