Building or repairing electronic equipment like amplifiers, power supplies, or lab gear? This power entry module is a complete, professional-grade solution for getting AC power into your chassis. It combines several essential components into one neat package.
The front is a standard IEC C14 (computer-style) socket where you plug in your power cord. Behind the panel, it integrates an EMI/RFI filter to reduce electrical noise from entering or leaving your device, a rocker power switch, a fuse holder (fuse not included, typically a 10A slow-blow), and a voltage selector (115V/230V).
Rated for 250V AC at 10 amps per contact. The whole assembly mounts in a standard rectangular panel cutout. Wiring is straightforward: just connect your incoming mains wires and the outgoing wires to your device's internal transformer or circuitry.
It's a huge time-saver and gives your project a clean, finished look while providing important safety and filtering functions. Always ensure proper wiring and grounding for safety. A staple component for any serious electronics workshop or manufacturer.
