Power Entry Connectors - Inlets, Outlets, Modules

Power entry connectors are a type of electrical connectors that allow power to be supplied to equipment or machine. They consist mainly of inlets, outlets and modules. Each component of the power entry connector has a specific purpose and functions differently.

Inlets

Inlets are the type of power entry connectors used to accept incoming power. This type of connector contains an assembly consisting of a cord set, cable gland and contact terminals. Inlets can be used in either alternating current (AC) or direct current (DC) rated applications. They also feature locking mechanisms, ensuring a secure connection between the power cord, contact terminals and the equipment. Inlets can also be filtered to protect sensitive electronics from harmful electromagnetic noise to ensure maximum performance.

Outlets

Outlets are the type of power entry connectors used to deliver power to equipment or machine. Outlets are typically used with power cords and cordsets. Outlets provide a secure connection between the power cord and contact terminals, as well as contact elements for grounding. Outlets can also be designed to be water resistant and can include a fuse for overload protection.

Modules

Modules are electrical connectors used to provide power to the equipment or machine. They are typically used in combination with outlets and inlets to provide power to the equipment and protect it from harmful voltage spikes or unexpected power loss. Modules can also include backup power supplies to ensure the equipment is powered up even if there is a power failure.
