719W-00/03

Power entry connectors are input devices used to connect electrical equipment to a power supply. Examples of these connectors include inlets, outlets, and modules, commonly referred to as 719W-00/03. They provide the connection of external power to devices such as computers, appliances, and other consumer electronics.

Application field

719W-00/03 connectors are typically used in consumer electronics applications. One example where they are commonly employed is in the connection of personal computers (PCs) to external power supplies. They are also highly utilized as connectors between external peripherals such as keyboards, mice, and USB hubs, and the power supplies of computers and other devices. Additionally, these connectors are often employed in small household appliances to facilitate connection to external power supplies.

Working principle

719W-00/03 connectors are designed to supply power with protection against short-circuiting and overvoltage. These connectors usually include a power cord and power inlet, which is a plastic or metallic plate with metal contacts. The purpose of the contacts is to make contact with the cords and secure the connection when plugged in. The contacts also ensure that the power to the device is connected properly and make sure the amount of voltage is correct for the device.

The power inlet consists of a male and female contact that securely fits together. The male contact is designed to match the shape and size of the power cord and is typically made of brass, nickel, or aluminum. The female contact typically features two metal plates or a split-blade design, which allows for the secure connection of multiple cords. The female contact also contains an internal mechanism that triggers a safety shut-off if high voltage or short-circuiting occurs.

719W-00/03 connectors are generally reliable, secure, and offer protection against short-circuiting and overvoltage. Additionally, due to their design, the connectors can accommodate multiple cords and provide a secure fit when inserted. As a result, these connectors make an ideal fit for consumer electronics applications.
