Power Entry Modules A compact, integrated solution that groups the power inlet, switch, fuse holder, and optional EMI filter into a single panelmounted unit. Designed to simplify wiring, improve safety, and reduce assembly time for equipment that requires a reliable mains connection. Key benefits Simplifies assembly: combines multiple power functions into one component to reduce wiring steps and potential wiring errors. Improves safety and serviceability: incorporates a secure inlet, switch and fuse holder for easier maintenance and clearer access to protective elements. Reduces footprint: compact, panelmounted design frees internal space compared with multiple discrete components. Controls interference: optional integrated EMI/RFI filter versions help meet conducted emissions requirements without separate filter modules. Consistent, reliable performance: engineered contacts and mounting reduce loose connections and vibrationrelated failures. Main functions Mains inlet: accepts standard power cords for secure chassis connection. On/off control: builtin rocker or toggle switch for convenient power control at the equipment panel. Overcurrent protection: fuse holder or cartridge fuse access for fast replacement and circuit protection. EMI filtering (optional): reduces conducted noise onto and from the mains, helping meet EMC requirements. Grounding and strain relief: integrated features provide safe earth connection and cable retention. Compatibility and form factor Designed for panel mounting and to fit common cutouts used in industrial and commercial equipment. Multiple mounting and terminal styles available to match screw terminals, solder lugs, or quickconnect needs. Available in compact sizes to suit small enclosures and fullsize options for highercurrent applications. Constructed from durable, flameretardant plastics and plated metal contacts for longterm reliability. Performance and materials Durable mechanical switch mechanisms and robust contact plating for consistent electrical performance over many cycles. Fuse holders engineered for easy replacement while maintaining secure retention during operation and transport. EMI filter variants use standard filter topologies to attenuate commonmode and differentialmode noise where required. Applications / use scenarios OEM equipment assembly: Streamline production of electronic instruments, test equipment, and control panels by installing a single module in the power entry cutout instead of multiple components. Industrial control enclosures: Provide a protected, serviceable mains connection with integrated fuse and switch for motor drives, PLC panels, and factory automation devices. Lab and bench equipment: Offer safe, easily replaceable fusing and a clear power switch for benchtop instruments and medicalsupport devices (use certified modules as required for regulated equipment). Why choose a power entry module Lowers assembly cost and complexity while standardizing the power interface across product lines. Improves user safety and serviceability by keeping power entry elements accessible and clearly organized. Offers configurable options (filtering, terminal type, switch style) so you can match electrical and mechanical requirements without redesigning the panel. For selection, choose the module variant that matches your required inlet style, terminal type, fuse rating, switch configuration, and filter need. If regulatory or medicaldevice certifications are required, select a module with the appropriate approvals.
