Power Entry Modules What it is A compact, integrated component that combines the power inlet with essential control and protection elements (for example: switch, fuse holder, EMI filter, or connector) into a single assembly. Designed to simplify how devices receive and manage mains power, replacing multiple separate parts with one readytoinstall unit. Key benefits — why you need it Simplifies assembly and reduces parts count: single mounting cutout and wiring point speeds production and service. Saves space and improves layout: compact, panel or chassismounted designs up internal room for other components. Improves safety and reliability: engineered contacts and secure mounting reduce loose wiring and connection failures. Streamlines compliance and testing: integrated modules make it easier to meet regulatory and EMC requirements when appropriate modules (with filters or fused options) are selected. Reduces service time: modular replacement is faster and less errorprone than swapping multiple separate components. Core attributes Function: integrates mains inlet with commonly needed power functions such as switching, fusing, and EMI suppression into one unit. Compatibility: intended for use with standard mains wiring and common appliance, industrial, and electronic enclosures; available in versions for various mounting styles and panel cutouts. Size and mounting: compact footprint with standardized cutouts for straightforward panel or chassis installation; minimizes drilling and assembly complexity. Materials and durability: robust housing materials and plated electrical contacts designed for repeated mating and longterm reliable performance. Performance: engineered for dependable mains power delivery with secure contact retention and reduced wiring stress; filter and fuse options improve power quality and protection where required. Typical applications Office and consumer electronics: simplifies power integration for printers, monitors, and desktop power supplies where a clean, compact power entry is needed. Industrial and control panels: centralizes power inlet and safety features for machine control enclosures, test benches, and automation equipment, enabling faster assembly and safer maintenance. Laboratory and test equipment: provides a reliable, serviceable power entry for benchtop instruments and modular test systems where space, safety, and ease of replacement matter. How it solves common problems Eliminates wiring clutter: replaces several separate components and internal wiring runs with a single, neat assembly. Speeds manufacturing and service: standardized modules reduce assembly steps and make field replacement straightforward. Enhances safety and EMC: integrated fuse holders and EMI filter options help protect equipment and reduce interference without extra board space. Practical selection tips Choose the mounting style and cutout that matches your enclosure to avoid rework. Select modules with the required integrated features (switch, fuse, filter) to minimize external parts. Verify contact plating and housing material for your environment (e.g., humidity, frequent mating) to ensure longterm durability. Installation and maintenance notes Install in the intended panel cutout and secure per the module's mounting method; verify proper grounding and fuse rating according to your device requirements. For service, the entire module to restore factorylevel performance and safety without rewiring. A single, integrated solution to simplify power entry, improve safety, and reduce assembly time for a wide range of electronic and electrical equipment.
