Power Entry Modules Power entry modules provide a robust, panel mounted solution for connecting equipment to mains power. They combine an electrical inlet with optional components such as fuse holders, switches, EMI/RFI filters, and cord grips in a compact, durable housing. These modules are designed to mount in standard panel cutouts and offered in a range of sizes and configurations to fit many enclosures. Key benefits Simplify wiring and assembly by consolidating inlet and optional components into a single, modular part. Improve safety and reliability through secure mounting, strain relief, and protected connections. Enhance serviceability with modular designs that are easier to or upgrade. Support compliant, robust power entry for a variety of applications with durable materials and proven electrical concepts. Key attributes Function Provides a mains power inlet for equipment, with options for integrated fuse holding, switch control, and EMI/RFI filtering where available. Compatibility Available in multiple configurations to fit common panel cutouts and mounting styles; compatible with a range of voltages and currents depending on model. Cord grips and connector types vary by configuration to match enclosure needs. Size Compact, low profile forms designed to suit small to mid sized equipment and tight enclosures; selectable form factors to match panel thickness and space. Material Housings constructed from durable thermoplastics or metal for rugged or industrial use; designed to withstand typical electrical environments. Performance Engineered for reliable mains connection with standard electrical ratings appropriate for intended applications; options may include EMI/RFI suppression and protective features as part of the module configuration. Use scenarios Industrial control panel Mount in control cabinets to provide a secure mains inlet with optional fuse and switch, reducing wiring complexity and improving serviceability in production environments. Consumer appliance or equipment Integrate into household or office devices where a compact, panel mounted power entry is needed for reliable connection and maintenance access. Laboratory bench or test setup Use as a clean, modular inlet compatible with test rigs, allowing quick changes to fuse or switch configurations while maintaining a tidy enclosure. How to choose (practical considerations) Determine the required function: inlet only, inlet with fuse, inlet with switch, or combinations including a filter. Confirm panel cutout size and mounting style to ensure proper fit. Select the voltage and current rating appropriate for the equipment and expected load. Choose materials based on environment (aerospace, industrial, or consumer settings) and required durability. Consider additional features such as EMI/RFI filtration or sealed vs non sealed variants depending on dust, moisture, or cleanliness requirements.
