Introduction

4710.3014 Power Entry Connectors - Inlets, Outlets, Modules are current-carrying apparatus designed for insertion and voltages up to 250 VAC to 10 A. The complete line of Power Entry Connectors - Inlets, Outlets, Modules is supplied in a standard range of 2, 3, and 4-pole configurations. This article will discuss the 4710.3014 application field and working principle.

4710.3014 Application Field

4710.3014 Power Entry Connectors - Inlets, Outlets, Modules are mainly used for mobile power applications. They are usually mounted directly on the enclosure, eliminating the need for pre-installed wiring. They have various advantages over other types of connectors including:

• Compact and robust design
• Easy installation with snap on design
• Universal voltage compatibility
• Wide range of accessories for custom configurations, including mounting hardware, strain reliefs, and covers

4710.3014 Working Principle

The 4710.3014 Power Entry Connectors - Inlets, Outlets, Modules consist of an electrical module for controlling the current flow, a contactguard, and a connector housing to provide insulation and support. The connector housing is designed to be mounted directly on the enclosure with the electrical module inside. The contactguard consists of a flexible, flat metal plate with two contacts. It acts as a protective shield to prevent the accidental insertion of foreign objects or hazards into the connector housing.

The electrical module includes two main components: a contact block and a terminal block. The contact block is the power distribution block that is mechanically connected to a pole in the connector housing. The contact block consists of electrically conductive contacts and mounting studs. The terminal block is the ground wire connection that is also mechanically connected to a pole in the connector housing. The terminal block is further divided into the connection block and the terminal board.

Conclusion

The 4710.3014 Power Entry Connectors - Inlets, Outlets, Modules are a high-quality, reliable, and safe solution for mobile power applications. Their compact design and universal voltage compatibility make them perfect for a wide range of applications, from consumer electronics to industrial machinery. The contactguard provides a reliable shield to prevent accidental insertion of foreign objects, and the contact and terminal blocks ensure proper current regulation and ground connection.
