Power Entry Modules What this product does Combines the power inlet and common control elements into a single, readytoinstall module to simplify AC mains integration. Centralizes functions such as the mains inlet, on/off switch, fuse or fuseholder, and optional EMI/RFI filtering into one component for faster assembly and cleaner panel layouts. Key benefits — why you need it Simplifies installation: One module replaces multiple discrete parts, reducing wiring time and potential assembly errors. Improves safety and serviceability: Integrated fuseholders and accessible controls make maintenance faster and reduce exposure to live wiring. Saves panel space and standardizes chassis cutouts: A compact, repeatable footprint helps streamline enclosure design and manufacturing. Reduces parts count and inventory complexity: Fewer separate components lower procurement and stocking overhead. Supports consistent performance: Factoryintegrated connections and mounting reduce variability compared with fieldassembled solutions. Important attributes Function: Integrates power entry, switching, protection, and optional filtering into a single unit to manage mains connection and basic protection functions. Compatibility: Designed to work with standard chassis cutouts and common mains wiring practices, making it suitable for a wide range of equipment layouts. Size and mounting: Available in compact and fullfeature footprints to accommodate different panelspace requirements and mounting styles. Materials: Constructed from durable insulating housings and corrosionresistant conductive contacts to provide reliable mechanical and electrical performance. Performance: Engineered for continuous mainslevel operation with secure mating, reliable switching life, and support for protective fusing and EMI suppression where required. Practical use scenarios Industrial control panels: multiple discrete inlets, switches, and fuseholders with a single module to speed assembly and simplify maintenance. Benchtop and laboratory instruments: Use a compact power entry module to keep the front or rear panel tidy while providing accessible power and overcurrent protection. Professional AV and IT equipment: Standardize power connections across rack units and enclosures to ensure consistent installation and service procedures. Why choose a power entry module Streamlines product assembly and ongoing service Reduces wiring errors and improves safety Standardizes panel layouts and simplifies procurement For system designers and production teams seeking a practical, dependable way to manage mains entry, power entry modules offer a straightforward, spacesaving, and servicefriendly solution without the need to assemble multiple discrete parts.
