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.

E-T-A Timer Relays

Timer relays are especially suitable for the use in passenger cars, trucks, buses as well as construction machinery and emergency vehicles. They control pumps, valves or motors, which are meant to overtravel or stay open for a defined period of time. They equally control the co-ordinated, sequential switch-on of loads to avoid load peaks (e.g. with fans).

E-T-A timer relays are available for DC 12 V and DC 24 V applications and are suitable for standard automotive relay sockets to ISO 7588.

Key Features:

Functions: Provide ON delay, OFF delay, and interval timing, allowing for flexible, programmable operation.
Technical Design: Features include solid-state reliability
Installation: Designed to fit standard automotive relay sockets to ISO 7588, facilitating easy replacement.

Key Benefits:

Load Management: Enables sequential switching to avoid power peaks and protects batteries.
Durability: Engineered for harsh conditions with robust construction.
Customization: Offers flexible, programmable parameters for specific vehicle needs.

Applications:

Buses
Trucks
Construction Machinery
Specialized Vehicles
Protecting Circuits and Controlling Devices that need to run for a specific duration

Schurter 4792: Outlet 16A for Flexible Wiring

4792 – Outlet 16A for Flexible Wiring

Mechanically Robust Design
Available in Three Colors: Black, White, Grey
90° Rotated Terminals

When space is limited and wiring must be efficient, every detail counts. The new Schurter 4792 outlet type J offers an intelligent solution: horizontally aligned connections, rotated 90° compared to standard designs. This variant facilitates wiring in power distribution units (PDUs).

The 4792 outlet combines space-saving design with easy installation. The snap-in mounting system for wall thicknesses from 0.8 to 3.0 mm (standard: 1.2 and 1.5 mm; variants on request) enables quick and secure installation.

Available in black, white, or gray, the 4792 outlet offers greater design freedom for a variety of applications. With several connection options (standard: QC 6.3 mm; QC 4.8 mm, solder or PCB connections available on request), it offers various wiring possibilities. Certified according to VDE, UL, and CCC, the 16 A outlet guarantees worldwide conformity and safety.

The new 4792 outlet with a rated current of 16 A is suitable for use as a component in power distribution units (PDUs), which are used in particular in data centers, but also for other applications such as industry, IoT, and IT/telecommunications.
