Power Entry Modules What this product does Combines the device's AC inlet, switch, and protective elements into a single, panelmounted unit so you can connect mains power quickly and reliably. Integrates options such as IEC inlets, fuse holders, EMI/RFI filters, and illuminated switches to reduce wiring, simplify assembly, and centralize safety controls. Key benefits — why you need it Saves engineering time and reduces errors by replacing multiple discrete parts with one matched assembly. Improves safety and serviceability through a dedicated fuse holder and secure switch, making field replacement and maintenance faster and safer. Cuts electromagnetic interference and improves product performance when an EMI/RFI filter option is included. Streamlines compliance and testing by using standardized mechanical and electrical interfaces designed for common panel cutouts and cordsets. Important attributes Function: Provides mains AC entry, switching, fusing, and optional EMI filtering in one integrated module. Compatibility: Designed to accept standard IEC power cords and fit common panel cutouts; multiple configurations available to match device wiring and grounding schemes. Size and mounting: Compact, panelmounted form factor that minimizes chassis space; available in versions for snapin or screw mounting to match your enclosure needs. Materials: Housings commonly use flameretardant thermoplastics and metal shields where required, ensuring durability and electrical safety. Performance: Engineered for stable mains connections, secure contacts, and reliable switching. Optional EMI filters reduce conducted noise for improved system stability. How it solves common problems Reduces bill of materials and assembly time by integrating inlet, switch, and fuse into a single part. Lowers risk of incorrect wiring during assembly and service by providing factorymatched terminals and a consolidated footprint. Minimizes interferencerelated failures by adding EMI/RFI filtering at the point of entry. Simplifies regulatory and safety design by using standardized interfaces and options for protective components. Typical applications (practical scenarios) Industrial equipment: Install a power entry module in production machines and laboratory instruments to centralize power functions, speed assembly, and make fuse replacement quick on the floor. Consumer and office electronics: Use modules with IEC inlets and illuminated switches for desktop equipment, printers, and AV racks to provide a neat, serviceable power interface that accepts standard power cords. Medical and instrumentation designs: Integrate appropriately rated modules to consolidate mains inlet, switch, and protection while simplifying EMC management; select modules with the required electrical ratings and approvals for your application. Why choose an integrated power entry module Onepart solution reduces layout complexity and improves longterm reliability. Modular options let you match functionality to the product: choose basic inletonly versions, models with fused protection and switches, or units that include EMI suppression and indicator lighting. Standardized mechanical and electrical interfaces make it easier to design enclosures and source replacement parts. Ordering and selection tips Match the module configuration to the functions you need (inlet only, inlet plus fuse, inlet plus switch, or with EMI filter). Verify mechanical cutout and mounting method against your enclosure drawings prior to ordering. Confirm electrical ratings and safety approvals required for your market and end use when selecting a specific module. If you need assistance selecting the right configuration for your enclosure, performance, and safety requirements, choose the module options that align with your intended use and specified electrical ratings.
