Power Entry Modules provide a safe, compact way to bring mains power into an enclosure. They mount in standard panel openings and accept common power cords. Available in several configurations, they can include fuse protection, a switch, or EMI/RFI suppression as required by your application. - What it does and why you need it: a reliable, easy to wire power inlet that simplifies service and reduces wiring inside the cabinet. - Function and compatibility: supports standard cord sets and fits common enclosure cutouts; multiple footprint and mounting options to suit different panel sizes and regional mains standards. - Size and materials: compact footprints for slim panels; housings made from flame retardant plastic or metal, with insulating barriers where needed. - Performance: rated for typical mains voltages and currents; exact ratings and safety approvals vary by model—consult the specific datasheet for details. - Use scenarios: 1) Industrial control panel to feed PLCs and drives with fused protection. 2) Lab instrument enclosure for quick cord changes and safe isolation. 3) Front or rear mounted power entry in a rack or equipment enclosure for neat cord management. - How to choose: select the variant that matches your enclosure size, required protection (inlet only, fuse, switch), and regional power standards.
