Power Entry Modules

If you market your equipment worldwide, you know you have to provide for ...

  • Multiple different wall plugs
  • Different fuse standards from North America to Europe
  • Multiple voltage selection
  • On/Off switching
  • Different RFI filter performances for different markets

The combinations are endless ... the multiplication of equipment models costly.

  • IEC320 Connector - Common to all modules, this universal connector allows your equipment to be used in every country by selecting the appropriate line cord at installation.
  • Fusing Options - North American or European or Both? One fuse or two?
  • Voltage Selection Options - 4-voltage, 2-voltage, or 1 -voltage? SPST? SPDT? Multi-tap? Centertap? Dual Primary?
  • Power Switching - Yes or no? DPST? International I/O icons. Current ratings up to 10 Amps, high inrush currents.
  • Filtering Options - Choice of five filter circuits (all with low leakage current to meet any international standard) to fit specific filtering objectives:
    1. General Purpose (GG, J, LA, and M) - most cost effective, for susceptibility and for high-frequency emissions "clean-up" when used with a board-level filter.
    2. Medical (in HG, J, L, M, and P Series) - for UL544 patient-connected medical equipment.
    3. Emissions/Linear (in L and P Series) - capable of bringing most digital equipment with linear power supplies into FCC compliance.
    4. Emissions/SMPS-FCC (in M and LA Series) capable of bringing most digital equipment with switching power supplies into FCC Class B compliance.
    5. Emissions/SMPS-VDE (in M and LA Series) - capable of bringing most digital equipment with switching power supplies into VDE Level B (as well as FCC Class B) compliance.
