Power Entry Connectors - Inlets, Outlets, Modules

A power entry connector is a device designed to provide power to systems, equipment and machines. They are also known as inlets and outlets, and can be any type of electrical plug or receptacle. Generally, power entry connectors are used to connect power to electrical equipment and machines, but they may also be used to connect specialized devices, such as measuring instruments, data acquisition systems, and industrial control systems.

There are several designs of power entry connectors that provide varying levels of functionality. The most common types include power inlets, power outlets, and modules. Inlets, also known as plugs, are usually the source of AC power, while outlets supply the AC power. Modules are used for equipment with multiple connections.

Power Inlets

Power inlets are the most common type of connector used in power entry connectors. Power inlets are designed to transfer power from one device to another, such as between an AC power source and a piece of equipment. They are used to connect two separate pieces of equipment and provide electrical protection for the equipment and the system. Power inlets offer a variety of features, including current ratings, certificates of safety, and the ability to handle both AC and DC applications.

Power Outlets

Power outlets are also known as power receptacles. They are designed to provide a connection point for incoming power and are used as an output for power entry connectors. Power outlets are typically rated for a specific voltage and current, and are used to provide electrical protection for the equipment and the system. Some power outlets are designed to have higher current ratings than the typical inlet, and may also be used to provide protection for larger pieces of equipment.

Modules

Modules are used when equipment needs more than one connection, such as for multiple power sources. Modules provide the connection between multiple power sources and a single piece of equipment. Modules can be used to provide electrical protection for the system, as well as for the equipment. They are generally rated for a specific voltage and current, and are available in a variety of sizes and shapes. Modules can also be used to provide a connection between multiple devices, such as between power sources, measuring instruments, and control systems.

718-10/28 Application Field and Working Principle

The 718-10/28 power entry connector is a high-performance and durable power inlet used in electrical systems. It is designed to provide a connection between AC power sources and various electrical appliances. The connector is rated for a current up to 10A and is UL and CSA certified. It can be used in a variety of applications, including high-performance medical equipment, safety systems, industrial equipment, and laboratory equipment.

In order to work, the 718-10/28 power entry connector is used in conjunction with an AC power outlet. The inlet is connected to the outlet via two wires - one red (positive) and one black (negative). The inlet must be connected to the outlet properly, with the correct polarity, in order to ensure a safe and reliable connection between the two devices. Additionally, the power entry connector must be properly mounted and secured, as it could cause a hazardous situation if it becomes loose or disconnected.
