6173.0028 Application Field and Working Principle

The 6173.0028 Power Entry Connector (PEC) is a cable-mounted inlet/outlet combo designed to give the user flexibility, convenience, and reliable power distribution to electronic components in an electrical system. The 6173.0028 is popular in a variety of applications, from professional medical or communications devices to industrial power and instrumentation projects.

The 6173.0028 is a two-piece unit. One part is the socket, or inlet, which is mounted on the test object/device to be connected with the electrical supply. The other part is the power cord, or outlet, which plugs into a wall socket and supplies power to the device. The 6173.0028 includes two mounted locking collars, enabling the two parts to lock together with maximum security, to ensure the safest possible electrical connection.

The 6173.0028 supports a UL and CSA listed three-pole plus ground configuration. It is available with a choice of either a standard locking tab configuration or a newer flat/wave configuration, which conforms to the latest European standards. It is also available in a variety of colors to better match the look of the device it is being used with. Additionally, the 6173.0028 has an optional recessed or stepped top-level power cord support for when clearance is limited.

The working principle of the 6173.0028 is quite simple. When the two parts of the power entry connector are connected, an electrical connection is established. The power cord sends electricity through the terminal pins of the socket, and then to the attached device. The socket includes two ice cube sockets into which the power cord is inserted, ensuring that the connection is secure and that the power can flow where it is needed.

In addition to providing a reliable power connection, the 6173.0028 also provides an effective way to protect equipment from excessive amounts of current. It includes a 10A overcurrent protection element, which is a built-in, 10A rated fuse that monitors the amount of current being drawn by the connected device. When the device draws too much current, the fuse breaks, interrupting the flow of electricity, protecting both the device and the system from any further damage or interference.

The 6173.0028 is an excellent choice for users looking for a reliable and secure power entry connector. Its two-piece design, simple installation process, and integration of overcurrent protection makes it ideal for many applications. Its flexibility in color, configuration, and mounting options makes it an ideal connector for virtually any device or project.
