Power Entry Modules Function: Provides a safe and compliant entrance for mains power with options for fuse holders, switches, and EMI/RFI filters. Designed for convenient panel or chassis installation in a variety of equipment enclosures. Compatibility: Available in multiple configurations to fit standard IEC inlet cutouts and common mounting schemes such as panel or DIN rail based on model. Size and material: Footprints and enclosure sizes vary by model; materials include metal or grade plastics depending on the specific product. Performance: Built for reliable operation with durable contacts and connectors, meeting applicable safety and quality standards. Rectifiers Function: Convert AC input to DC output to power DC loads, with configurations that support unregulated or regulated outputs and built in protection where offered by the model. Compatibility: Designed to work with standard AC supplies and to complement common power entry modules in the same system; suitable for integration into control panels and equipment racks. Size and material: Enclosures and mounting footprints vary by model, with options in metal housings or sturdy plastics designed for heat management in typical equipment environments. Performance: Emphasizes efficient conversion, stable DC output, and protective features such as overload or shortcircuit protection as provided by the model. Practical applications Factory automation panel: A power entry module provides a safe mains inlet with filtering and protection, while a rectifier supplies clean DC power to control electronics and field I/O. Laboratory bench power setup: Rectifiers deliver stable DC rails for test instruments and experiments; the power entry module simplifies connection to the mains and protects the equipment. Telecommunications or network cabinet: The combination ensures reliable DC rails for line cards and peripherals, with a dedicated power entry module for protection and a rectifier for consistent output.
