6VM1 Connectors, Interconnects

Power entry connectors are vital components in electrical systems, they provide an interface between an electrical device and its power source. They come in many forms, including inlets, outlets, modules and plugs. The 6VM1 is one type of power entry module.

The 6VM1 is a multi-function power entry module, designed primarily for use in medical applications. It combines power filtering, power switching, and power sequencing in a single, compact solution. This makes it ideal for use in medical systems where multiple power sources, with different levels of power quality, must be integrated.

The 6VM1 consists of a filter module, switch module, and an integrated outlet module. The filter module consists of a high-capacity differential noise filter, which helps reduce conducted and radiated electromagnetic interference. The switch module provides both an input switch and output relay, allowing utility power to be switched off when necessary. The integrated outlet module allows the connection of up to five power cords through polarized outlets.

The 6VM1 module is designed to meet the necessary metrological and safety requirements for medical equipment, ensuring it is suitable for use in medical applications. One key feature of this is its ability to sequence power, allowing power to be applied to the device in the correct order of magnitude. This is important in medical applications since incorrect powering of components could lead to damage. The 6VM1 also provides local power supply reset and local drive capability.

The working principle of the 6VM1 module is relatively simple. Once installed, the device is connected to the power supply. Input voltage is connected to the main switch, and the output voltage is connected to the integrated outlet module. When power is applied to the filter module, differential noise filters reduce conducted and radiated EMI. The switch module then activates the relay, enabling the power to be switched on or off as necessary. Finally, the integrated outlet module conducts the output voltage, providing a terminal point for up to five power cords.

The 6VM1 power entry module is designed primarily for medical applications, where a combination of power filtering, switching, and sequencing is required. It is a reliable and compact solution, capable of providing a convenient interface between a device and its power source. With its highly advanced features, such as differential noise filtering and power sequencing, it is an excellent choice for medical applications.
