What is a Power Inlet Module?

A power inlet module is a device that combines multiple functions into a single unit to control power entry. They can provide circuit protection in two main paths: fuses or circuit breakers. Both lower the chances of harming the equipment or causing the end user physical injury. The inlet is the conduit for providing power with a detachable cord set. The most common means of connecting cable to equipment is via the IEC 60320 (C14, C13, etc.). The inlet contains blades for receiving a cord.

Why Choose E. Preston?

We have been operating for over 42 years as a distributor and wholesaler of electric and electronic components since our inception in 1980. We have grown considerably since those early days, a growth that we believe is attributable to our high standards of customer service which have always been part of the experience of dealing with E Preston.

We have a slightly old-fashioned approach to customer service which entails doing simple things such as ringing a customer back when you said you were going to ring them back, and following through on any promises.

Our service also entails providing you, the customer, with providing expert advice and assistance on the products we sell and their uses and applications.

We stock and distribute power inlet modules from industry-known brand names such as Arcolectric, Bulgin, Schaffner and Schurter. Our range of modules is second to none. Where required, we will do our upmost to ensure that you receive your order for next day delivery.

Our premises are in Dukinfield, Cheshire but we send orders to the whole of the UK and beyond.

Do you need more flexible payment terms? Talk to us, and we can potentially provide that too.

Schurter FPR High-Performance Fuse Holder

FPR – High-Performance 5x20 Fuse Holder for Vertical PCB Mounting

3.2 Watt rated power acceptance
For vertical PCB mounting
Suitable for 5x20 fuses
IP40 Protection class

Modern electronic designs require ever higher power density with reduced space requirements – without compromising on safety and reliability. The FPR fuse holder was developed precisely to meet these requirements. It offers an impressive 30% higher power consumption with the same footprint as the well-established FPG4 series. This means more thermal load capacity without taking up additional space on the PCB.

With a power consumption of 3.2 watts at 10 amps at 23 °C ambient temperature, the FPR significantly outperforms the previous generation. The housing dimensions remain compact at 12.5 mm, which enables simple 1:1 integration into existing designs. At the same time, the component meets all relevant standards with regard to vibration resistance in accordance with IEC 60068-2-6 and operates reliably in a temperature range of -40 °C to +85 °C. The IP40 degree of protection rounds off the technical profile.

Compatible with FPG4 Series
The FPR provides developers with a powerful, space-saving and easy-to-install solution that impresses with its high thermal load capacity – all without changing the existing layout. The new fuse holder is 100% compatible with the existing FPG4.

Application Areas
The FPR is particularly suitable for applications with high current loads and limited space – for example in industrial automation, mechanical engineering or building automation.
