4310.0025

Introduction
The 4310.0025 Power Entry Connectors - Inlets, Outlets, Modules by Schurter provide quick and easy connection of equipment to the AC power line. This range of products are available in various shapes and power ratings. They are most commonly used in applications where current and power demands are higher than what a typical power strip can provide. More recently, they have been used in medical, test and measurement, automotive, and industrial applications.

Application Field and Working Principle
The 4310.0025 Power Entry Connectors - Inlets, Outlets, Modules are suitable for use as power distribution equipment, connecting the power cord from the mains supply to the equipment. The connectors are designed to be used with a full range of single-phase and three-phase AC power supplies, and are rated for up to 16A for single-phase applications and 32A for three-phase applications. The connectors have a high degree of electromagnetic and thermal protection, making them suitable for use in sensitive applications. The connecting pins are plated with tin-nickel-copper and feature insulation-displacement contacts, which facilitate the transfer of electricity while minimizing contact resistance. The pins are also designed with vibration-resistant properties, ensuring a reliable connection in vibrating environments.

The 4310.0025 power entry connectors feature a spring-loaded hinged lid which provides easy access to the contacts. The lid is designed to fold back onto the casing and lock, with the locking mechanism secured by two tamper-proof screws. This ensures that the contacts are securely held together during operation, while also providing a degree of protection from accidental contact with the terminals. The individual contacts are numbered for easy installation, and the lid is marked with the appropriate voltage and current rating for easy identification.

The 4310.0025 Power Entry Connectors - Inlets, Outlets, Modules also feature an optional ground-fault circuit-interrupter (GFCI). The GFCI is designed to provide protection from electric shocks by interrupting the circuit when a fault is detected. This is achieved by using a thermal sensor to detect any differential currents between the hot and neutral conductors, and a current sensor to detect any leakage currents. The GFCI is designed to operate quickly and reliably, providing maximum protection for users.

Conclusion
The 4310.0025 Power Entry Connectors - Inlets, Outlets, Modules by Schurter are a reliable and versatile range of products for use in a variety of applications. The design of the connectors provide a high degree of electromagnetic and thermal protection, as well as vibration-resistant properties. The optional GFCI provides additional protection from electric shocks, making them suitably for use in sensitive applications. With various shapes and sizes available, as well as easy installation and maintenance, the 4310.0025 Power Entry Connectors offer a great solution for a wide range of applications.
