Component Benefits

Reliable mains power entry depends on more than just a socket. ISL combines input, switching, and circuit protection into one value added module that simplifies your panel design while improving safety and serviceability.

  • Integrated Power Entry: Combines an IEC C14 inlet, on/off switch, and fuse drawer into one module, reducing separate components and simplifying panel layout.
  • Tool Free Snap In Mounting: The snap in body installs quickly into a standard rectangular panel cutout without additional hardware, lowering assembly time.
  • Built In Circuit Protection: An integrated fuse drawer accommodates a fuse for overcurrent protection, adding safety without extra board space (fuse and drawer sold separately).
  • Fast Quick Connect Termination: Quick connect terminals speed up wiring and support reliable, repeatable connections during manufacturing.
  • Robust Ratings and Compliance: Rated for 10A at 250VAC with a terminating cover for added safety, and RoHS3 compliant for broad regulatory acceptance.

Component Applications

ISL power entry modules are engineered for equipment that requires a compact, switched, and fused mains connection in a single panel opening.

  • Commercial Kitchen and Food Service Equipment: Switched, fused mains entry for fryers, ovens, and countertop appliances.
  • Industrial Instrumentation and Test Gear: Panel mounted power entry for benchtop supplies, analyzers, and control enclosures.
  • Medical and Laboratory Devices: Compliant IEC inlet with integrated fusing for diagnostic and processing equipment.
  • IT and Networking Hardware: Rack and chassis mounted power entry for servers, switches, and power distribution units.
  • General Purpose Enclosures: Any equipment requiring a compact, switched, fused mains connection in a single front or rear panel opening.

The Panel Mount AC Inlet by ISL is an IEC 320 C14 power entry module that consolidates mains input, an integrated on/off switch, and a fuse holder into a single, space saving assembly. The value added design gives OEMs a complete front or rear panel power solution in one component, reducing part count, simplifying wiring, and streamlining the overall build. Rated for 10A at 250VAC across three positions, the module suits a wide range of commercial and industrial equipment where safe, code compliant power entry is required.

Installation is fast and tool free thanks to a snap in body that seats into a standard rectangular panel cutout measuring 27.90mm by 47.00mm, while quick connect terminals allow rapid, repeatable wiring during manufacturing. An integrated fuse drawer accepts a fuse for built in overcurrent protection, and a terminating cover adds an extra measure of safety at the connections. The fuse and drawer are sold separately, giving designers flexibility to match protection ratings to the specific application. With active part status and RoHS3 compliance, the inlet is well suited to long term production programs.

These qualities make the Panel Mount AC Inlet a practical choice wherever a compact, switched, and fused mains connection is needed. Typical uses include commercial kitchen and food service equipment such as fryers and ovens, industrial instrumentation and benchtop test gear, medical and laboratory devices that require compliant power entry with integrated fusing, and IT and networking hardware including servers, switches, and power distribution units. It also serves general purpose enclosures across many industries that benefit from combining power entry, switching, and circuit protection in a single panel opening.
