Power Entry Modules Why customers choose a power entry module Combine the AC inlet, switch, fuse holder, and common power components into a single assembly to save space and simplify assembly. Reduce wiring time and installation errors by providing a factoryaligned, readytomount interface between the mains supply and your product. Improve serviceability: integrated fuse holders and accessible switches make field maintenance faster and safer. Key benefits Simplifies design and assembly: one part replaces multiple discrete components, reducing parts count and labor. Spaceefficient: compact, panelmount form factor keeps the enclosure footprint small. Reliable electrical connection: engineered contact interfaces and secure mounting reduce the risk of loose wiring and intermittent faults. Consistent user interface: standardized inlet and switch placement improves usability and field servicing. Important attributes Function: provides a single point for AC power entry and commonly integrated functions such as inlet, on/off switch, fuse holder, and EMI/RFI filtering (where applicable). Compatibility: compatible with standard panel cutouts and commonly used AC inlet and fuse sizes; designed to integrate with typical enclosures and harnessing practices. Size and form factor: compact panelmounted assemblies designed to minimize frontpanel space while allowing easy access to controls and fuses. Materials and construction: durable housings and contact materials engineered for repeated use and secure mounting; insulation and creepage distances appropriate for mainslevel applications. Performance: built for stable mains connection, straightforward serviceability, and consistent electrical performance in typical equipment environments. Practical applications Industrial equipment: use in control panels and test systems to provide a neat, serviceable mains interface and protect equipment with an integrated fuse holder and power switch. Network and telecom enclosures: simplify rack or wallmount device front panels by consolidating power entry and control functions into a single opening. Consumer and professional electronics: install in desktop instruments, laboratory devices, and audio equipment to provide a clean, manufacturable power entry solution that eases assembly and . Installation and integration notes Mounts into a single panel cutout for faster assembly; check panel thickness and cutout dimensions during design to ensure a proper fit. Wiring access and terminal types are designed for standard harnessing methods; follow safe wiring practices and local electrical codes during installation. For devices requiring EMI filtering, select modules that include filtering or pair the module with a separate filter designed for your noise suppression needs. What to consider when selecting a module Required integrated functions (inlet only, inlet + switch, fuse holder, filter, or combinations). Panel cutout size and mounting orientation to match your enclosure design. Terminal type and wire gauge compatibility for your application's current requirements. Environmental needs such as temperature range, ingress protection, and mechanical durability. If you need a compact, reliable way to bring mains power into your equipment while reducing assembly time and simplifying maintenance, a power entry module provides a practical, serviceable solution.
